There's plenty of new and unused syncstations Dss-20 and Dss-25 on Ebay. They start at £8.99 and up to £10.99 + p&p! |

Sorry chaps,
But on my SIM FREE Dubai..straight from Sony Ericsson I get at the end an error message telling me that there are no updates for my operator.....you have to run the whole thing in AUTOMODE , unlike the P900 where you do all that manual stuff...I even tried recovery mode but ...same result...guess we just have to wait for it to become PUBLIC.... |

| Does anyone know if the Syncstation + update works with an Apple Computer?
I doubt it does, as it isn't listed in the requirements, but just in case it does... |
|
Well?

Regarding the Mac, run Virtual PC. The sync station is USB, I have done similar PC tasks that use I/O and PC drivers, all without hitch. I'm about to order the DSS-25 and try the update this way - I'll post back.
An earlier question that was left unanswered intrigues me (I have a Hong Kong phone, Eng/Asian) - do you have to upgrade to the same firmware or can you select (to change languages)?
My guess is that it's fully auto and SE software selects, but maybe someone can get somewhere with this. I have to send my HK phone for firmware update to change languages, would be great to do that this way.

a standard USB cable to my knowledge is not a synchronizing device, hence I suspect it would not work.

I just downloaded the software for synchronizing and started it...
Starting the update, the message was: "Do NOT remove the device or interrupt the update in any way"
and then, it crashed with the following message: "Error in communication with the device"!
It restarts my K700, so it ask me my PIN...
Too bad! Need some fixes... |

Yeah, stop ignoring my questions. 
1) Anyone know if SE HK (or some other region) phones can be firmware updated to any language pack firmware?
2) Does SE publish a changelog on the differences between subsequent firmware versions?

From the FAQ:
"What should I do if an update fails?
If the device is operational you should perform the update from the beginning. In the unlikely event that the device is non-operational you should perform the update in recovery mode. If the device is still non-operational it should be handed in at your nearest service location. "
I'd guess it's better for to wait for public release. Btw how did Dovern find the link. Lucky guess?
