First Orange W910 shipment recalled

Posted by Michell | November 13th, 2007

Sony Ericsson recalled the first shipment of W910 phones for Orange in the UK because of a series of firmware problems - one of these were that the phone turned itself off after 10 seconds of use. Another was that it would not accept incoming calls. Therefore Sony Ericsson recalled the first shipment and has now fixed the problems, the manufacturer says.

It’s a bit sad that W910 had these problems because it’s one of the highest spec’d non-smartphones Sony Ericsson has to offer at the moment and is the company’s best music phone available at the moment.

    Yes, its seem only an initial shipment of Orange phones have been recalled. Apparently, the issues have now been resolved.

    Exactly what goldenface said. However there have been some problems with the generic versions, too. Hopefully these will be fixed in the next firmware update.

    Sounds like a faulty device. Try updating it via Sony Ericsson Update Service (although I’m pretty sure there are no updates available) or have it done at a SE service center.

    If none of those help, you must get it replaced.

    this isn’t only a problem on the orange network.. i am on o2, and the same thing has happened to me after having the phone only a month, it started turning itself off, i carried on with this, as it wasn’t too much of a problem, it then stopped me from sending and recieving texts all that came up when i tried to read any txts was ‘operation failed’ i hear that this is a common problem, but is not unique to the orange network. i think it’s the phone in general.

    after having the phone i first of all thought it was great and would recommend it to everyone, however after having it a couple of months i would no longer recommend it, there are much better phones on the market… i am now stuck with mine for a further 15 months! *sigh*
