Sony Encourages Linux On Their Phones
- zbowling 16y agoSony is a big company and Sony Ericsson is only 50% Sony. Why the Xperia phone is "PlayStation certified" and not the "PSP phone".
- marshray 16y agoThey encouraged Linux on the PS3 once too, remember?
- masklinn 15y agoMy first thought as well: it's a trap.
- lhnz 16y agoI'm sorry but at this point we should all know what kind of company Sony really is. They don't deserve positive PR from trying to sucker geeks again... edit; Not sure how I'm being voted down. This is nothing more than PR. We have already seen their true colours.
- aphexairlines 16y agoYou "may" void the warranty? Sony-Ericsson makes the devices and specifies the warranty terms but doesn't know if you would void it or not?
- bmunro 15y agoWhether you void the warranty or not may depend on the laws concerning warranties in your country/state.
- aphexairlines 15y agoI guess we should read that as "we would like to void your warranty" then :)
- jensnockert 15y agoI guess it may depend on what you're doing with the software, the phones might have a self-destruct button or something... (I guess some companies want to do that with lost phones)
- kalleboo 15y agoI assume they mean, if you brick the phone, the warranty is void. If you reflash your phone but then the hardware breaks, the warranty is still valid.
- meow 15y agofool me once ... fool me twice ...
- rospaya 15y agoNot is it wrong, but also very unfair to call Sony Ericsson just Sony. More so because of the recent rumors that Sony is bailing out.
