Hi all, I have a T39m which in the past couple of weeks has begun turning itself off randomly. Also last night when I tried to compose an email on it, each time I tried to enter an email address it would reset itself (i.e.. go back to the pin entry screen). This happened about 8 times in a row before it worked properly again. My question is: is this phone fixable or will the phone need to be replaced? I would prefer the first option as my experience with the 2nd option is that I usually have to be without my phone for at least 3 weeks before I receive a replacement (as would most likely be the case this time as Sony-Ericsson have said they have no stock of the T39 at the moment). If the phone is not fixable, will the problem remain as it is or will it just keep getting worse? Sony-Ericsson have told me that the resetting sounds like it might be a software issue (I currently have R4A008) but the turning off sounds more like a firmware issue, in which case, they would most likely need to replace rather than fix it, does this sound accurate? If anyone has any knowledge or experience of such problems with a T39m I would appreciate any information you can give me. Thanks!
