Xperia Software Update

image We’ve had a couple of comments on the site regarding a sporadic Bluetooth problem with the phone. This is just a quick post to say that as far as we can see, they are fixed in the new ROM which you can download from the Xperia support site.

The new ROM (version 1.02.931.3) speeds up the load time, updates the 3D drivers, adds a Google search bar to the default home screen and  fixes the problem with Bluetooth. (note: as we’ve not had any problems with Bluetooth here, I can’t guarantee that this is right, but according to reports elsewhere, it is.) For a fuller review of what the software update does, check out this fansite for the most in-depth review of the software changes.

New YouTube App for the Xperia

image We’re back from the new year break and thought we’d kick off 2009 with a bunch of new ways you can personalize your Xperia.

The guys over at pocketables have come up with a list of 15 tips for new Sony Ericsson Xperia users (we should say at this point that a couple of the suggestions are quite technical so don’t mess about with settings if you don’t know what they do.) In particular we’re loving the YouTube Panel and the improved battery monitor.

If you know of any other good ways to personalize the phone, please leave them in the comments and I’ll collate them all in to a post later on.
