Ahhhh! They left out the phone SIM card I bet. I never thought about that. The 900 would have been easy to open and insert one, but the 950 is not capable of being opened, so they have to send out replacements. Well that confirms my theory that there had to be some sort of non-firmware issue.
So sony tried to save a few pennies by leaving out a cheap SIM card but Best Buy did their usual dummer-than-dirt routine and in the end Sony winds up paying shipping costs for perhaps dozens, if not hundreds, of replacement units. I bet Sony wishes they hadn't tried to save a few pennies now!
And perhaps next time they will remember to factor in the stupidity level of retailers.
