What about Sony Ericsson Walkman phones?

I've found three Mac OS X-native methods for using a Sony Ericsson phone with iTunes. Can anyone comment on their experiences with these?
1) SyncTunes:

2) iTuneMyWalkman (a beta-level iTunes script):

3) Dreamsicle, an iLife-like shareware app that integrates these phones with iTunes, iPhoto, and video clips:
http://www.kaisakura.com/dreamsicle.html
Before I hear comments along the lines of "give up and buy a Motorola iTunes phone," let me state the following, which are my experience-derived OPINIONS:
· I dislike the fact that everyone and their mother has a RAZR (or SLVR, to a bit lesser extent).
· I greatly dislike Motorola phones for their mentally-challenged interfaces, dumbed-down Bluetooth implementation, and weak iSync/Address Book integration.
· I more greatly dislike having artificial limits placed on the number (25-100 depending on market and irrespective of memory capacity) and bitrate (128 kbps? why?!?) of the songs I put on my phone.

I would like to exhange my new SLVR for a Sony Ericsson W810i for some of the same reasons you stated: clumbsy UI, weak iSync integration, and song limit.
As long as you can mount the Sony Ericsson's Micro SD memory card on your Mac OS X Desktop via USB, you should be able to use any of the three iTunes options you mentioned, for transfering and listening to non-DRM iTunes files.
I'm hearing conflicting reports. Can anyone please confirm that the Micro SD card mounts via USB and is writable in OS X??
Thanks.

  • Sony Ericsson flip phone with external display

    How do I increase the brightness of the external display on my Sony Ericsson flip phone?  The display brightness in the settings menu only adjusts the internal display backlight but my external display is black and I can't see who is calling me anymore.
    Thanks.

    Finally. If these are not available for sony ericsson mobiles . Please do give us those features as an separate update.
    Thanks
    Lokesh.

    Hello lokeshkumarn
    You are right, unfortunately some apps are made available only for certain models, also some carriers may request some apps to be included or be left out of their custom firmware.
    Most of the additional widgets and apps are available in the Play store for you to download.

    how to zoom while taking picture in sony ericsson walkman w8

    Hi,
    There is no zoom feature on the XPeria™ w8, however you may be able to install an application from the Android™ market that could add this feature. You can try one called "Vignette".

  • Sony Ericsson Flashlite phones

    hey all,
    just out of interest, does anyone know what version of flash
    lite these sony ericsson handsets are shipped with?
    V850i
    W710i
    K610im
    V630i
    They are all listed on sony ericssons uk website as having
    fl, but are not listed in the adobe supported device listing on the
    developer section.
    Matt

    SE devices are usually Flash Lite 1.1 enabled, but you must
    check case by case. Some of them also just have Flash Lite imaging
    (Flash Lite screensavers and wallpapers support) functionality, so
    make sure to search about their capabilities.

  • SOLVED Support for Sony-Ericsson X10 phone's mass-storage (SEMSC)

    I wonder if anyone's found how to mount the phone's SD-card. lsusb shows
    it correctly, but fdisk can't find it.
    Tom.
    If the USB-cable is plugged into both PC and X10, X10 thinks that it should use it for battery charging.
    I unplugged it, set '/Settings/Sony Ericsson/Connectivity/USB Connection mode' to Mass storage mode,
    ticked '/Settings/Sony Ericsson/Connectivity/Auto connect in MSC' and then connected the USB-cable
    to the X10. That worked.
    Tom.

    Still doesn't mount, regardless of ArchLinux or any other Linux system.
    At this stage I'm not too fuzzed as I can transfer files using bluetooth.  USB would be nice to have,
    but if I absolutely need speed I'll pop the microSD-card out of the X10 and stick it into a USB-adapter.

  • Video clip for sony ericsson c902 phone!

    Im trying to make a video clip for a sony ericcsson c902 phone. Ive been told it uses mp4 video at 320x240.
    the clip Im trying to convert is hdv 16:9. in the settings Ive selected mp4 and in the output image insert (padding) drop down menu Ive selected 16:9.
    when the clip has rendered and I test it in the quick time player it looks like the image is not 16:9 it looks squished. Ive checked the settings in compressor and it says pixel apsect ratio 0.7500.
    am I doing somthing wrong? is it possible to make a 16:9 clip for this phone?
    thank you very much for any help.

    thanks for you advice. Iv emade the clip and it loks fine Ive given it to the people that asked em to do it but they dont no how to put it on there phone.
    I feel like giving up!

  • Hey guys what about the other smart phones running wm6.1 standard ? should develop one web browser for us.

    the .cab file doesnt installed in my phone samsung c 6625

    Looking at the specs, the phone doesn't have enough memory for Firefox. Also, we are dropping support for 240px screens.
    Firefox wouldn't be very usable on a non-touchscreen device either.

  • Sony Ericsson Vivaz Phone Updating

    Hello guys,
    I have a problem with the software of my Vivaz, think I caught a virus because it keeps on opening programms, scrolling the menu and so on without me doing anything. So I would like to Update/Reinstall the firmaware, but to do that using the handset, because the USB port of the phone is broken (common problem of Vivaz). I'm currently using Software Version - 1224-4699_R2EA021. Do you think that would fix the problem?
    Any ideas how can I do that, I don't have a auto update and have to set up one by myself, but don't have the data. I would really appreciate any answers as I like my phone and I'm quite used to it and don't want to change it. Thank you.
    Regards

    i hope adobe response for this demand as a leader company which i think it will be a world wide request.
    Thanks

    Try this http://www.rogueamoeba.com/airfoil/mac/
    It will send all your audio but the syncing between audio and video needs work. Something about a buffer in the AE. It does let you send what ever audio you want though.
