here is another wonderful story about the engineer suckers at lenovo.
in
august 2009 i bought a $3500 lenovo W500 with windows vista that came
with the windows 7 upgrade options (both versions ultimate 64bit). after
upgrading to 7 in spring of 2010 i discovered that my computer could no
longer send SMS text messages.
this feature has silently been
disabled (along with some 48 additional features). so what worked well
on vista no longer existed on 7.
for about half a year lenovo has
been unable to deliver a new version of access connections (the
software tool you use to connect and also send SMS messages). there were
a lot of promises, but all of them empty.
today i got a very valuable hint from another plagued lenovo user: there is a sony tool which enables the SMS feature again.
