asia pacific versions, especially those with chinese language availability, often don't offer multi-character search so this is a welcome addition. |

Multiple character phonebook search? I've had 3 different revisions of firmware on my W900 and they've all had that feature. (IIRC I've had R5AC, R5AF and now R5BB). Haven't found this newer version yet.

The previous Asia Pacific firmware does not have multiple character phone book search, and was only available the first time in R5BB.
Can anyone else post their camera versions?
Mine's as follows:
R5BC004
Camera version: 2.8
Video call camera version: 2.8
Heard from another forummer that my camera version is of the old R5AF's, and R5BB has already got camera versions of 2.9.

I sent my phone to the SC to have them flash it for me instead.
So now my firmware is R5BC004, with both camera and video call camera version 2.9 
Thanks guys.

Hi
Just thought I would post my benchmarks for the new firmware on my w900i debranded from Vodafone.
FIRMWARE: R5BC004
JBenchmark: 2295
Text:610
2d Shapes: 519
3d Shapes: 307
Fill Rate: 141
Animation: 718
JBenchmark 2: 190
Image manipulation: 185
Text: 764
Sprites: 208
3D Transform: 36
User Interface: 26
JBenchmark 3D HQ: 234
JBenchmark 3D LQ: 621
Triangles ps: 54777
KTexels ps: 4611
I would be very interested to see other people's benchmark results for other firmware's.
True, the phone seems to operate faster than R5BB, the gifs seem to animate a little smoother too. With regards to the camera it seems a little noisier in low light conditions than with R5BB - but this may be subjective.
Below is a dump of the software info page:
prgCXC1250057_GENERIC_SA R5BC004
EROM: R2B001
prgCXC1250188_EROM_DB2000_SAKURA_FOTA_FLAFLA
LCD SW versions
Main display
Current: 200211260
Camera SW versions
Camera Current: 2.9
Video Call Camera Current: 2.9
ITP SW version
CXC 125 0038 R1F
Customization
CDA102418/10 R6A cxc1250058 R5BC004 1E0W EUROPE_2
Content version
PA21
Java SW version
6.3
Update service SW UA version:

SE REALLY need to get their act together. I 'upgraded' to W900i, but prefer navigating around my K750i as it is MUCH faster to operate. Surely SE can do something about this and use the goforce chip to accelerate the UI.
I've got a japanese handset, the SO505is. Although the fone is a few years old, it has possibly one of the best interfaces I have ever had the pleasure of using. The control mechanism is a combined jog dial with d-pad, an absolutely brilliant bit of engineering. The W900i SHOULD have had this with the UI that came on that fone. The speed of navigating, with the crazy animations was so brilliant.

I don't know where and how to find the firmware update for W900i. For the other models it is OK, but is it unavailable for W900i?

I downloaded the new r5bc004 last night,it took 30 min then showed me a ''failure'' message on the PC,somehow the W900 restarted normally and with the r5bc004,SE should check up quickly this problem,anyway thanks God it worked despite the failure message.
what I found till now:
-Faster wap
-SE browser can now show larger images
-Menu still at the same speed
-We still can't use SWF(NEVER listen to a SE advertising) |

What about your camera version? Is it 2.8 or 2.9?

Is the "Delete All" option for text messages any faster in R5BC than R5BB? Deleting even 10 or so texts in R5BB takes a surprisingly long time, somewhere in the region of about 2/3 second per message. Previous firmwares were a lot quicker.
