You're fortunate where you are. In order to get an R900 with a warranty
valid in the US, I had
(1) to buy a bundle that includes a Xitel DG-1, for which I have no use;
(2) to take the model in red, red, red, red, or if I begged for special
privileges, red;
(3) to get, instead of an included case that goes around a belt or through a
belt loop, a mail-back offer [meaning I supply the envelope, the postage,
and the waiting time until it arrives] for a free armband case (under the
assumption that I will use it in a skateboard park, wearing shorts with no
belt loops, rather than in venues and attire common for my age), on which I
had to select "small" or "large" with no information about the dimensions.
The phone number on the offer ("for redemption status only," but I called
anyway in hope they'd tell me where else to find out; as it turned out,
they handled my question) reached someone who told me her instructions were
to advise women to buy the small and men the large and that they
are adjustable (but how adjustable, from what starting point?).
And Sony scratch their heads why MD does so poorly here. Treating something
as a lost cause usually is a self-fulfilling prophecy.
