James Bond

[scaramanga007]

Evening all
Purchased the new z5 bond edition and found it comes with no bond apps of any kind, being it is advertised with a string of things, does any one know how to get them.
I have tried the ex lounge via Sony and trying to get hold of someone on vodaphone is a joke as tried numerous occasions and no one available
I hear from another bond fan this has happened to him also
Any help most appreciated

@ChazzD

Appreciate you coming back to me, thank you. I look forward to hearing from you regarding the extras.

Hi everyone,

Thanks for your patience while I looked into this.

Sony were delaying the release of the added content, but have now made it available. Go to your Xperia Lounge and you should see the content there to download.

Hi ChazzD,

Thanks for looking into this.

Via Xperia Lounge I have been able to access the following

1 x Theme (consisting of 1 x live and 1 x static wallpaper)

           - this disappears from xperia lounge once you have downloaded it              (so I am not sure what happens if you accidentally uninstall it?)

             and is the one that has been "leaked" and can now be

             downloaded from various sources on the net

Sony TV commercial

Made for Bond Interviews (relates to the TV Commercial)

Spectre Trailer

Do you know if this all we are likely to see or are there any further themes / wallpapers / ringtones that will be made available

Thanks again for your help

@ChazzD - Many thanks for looking into this 'problem' but alas there is no new content added to Xperia Lounge, other than what was already there last week. By using the words 'wallpapers' and 'themes' it suggests there should be more than one of each, which there isn't. There is no behind the scenes blog, unless this refers to the Made For Bond advert, but this is unclear as to what blog we should have received. Is it for the advert, or as I was led to believe, Spectre? Have you actually seen what should be available on the Made For Bond phones because there is certainlty a lack of 'loaded with goodies' as was advertised. If you are able to clarify what wallpapers and themes we should have access to it would certainly be appreciated.

There won't be any compensation for this as we have released all the themes and footage we have been provided with.

Hi

Personally I am not looking for any kind of compensation, just enquiring as to whether there will be any further content such as ringtones etc. In my experience exclusive content can differ quite considerably from offer to offer and this has been the case here.

If anyone has any information on additional content i would be grateful.

Thanks again to chazzd for getting this resolved when both stores and customer service had no knoedge

@ChazzD - I'm not looking for compensation either, nor have I asked for any. I was merely looking for confirmation as to what should be on these phones, as per most of the queries on this post. I'm sure I speak for all when I say thank you for your help with this as we have had no help from anyone previously at Vodafone. That said, when you read that these phones will have 'a load of Bond goodies stuffed inside' as per Vodafones official uk blog, it is very disappointing to say the least that we only have 1 wallpaper and 1 theme (not wallpapers and themes as advertised) and no blog from Moneypenny (as advertised) then I'm afraid I will have to take this up with Trading Standards as we have been misled horribly with the content on these phones. Vodafone have advertised one thing and delivered another. All this is not your fault however and I say again thank you for your time in getting some sort of conclusion for us.

Hello chazz
As mu1der has stated the exclusive content is not exactly exclusive as the videos you watch are on you tube links
The wallpaper is OK but were expecting a lot more
Mis advertised and I think the people in marketing need to explain to those of us that have queried it, why advertise something that was not ever going to be on the phone?
Thank you for the ongoing help with this as no one in vodaphone stores, Sony Expedia or vodaphone customer support know anything about it.
Would there be any kind of compensation for those of us that have been promised so much and had little delivered

[scaramanga007]

Hello Eric
Thank you for your quick response
As you can appreciate we bought our phones thinking we were getting exclusive content as was the case on previous phones with bond content on o2
We were expecting the same sort of thing, and feel disappointed that what was advertised has not lived upto the hype.
As a big bond fan I feel a little gutted and disappointed that we have had to ask what was going on and only chazz D has been able to shed any light on this matter
Would like to say a big thank you to chazz D for the help.
And let's hope vodaphone can learn from this for the next release

Hi,

I accessed Xperia Lounge today and all the Bond material, with the exception of the theme, are gone! No trailer, commercial or interviews.

Sorry to ask ChazzD but could you look into this coz it seems like there is no longer any access to the Vodafone exclusive material.
