Question
Dear Mr. Debin,
                   I recently have bought "Sony Ericsson Spiro", I m already using W550i from the same brand and know almost every possible way to use W550i.
But for the "Sprio"... I am really sick of this phone. Its processing memory is too low that it got reboot even while checking the pictures.
And the worst thing is that it does not have the outgoing com port, so i am not able to use it as a modem to use internet on my pc or to send data to my pc using bluetooth.

Please help me if there is any way to use internet via this phone on my pc, and if there is any way to increase the performance of phone.

There is one more thing to ask that if there is any way to backup SMS in my pc?

Note: The phone is just one month old and i just update the software from sony ericsson, so there is no hardware and software issue.

Please help me, i'll be highly oblidge of you.

Please dont mind my english is not good.

Thanx.

Answer
As you mentioned, this phone does not have the ability to be used as a modem and actually since it has a smaller amount of memory than what you want for speed, using it as a modem wouldn't make any sense anyway. I hate to tell you this, but I don't think that this device is what you really need for what you want to do. If you want a device that has a lot of internal memory so that you can use it as a modem and view pictures, videos, etc., I would strong recommend that you either get one of the newer Nokia phones or better yet, just get a SmartPhone. These devices are designed for what you are wanting to do and all have much more internal memory. You can likely use Data Pilot or other software with the USB cable to transfer your SMS to your PC. Or you could send your SMS's to your email address and then will have a backup. Just remember that this phone really isn't intended to be used the way it sounds like you want to use it, so if at all possible, perhaps you can sell it and buy something else that will more suit what you are wanting to do. Hope this helps.
