Other alphabets supported? Can anyone tell me if the Sony supports other alphabets??

yes, but not officially. Russian Cyrillic instructions for 505 here http://www.the-ebook.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7155&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 and for 500 here http://shalf.livejournal.com/11013.html I would definitely look for non-Sony software tools on the web. With such tools, Mac users and others can use the e-reader easily. Waiting for Sony to improve their software can be very frustrating. &#1059;&#1076;&#1072;&#1095;&#1080;!

It does support quite a few languages but I never tried Chinese language. I am not certain about it's supporting Chinese language.

Actually I stop using it as it gave problems after 6 months and after several time to try to contact Sony (email and phone) I bought another brand. It is almost impossible to reach a Sony representative when there are problems...so...I did not have time to check how many languages it has, sorry.

The documentation is in Japanese but on-line manual is available in English from Sony Asia. When device is initially used language can be switched to English - so all is Ok

I'm trying to use the Sony NWZ A818 with Amazon Unbox and I'm not having any luck. Amazon's help text says "*most* plays for sure devices work for Unbox. See our list of supported devices"... and the Sony doesn't appear on this list. I'd love to hear a definitive answer on this but for those of you who are expecting Unbox to work - I don't think it will. Regardless, it's a great player - incredible audio, beautiful screen & device, 100% dependable. I recommend it!

Thanks Matt! Let me know if you get WoO to play. Would adding a flash drive have any benefit??? I too contacted Sony and got transferred 3 times - never getting any help from anyone I talked to.

No, I am sorry to say, it does not. When I discovered this, I reported the error in advertising to Sony. Whether they made the correction in future advertising, I don't k now .

yeah, sorry. Sony designed the PSP to only work with their memory format, the memory stick duo. Those tend to be more expensive on a dollar per gb basis, but there's nothing you can do if you need it for your PSP.

Hello, Romanji and Hiragana are both supported. On English based systems Romanji seems to be the default but you can assign the notes - Vocoloid will work either way, The only thing you would need to watch out for is the note property.

of course ya it is factory unlock so all network all around the world and ya it can be in almost any languages you want, I remember see english, french, spanish, german, russian, romanian, chinese, and japanese. Buenos Noches, Have a nice day :) PS: I prefer Blackberry, Jolla and Xiaomi. Sony the only advantages it is that is water, dust proof and it is playstation compatible.

Ya, I have the same problem. I have a choice between Korean, I think Russian, and a couple other Asian languages; English is not an option. Is there something like a firmware update that will Engish-a-phize this (these - I bought two) for me?

If you want to read and write (and you do), you need comfort with the alphabets. Romanized versions are, in my opinion, a disservice. My wife read many children's books in Hiragana after mastering the basics.

I have no Idea about Chinese language support. I have been using this phone for several months. There is a later version available now so you should not get this model. As a phone it is OK but there are some shortcoming. The operating system is Windows based and is the only phone using it. There are almost no apps available. I also found I had to find and install Microsoft Zune to handle my music and videos.

My Sony Alpha a5000 do have Chinese Menu. But, you must be careful if it is a version export to Europe/USA only - NO Chinese. It is a high quality camera which I like it very much. Or, you should buy it in Hong Kong, so it will definitely have Chinese Language.

Hello B. Pinto,Thanks for your interest, but ours are all English keyboards. I hope you're able to find one that is in Spanish.

I don't know. What does it say on Sony's website? That's the first place I'd look.

It projects a standard qwerty keyboard, so languages that can be written with English letters would work, but languages that have other characters would probably be problematic. I suggest writing to Cellulon and requesting a keyboard version for the desired language.
