hi,
i own a Sony Ericsson Z200. I downloaded a theme file (aquarius.thm) from this web site. Using Infrared I tried transferring the file to the phone. When it began to transfer, a message appeared in the phone saying \"Invalid data in received item\". Why is that happening? Please help me on this.
thanx,
shiivboy
afaik aquarius themes is for t3x or t6x? not for z series

SE doesn\'t clearly state anywhere that the phone does not accept themes. But, it also has no themes on the site, is not supported by the online theme editor and is not supported by the downloadable theme editor. In fact, the online theme editor suggests that the Z200 does not support themes. Again, there seems to be nothing saying \"no this phone does not support themes\" but everything points in that direction.
I really like the look of this phone but have now found that the phone does not support themes and does not support downloading mophun games. I was considering picking one up as an extra phone but now things are looking very negative for this model.

I hate to say it but yes, the phone is not for you if you wanted to download games to it or add themes. It is sad that SE did not make the limitations clear. I have worked many years in marketing and know that this is what its all about. But I see no reason to turn your users against you by so limiting this phone.
Without having the phone to play with I can\'t say there are no options on this model. Perhaps someone with the phone can try hooking it up to a PC and using Floats to transfer files to the phone. I just don\'t think it is going to work. For example, what games would you send to the phone? All the SE games are designed around other screen sizes. This phone has a unique size display.
Z200 = Good looks and nice phone if you only want it for just a phone. If you have any ideas of adding anything forget it.
You would have been much better served with a phone like the Z600. It is a nice looking phone with all the features you should need in a mobile.
