You shouldn't need to send the phone away.
There are two things you need to do:
1. Update the phone, using the Sony Ericsson update serrvice. The link follows. You will have to add your settings back afterwards, and you might have to re-install any apps, but you'll be so happy to have your phone back again that you really won't mind too much.

2. Keep the phone away from your friend.
