Speaked with a guy at my local BRAND service center. He called to the central technicians for me, and they said that the major update were in testing with my brand (tre), and it was only 1-2 weeks away. Sounds kinda promising. |

I have noticed that battery life is halfed (roughly) if you have 3G mode switched on...
I am on three, but seem to get signal with it turned off, it presumably ports onto a standard network. But I am at 68% today with reasonable useage. Normally I would be about 25%

Personally I've noticed a big improvement with 038 vs 037 - no random reboots, no crashes when accessing Gmail, etc.
I haven't noticed any particular change in battery life but have been in a fairly good reception area.
Still looking forward to the 'big' update this month!

Its been known for a while that there is new FW arriving in January.
The new fw will also fix some of the compatibility issues the K850i has with some of the recently launched accessories - e.g the MBS-100.

I fond imo big error, when i plug in te microSD card to k850 and go to the phone through usb [in mode 'phone'] I see:
- Phone Memory
&
- Memory stick [TM] (!)
but why, imo this is very confusing (I have 2 cards: microSD, M2 and both contain different files) |

Does anyone know how the number of the firmware corresponds to the importance in the timeline?? If I were the person namig each firmware I'd break it down something like the following....
e.g. R1CA029
R1 - This would be increased in index to R2 at the biggest of updates, then to R3 after etc etc. We're still on R1 which to me would indicate we've had a major update yet.
CA - This would be for when a driver has changed, but there are still some parts of the firmware still the same from the last major update e.g. the cam driver update changed this to DA on the K850
029 - this is for the smallest changes or emergency changes. like the change from 029 to 037, which fixed a few important java errors but nothing like the cam driver or the java SW version.
All of this is just how I've interpretted it, I could be wrong obviously. I'd expect the the major firmware update to be an R2????? and sometime this month. It just feels like there's still something missing.
Can anybody with insider knowledge help us out here?
