A new firmware was released today for the T610 / T630 / Z600 phones. R6C005
I havent tested them out yet. If any of you have upgraded from R4, please post your results here.
You can get your phone upgraded at any Sony Ericsson Service Point or Service Center.

Looks like they are constantly working on the firmware to make it better  I wouldnt be surprised if another one comes out again...
Many people have killed their phones by trying to upgrade the firmware themselves. They then send their phones to SE for repair. It costs SE a lot of money for the fraudulent repairs. The new firmwares are supposed to stop shops from illegally hacking the phones...

Mine was 'illegally' hacked and that the best thing i did, now i have the 'old' r6b and the special gfds that removes all predefined items, and i have lots of space. From what i learn, you can always save the phone from dying with a bad flash. But what i want to know with r6c is: if its for all three phones does that mean t610 and t610 will have my friends and vga photos like t630? And are there any further improvements in java, menu speed, amr playing, etc?

The new R6 fw. will block your phone from illegal upgrades.
All future :SE: phones will have this...
(Untill some 1 finds a way around this...)

From what i read in cellular support, thereŽs no improvement in both r6c005 and r6b021 over r6b004 
IŽll stick with r6b004 till there are some real changes... |

Just so you know, they already have. The SE Fighter support team has cracked and patched the new FW so that it doesn't activate the part of the phone that will prevent you from hacking your phone. 
MyPhoneExplorer is the new FMA!  http://www.fjsoft.at/en/downloads.php |

People who purchase phones with the newer firmware are not be able to get these cracked softwares installed.
A patched firmware would be a workaround, and would definately void your warranty. Its your phone, do what you like with it. If you break it, please dont be dishonest by sending it back to Sony Ericsson or returning it to the store. This costs both the store and SE a lot of money. Increased prices are sure to result.
Many stores send me phones that were returned to them broken by hacking into the phone. Not all damaged phones can be repaired.
