Brilliant news!
They should provide regular feature upgrades to more phones.
It would be even better if we could pick and choose from a selection of features.
How cool would that be?
I'd love to be able to upgrade the media player or audio when new versions appeared.

All I want from upgrade is :
- better camera features
- a little protection for private stuffs
- multimedia button better organized
/not like now, it pull every pic or video on screen /

Is this out already? Sorry, I wouldn't usually ask, but I'm away from home at the minute with only my Macbook so I can't check! Thanks!

"New upgrade will be available in all new C905 phones from mid-February 2009."

I just hooked my phone up to a friends computer and did the update. Everything is working well, Google Maps comes preinstalled with this update, and can be found within the Location Services menu. I am on a generic western europe firmware.
EDIT: This is wrong information.. Sorry!

I fear I might have got carried away. Just checked it all and it seems that I don't have the new version. In saying that though, when I upgraded on the computer I got quite a few new options. My phone must have been more outdated than I'd imagined.
Is there a set date for the update release yet, or just "mid-february"?
Sorry!

I've been trying to figure out the SMS/MMS conversation style, can anyone help me out on how to switch between the generic inbox and conversation style?
Thanks in advance

@SuperLeeds
Good Question Dude...is it out yet??!
FOTA is not an option for me here in Nihongo, Orange will Kill me on Data Charges - so SEUS is only Option!
Posted by golemsmate

And the update should be small look up fota on the internet it explains how its a really small file by just replacing the changed code not the whole thing (like sues)

Posted by superleeds27
about 8AM.
Retried the FOTA, said no update avilabale!
Posted by Freeak
For my Adriatic Phone also: No new FW!
Posted by superleeds27
It would be helpful if the users who have updated, gave us some details
Posted by golemsmate
superleeds they've probably just updated from 38 to 42 because they cant switch to the new chat style thing
wait for someone knowledgable to update
Posted by Freeak
I also want to know what the name of the new FW is?
Posted by superleeds27
True.
Wish SE Would hurry Up. Sick of all the constant crashing, restarting.
Does it like 5-10 times a day, might reflash with 42 anyway later today, if the newer isn't out!

R1DAO32 - sourced from Tranced
Posted by se_dude
Well the new firmware is R1DA42 and the present ones are R1BA42. So a few people have got their updates.
Posted by superleeds27
Intresting. Any ideas which regions?
Posted by yea g
For all you guys that want it, my cda is 1208-0531. (hong kong) Note: you will only get english and chinease and the default is chinease.
Posted by golemsmate
@ yea g
have u updated ur firmware then??
Posted by yea g
Yes. I have tested the smile shutter and it works well! Havn't tested gps yet though.
Posted by se_dude
@yea g-you have wayfinder 8??Conversation??
Posted by vegetaleb
What about the new SMS chatting?
Menu is faster?
Wifi reception?
Posted by yea g
Wayfinder 8 - No I got wayfinder 7
Wifi reception - No worse (or better for that matter) than before, but its still got about the same range as psp
SMS chatting - Dunno how you actually get on to that.
Posted by superleeds27
Gunna see what he says about how the new firmware goes.
Might change CDA to Hong-Kong, and then choos English.
Would this caus a problem at all?
Posted by yea g
Nah no problems at all, except that the preinstalled games' names are in chinease (that actual game isn't, just the name)
Posted by superleeds27
ahh. Might wait then.
Wish SE would get a move on!
Wonder why HK area get it first...
nothing for Western Europe on SEUS + FOTA @ 11:30
Posted by vegetaleb
Mmmm it seems this is not the long awaited FW upgrade!
Wayfinder7 and no sms chat?
perhaps SE as usual will delay for 2 months the real upgrade
Posted by superleeds27
It is the Update:
As Smile detection is addd into the Phone on R1DA032.
Smile detection wasn't available before this...
