just a quick "Q" for you really.......i just got a k800i on vodafone (uk), i hear a lot of stories/posts in forums about k800s failing while relatively new........iis this just a certain batch of k800s, or are all k800 owners at risk??

as far as i know,most K800's died because of their old EROM version.You can see EROM version by pressing >*<<*<* in your keypad(>< are the directions of joystick).If your EROM version is R3A011 then you must upgrade it in order not to die your K800!The newest EROM version is R3A016.You can update it from www.wotanserver.com.Download the program,run it and press Start.Then,connect the USB cable to your phone while pressing simultaneously 2 & 5 keys.Your EROM version will then be R3A016.There is no charge for this.Sony ERicsson Update Service doesn't update your EROM,so the only way of doing it is WotanServer unless you can visit a service center!Some K800's also have a newer EROM version,R3A022,but i don't know if we will be able to update our EROMs in this verion.I don't know if this is a hardware or a software change!

I'm not too sure about branded vs unbranded K800i's and whether or not branded ones are more susceptible to failing, but if you have a branded K800i, I strongly suggest you pay and unbrand your phone while you're at it. There are many limitations with branded phones

There's nothing wrong with having that EROM is there? lol. It's supposedly the newest.
