Grats on your new a829!

That case is sweet looking but is so very expensive!

The SonyStyle website sells the LCD screen protector (2 sheets) for 10 bucks, that should be sufficient to protect the device as the body itself is pretty scratch resistant (well the screen is fairly scratch resistant also). I've used one of those clear cover when I first bought my SE K750 phone, and it didn't last very long, so I don't recommend it.

This should help clear it up. The 818/808 have an aluminium body, which can feel 'plasticky' when you tap it.

Plastic doesn't quite have the same coldness.

Nailed it. That was what I was going to say too, the coldness of metal

BestBuy.com has the A728 on sale for $159.99 with free shipping. This is the lowest price I've seen for this model. Has anyone found anything better?

Wow, that's a great deal!
By the way, does anybody know whether white color will be available in US?

I guess I'll wait for someone else to sell it

Cost me $13 for shipping. Paid $45 in total. ANd quite frankly, I've done plenty of business with Japan sellers and you get things quickly.

In the Manual it says that the Vista 64bit version is not supported.

Does this player works with 64bit Vista?

Because i will get the player in 1 day and i have vista 64bit :-(


thanks

Post back if it works. Does the 818 work with Vista x64?

These are MTP devices so I'd expect them to work.

I guess I'll just have to wait for more sellers...this one is pretty expensive, 27$ for a case that costs 20$, bet I could buy it soon from another one save close to 30$ total
Just have to be little more careful for a while
