Brand new c905 wont charge! "Use original battery!"

Symptoms:

Phone wont charge. right off the box. Says "Battery cannot be charged, please use a Sony Ericsson Battery"

It IS a sony ericsson battery.

It IS a sony ericsson charger.

Everything came out of the box.

I just opened it, and first thing I did was plug it into the wall.

Now, I have installed the update service, tells me phone is up to date (downloaded straight from sonyericsson.com)

I have installed Phone suite 6.01; tried a repair phone, aborts with an error when it comes to the update service (right after the remove batery, press C while connecting phone part).

Also same thing with car charger.

What now? Pray? Do a rain dance? Murder the seller?
