Sony phone problem... Bux writes I think the problem with the Sony phones is in the programming of the chip(s). Wouldn't this programming be done by the cellular provider? If so, no big deal. In any case it is only an expensive mistake once the phones are sold. The cellular provider only programs the Network access number(s) and a couple of other parameters (for roaming etc). The power problem is probably associated with Protocol Stack or DSP software. This is written by either Sony (QPE) or QCOM. Sony are trying to recall 60K 'phones with the offer of a $50 rebate. This could be a really big pain in the ass for QCOM, as QCOM will have to foot the bill for s/w correction (if it is QCOM s/w at fault). This thread has noted that QCOM has been shipping 'phones as fast as it can make them. The question is... Do QCOM 'phones have the same problem? w.
