I got major news. I've had my t68i with TMobile for a week now and I've been trying to get WAP services to work. I talked numerous times to Amazon.com, TMobile, and Sony Ericcson. Apparently, there were an estimated amount of 250 batch of defective phones that Amazon.com got from Sony Ericcson that cannot work with WAP services. In any cases, according to Amazon, all the phones they have are defective. Just to check, but it's most likely defective - go to your WAP services, and on the top it should say Mobile Internet. If it doesn't, yours is defective, same as mine.
According to Amazon and TMobile - they are currently trying to ressolve the known problem, which they found out 10 days ago from today.
Options:
1. Return it as defective item, cancel your TMobile service, and they'll stick you with the $35 still and the service amount you used.
2. Send the item to Sony Ericcson to get the right OS to be in the phone.....my brother is taking this chance, and maybe I will too. Getting the rebate, but further complicating things with TMobile.
I think they are trying to downplay this problem since not many will activate WAP services immediately.
Get in contact with the folks:
TMobile Customer Care - in the booklet
Amazon.com Phone Number - behind the Amazon.com invoice.
Sony Ericcson Customer care - grab from website or TMobile Rep.
Tell me what you guys are going to do.
Amazon suggested to find a direct dealer for TMObile that has the flash box to reinstall the newest software.
And then fax the price it costs to do it to amazon for the refund. My problem is that I can't find any dealer who can do this. According to the tech rep in Amazon, named Daniel, he had one guy that was able to do it and another that couldn't.
And please add on more info about what you discuss with TMobile and Amazon. Sony Ericcson doesn't have a clue, yet they are the spark that began this problem.
