Thank you - I have finally worked out how to do connect the phone to my PC using wi-fi, but it is very unstable and slow, plus as far as I can ascertain you have to physically connect the phone and then hope that the PC can pik it up. The 'media go' platform is nowhere near as good as Nokia Suite - they need to really do some work on this to make it more user-friendly.
I spent about an hour earlier trying to transfer the new pictures from my phone (that is another area where the N8 wins more than hands down) but I still haven't figured it out 
What would be great if it could just find the pitures and then automatically download them into a folder that corresponds to the month in which the photo was taken like all my others over the past two years. I think it started transferring, but then it gave up. Even when I attached it by USB it didn't help ...

The trouble with the explorer option is that I still have to hook it up with a wire - in wireless mode I followed instructions that I found, i.e. go to xperia, connectivity settings, then I can see my PC in the 'trusted devices' section, but my phone isn't showing up on windows explorer on my PC.
I had a look through that unrelated topic, but it just seems to consist of angry shouting in red, ice cream and jellybeans which made little sense to me 
Basically what would be really great if a developer is watching is (as mentioned above) for the two machines to be able to contact each other automatically when they are both on and to synchronise the pictures into a folder. Is it also possible to get the phone to name the pictures with a filename that incorporates the date?
Maybe all of this is possible, but the information as to how to do it is elusive. I am sure somebody will say 'there's an app for that' but this sort of thing should be a basic feature
I'm sorry if I sound a bit dim, but after having had this phone (Xperia T) for a month I am now officially in mourning for my good old N8 I would just like to have at least some of its good features on this one.
Thank you for your help

Aha - just as I thought - there's an app for that Do you have any recommendations as I haven't the foggiest where to start? As I said above, this sort of thing should be installed as standard (at least one that works).
I have sort of resigned myself to the fact that it just isn't up to the same standard - if only the 808 pureview had been available on contract in the UK ... but no use crying over spilt milk, I'll have to make the most of a bad lot. I'm just glad I didn't get an ipod phone - my sister has a macintosh which I had the misfortune to use recently in an emergency, and it nearly ended up out of the window. From what I have seen of the ipod phone it is even more fiendlishly complicated - they call it 'intuitive', which is certainly a good description as intuitive is, after all, a close bedfellow of 'illogical' (obtained through intuition rather than from reasoning or observation).
From what I can work out, android seems to be good if you are a techie and know what you are doing, but for plain old ease of use, the old Nokia system (?symbian) is the one to go for, if available.
Even so, I reckon 95% of users will only use about 1% of its features - but I suppose that goes for most technology.
Thank you for your help - I can see that you are a fan of the android system, so I apologise for my ramblings
One other thing - how do I get the battery to last longer than 4 hours? I could get one of those portable charger things that they sell in Maplins, but it is a bit cumbersome.

I don't believe that 95% and 1%, show me the facts
symbian is dead, you don't need any of those apps nor some program on your pc to sync your phone, you can use google to sync everything, so everything you do will be on the clouds, that's a lot easier, don't you think?
use google voice for calls, txt from any computer or your phone
google music, upload all your music to the clouds and play them on your phone or any computer
google docs, google drive, google plus (pictures and videos) etc etc
after all this is a google OS
