1st. Hi to everybody here. Just to clear some of Graviton questions. I am myself using EX1000 monitors and to be honest there is a major difference between EU and JP F series walkman paired with them. I doubt Sony has checked that before releasing F series here in Europe at all.
2nd. Another thing DO NOT TRY to load firmware from different location to your device. I bought mine F807 64GB in JP and when got back to UK and connected to my home network just to play with I've received notification about firmware upgrade. Well obviously went for it and after all it failed and turned my device off. I've managed to turn it back to life by pressing little reset thing at the back. Unfortunately firmware is still 1.01, the serial number on device has got lost, there is volume cap now on and so on... Contacted support centre UK and was told to use JP firmware. Tried that but it does not see my device (followed all steps from instruction) - I can still access walkman through MyComputer so it's not faulty USB. Tested that on different PCs with different OS, no joy. Went to JP couple weeks ago and was told that because SN is gone they can't help me... WTH is wrong with Sony nowadays? Spent over 500quid on hardware with Sony logo on it and can't get simple help and solution. It was not my fault that device has loaded wrong firmware, this should be sorted by sony programmers. This is why you lose your customers Sony as the name does not work anymore.
3rd. Yes, JP version of F series has English languade on board. And tell you what Graviton if I won't solve all mentioned issues you can have my device for half price included IEMs (MDR-EX1000 boxed etc.) as I'm fed up of Sony staff by now and lack of help from them.
