SWEET MOTHER OF JESUS!!

ok..
So, while playing with the W52S and writing reports for that blog, I got curious...

Turns out I was wrong about some things on the 42, AND uncovered something rather exciting!

1: Music - Using AMP, you can load music to the phone memory, without an external memory card installed. Thus, you dont NEED card for music. Loading via Sonic Stage (thus allowing mp3 files, since AMP will only convert .wma and .m4a files to attrak), you still need the mem card. Music shows up in the auMusic menu as seperate entries for the phone or mem stick.

2: VIDEO! - yes.. full movies. Convert them with Sony Image Converter 2 or 3. Copy them to the memory stick IO folder. Then, on the phone, go to "external memory, PC folder" select the movie file, hit option, then select copy/move to memory stick/phone. When the folder locator comes up, select "File corresponding" Then, watch the move by browsing the memstic or phone's Data folder.. You will see a new entry "EZmovie"

DAYM!!

Moving on....

Well, it was a nice run.. I loved the W42S.
Unfortunately, it stoped being reliable. Something went wrong with the sound one day, and it hasnt been the same since.
Dont get me wrong, it still takes great photos. The music still cranks on the headset (still a great MP3 player)... but I can no longer hear phone calls, or the ring tone, or alarms.. unless the headset is in.

So, I am moving on..
I now have the w52S.. and what a sweat machine it is. Trot over to:
http://w52s.blogspot.com/
to get the latest on that machine.

Now, this does not mean I am gone. If you have W42S questions, or questions about AMP, feel free to ask. I will always be here.

Even if you have the 42, you might want to look over at the 52s page once in a while though, as new 'discoveries' often will apply to the 42.

Whats next for THIS blog? guts and glory. I will likely take the 42 apart, for grins and giggles, and show you whats down in there. And hey, if I can FIX the phone..... ;)

Good luck..
