Apparently the Chinese government has made a decree that Buddhist monks in China need permission to reincarnate.
I’m unsure as to how they intend to regulate this in practice.

The Sony Ericsson S500i comes with a USB cable to synchronise calender and contact data, as well as for downloading music of other content.

What the manual doesn’t tell you is, that while the S500 is connected to the USB cable, it also charges the battery. It is obviously a trickle charge, but it does charge the phone.

In S500i I discussed the difficulties of installing the supporting software for my new Sony Ericsson S500i Mobile phone.
I’ve also been having a SIM related problem, where the phone seemed to periodically lose contact with its SIM and gives an “Insert SIM” message or saying that it was an “Invalid SIM”.
I phoned Christopher Duffy, of Carphone Warehouse in Knutsford, where I had purchased the handset, in order to complain about the “Insert SIM” message. He was kind enough to explain that he had come across this problem before, but there is a solution.
You need to push the SIM right in with a pen until it clicks and locks in place, almost like inserting a memory card. – A little detail that they omitted from the (very superficial) S500 manual! In the manual, it gives the impression that the battery holds the SIM in place. This is not the case!
In order to extract the SIM, it needs to be pushed in again, at which time it pops out.
I wish Sony Ericsson would improve their support and documentation standards to match Nokia’s.
Since “clicking in” the SIM, I have not had the dreaded “invalid SIM” message.
