unless I am missing something it says "Oh no! 404 - page not found"
not what I might expect from a K700 online update page 
what did you see before or have you simply pasted an incorrect link?

Holy crap, that looks legit! Can someone please try it? I'm at work at the moment.
Thanks for keeping an eye out dovern, no matter how it turns out.

I have tried it. I have an unbranded K700 bought from the UK SonyEricsson eshop.
Once connected it switches off the phone and then an error appears and I am not told that my operator does not permit use of the service!!
That can't be right!! |

@JonStatt, thats what my P900 ended up doing after a few updates. SE started using the IMEI to determine the origin of the phone
is your phone branded?

aha, that is indeed good to hear! That means we can reasonably expect all future phones running  ui rather than symbian may also be home-updated 
Come on ....s700!!

Ok I started it up and downloaded the software. It seems all legit, cause like the P900 a java program opens up telling you that the phone will switch off. However after that I get a message saying that there are no service for your provider!?!?! My phone is sim free!. I am going to give it one more go now.... |

Yep I get the same message again. Maybe there is no update available at the time, but they have set up the service. Sound promising! Can anyone else try it out and see what happens? |
