    Try running all of them. Installing the software for any phone is simple. Try it out again.

    You probably just came across one of the few faulty phones. No manufacturer is perfect, BTW. Sounds like the phone has a faulty EROM. What would be the solution to make the phone to work is to try and update the firmware through Sony Ericsson's Update Service (SEUS). If that fails, you'd have to flash the firmware with a service like wotanserver.com or davinciteam.com. However, using these 2 services would void your warranty with Rogers because you are replacing the Rogers fw with that of the generic fw.

    Since this is your first phone (geez, what a lucky lady), save yourself the hassle and use your warranty with Rogers since this phone is carried by them. If you feel that there is something wrong with the phone that you have, call up Rogers support and don't be hesitant to use your service provider's warranty policy. If you have any additional questions, feel free to post any if need be. Welcome to CPF.

    this is USB driver installation
    the driver includes:
    generic USB
    mass storage (will be installed when the phone is in file transfer mode)
    dial-up modem
    USB virtual network
    USB OBEX
    USB serial (for phone tools)
    make sure the phone is in phone mode (except mass storage), and the installation CD is present
