Re: Cingular withdrawing the Sony/Ericsson z520a ???
This was posted in the Cingular customer forum on 1/20/2006. I am on
hold now (25 minutes) with Cingular trying to get my 2 replacements.
"Once again, we are pleased to say that because of all your posts and
others stating their issue, Sony Ericsson has found the cause of many
of your concerns.
Under certain situations and when you're not turning your devices on
and off as part of their regular usage, customers are experiencing
issues with their Z520a's (i.e., frozen animations, blank screens,
top menu icon corruption and ring tones that don't play for incoming
calls, etc.). The root cause of this issue has been determined by Sony
Ericsson to be a memory leak on the device. The device is currently
not releasing memory as it should when it attempts to move from one
cell site to another. This issue is not occurring in all areas as well
as not in all the models sold, and can be resolved by simply power
cycling the device. The issue will reappear every 3-4 days assuming
the customer does not power cycle the device on a regular basis. This
is very similar to an experience you would have on your desktop when
you are notified that you no longer have memory available to complete
the task and you are asked to reboot your PC.
Any exchanges to the new batch of Z520a will not be available until
after January 23, 2006 (tentative date) when Cingular Wireless receives
the new shipment of these devices without the above said issue.
Exchange Information:
New devices (within 30 days): Return to your POINT OF SALE for
exchange options.
New or refurbished (over 30 days but less than one year ago): Call
Customer Care for options of Exchange by Mail.
Anything other then what was stated here must be directed to Customer
Care, thank you for all your input. Thank you for your comments,
opinions to this topic. It appears that we have provided you with
useful answers. This issue has been thoroughly discussed and is now
closed. Should you find something NEW that we have not already
discussed in this thread - feel free to open another thread to shed
light of your issue or concern. If Cingular Wireless has new
developments with this Z520a as always, we will alert our boards.
Thanks for joining our online community.

See if they will give you the Motorola V557 instead. While it doesn't
have the PICTURE calleri ID on the outside of the phone it is a nicer
phone with the same features.

The V557 also has a bigger screen. Unfortunately, it has less than a
third of the memory of a z520a, and no infrared.

OTOH, it has EDGE, and is thus considerably faster for data.
The next step up from the V557 is the V360:
* Lighter
* Internal antenna
* Double the talk time
* Improved internal color display
* Larger external display
* TransFlash / microSD memory expansion [up tp 256 MB]
* EGPRS (EDGE) Class 10 [faster]
* Push To Talk
* MP3 player
* Extended voice dictation
Drawback:
* Tri-band (850/1800/1900 or 900/1800/1900) rather than quad-band

It looks like the z520a reflashed equipment has been redeployed at this
point so you might be able to get an updated z520a
