I notice today the Sony Ericsson Support > Update Service page now includes the W880i.
I have succesfully updated my w880i from R1C002 to R1JC002. Does anyone here know what the differences are?
thanks! |

Yup mine is a branded one - UK Vodafone. I think the last 3 numbers are refer to the branding? Not entirely sure... |

According to wotan "R1KC001 CID52" is the lates available firmware for the w880i. I only recently flashed to "R1JE001 CID51". The firmware you are discussing is about 2 versions old according to wotan.

Once my battery has charged i will flash to the latest "R1KC001 CID52" firmware and report back here, or in the w880 discussion thread. |

Well i just updated too R1Kc001 have not really noticed any difference, word of warning i had too update to CID52 this uses a login as well so the new update takes 2 logins.
Also because it is updating the CID it master resets the phone menu so everything gets wiped. First thing i noticed though after restart instead of loading up the default city beat theme it now loads up the walkman theme. Will post any other differences i find. Any questions just ask. |

Does W880i R1KC001 remove video preview as well? It does in K800i. |

my w880i randomly turns itself off, or the backlight fails to work, and the battery has to be removed :s |

hi guys,
this is really a noob question, but where can you see which firmware you have on the w880i? Mine it's branded with t-mobile. Recently bought.
I would think that firmwareversion will be on the phone status or something, but it ain't there |

it's in the settings menu. go to settings, then scroll to update service.
or you can press > * << * < * to access the service menu. |
