Changing Text sounds, Alert sounds, etc?

Hello!

I want my phone to say "You've got mail" when I receive a text, but I can't because the phone doesn't allow for personal tones for texts, alerts, low battery (annoying), and other stuff.

Is there any way I can access anything on my phone? Any program that can take apart everything so i can see it?

over in the "Sony Ericsson Launches 2004 Portfolio" discussion:

whatever

I'm still waiting for their 2003 line of phones to show up in the US. I've been waiting for the T630 or Z600 or Z200 for many months. I finally got the T610 which is outdated, but only because Motorola couldn't deliver on the V600.

I'll believe Q2 or whatever when I see it.

speaker phone in voice mail

any ideas?
whenever I try to use the speaker-phone to listen to my voice-mail, as soon as I confirm that I would like to damage my ears, the voice-mail system says goodbye.
any help would be appreciated.

dust under faceplate resolved

I came upon this solution by accident but none the less it works. I was loking to sell this hone on ebay and as an extra buying incentive, i bought a cheap faceplate (carbon fiber look). not only does the face plate stay on better, it is lighter than the sony ericsson and it did not collect dist in the front screen

Background noise

Does anyone have a problem with the background noise with this phone? I have it, and whenever I'm on the highway, people say it sounds like I'm in a tornado or something. The phone really picks up junk in the background.

I noticed this problem with the SE T616 as well. It seems to be an SE problem.

My girlfriend has the Moto. V400 and there's no background noise at all in my car, so I'm sure it has something to do with the phone.

Closed = Louder, Open = Quieter. (File Transfers.)

OK. So when I use the USB Cable to transfer files to the phone, I find that if the phone is closed, that the sound played for the completed file transfer is MUCH louder than if I have the phone open. Anyone else have this problem? Is there any way to make it quieter when it's closed, or should I just leave it open?

Has anyone had problems with the outside camera?

One of the main reasons for me to Sign In to Phonescoop.com was to ask for info and tips on my new GSM phone, the Z500a. So, here's my 1st question. My phone is having an issue where if I use the camera with the flip closed, it often shows lines instead of the picture. If I zoom in, it'll return to normal, but this is the 2nd phone I've had, and both do this... Got to go, but any info would help! Thanks.

Computer Connectivity / Memory

I'm thinking about getting one of these, it's between this and the Motorola v551. One question, Sony's software for pc connectivity free? I'm really just looking to download photos from the phone and upload mp3 ringtones to it.

Also, any chance the memory is expandable (I'm not holding my breath)?

Thanks,
MacLeod

Desktop Icon?

Anyone have any idea what the purpose of the "Desktop Icon" is? I see that it changes at different times, but I have no idea what it means. The manual doesn't say anything about it either, other than to tell you that it is called the "Desktop Icon"..

Thanks!

trade in or sell

hi i just got a SE z500a about 3 months ago and I hate it. Way too big for me. The phone is in perfect condition (not a single scratch) with just a front face plate problem (slides of real easily) which probably could be fixed by getting a new faceplate. Anyway, i was wondering if it is possible to get a trade in and how much would it pay out. Also if anyone wants it here i can arrange something. Just wondering.
