Well having read all this, I think I'll just stick to my R2B firmware. Afterall the new releases dont improve the phone that much. Also upgrading my CK3000 is out of the question (hoped I could do it just using a BT dongle). Parrot had this to say:
Hello ERike,
The flash kit costs 53.36€ VAT excluded.
To ship it to South Africa, we'd have to send it by Fedex.
The cost is 51,60€

Hmmm 51.60 Euros just for shipping!!!!!! That is ludicrous. Disadvantages of living so far from other techie countries. *sigh* Anyhow... i'll just stick with the current config until someone can tell me SE released firmware that fixes the incompatibilities with CK3000.

Here is the official word from Parrot regarding word spotting and T68i
Hello MArk,
The latest SW 2.40 does use the wordspotting with the former mobiles like T39 and T68.
For the T68i, the wordspotiing could not be supported,
However, we'll make the possible to have it back because we know how important it is or the CK3000 users,
Best Regards,

So I guess they will eventually support it but when is the question. |

Does the caller id function also works with v2.40 again (if someone calls you your own voicesample of his name is played back)? And can you use the 'work'/'mobile'/'GSM' feature of the adressbook? Because the way you describe it it seams to me that you cannot use the Parrot menu and this is needed to use these feature. |

I do know that with V2.40 on the CK3000 it does support Work, Mobile etc. I am not to sure about caller id announcment. I'll check it here in a bit and repost.

Has anyone used the T69i and CK300 combination in the US? Any problems? I have the T68i and am thinking of getting the CK300.
If you are in the US and have this setup, where did you get the CK300 from? I know i can order it from expansys but my last few orders took forever to ship even though it was in stock so am not too happy with them

Personally if I could do it over I would get the Ericsson HCB-30. The CK3000 is having issues with Spot Wording at this time. They claim they are working on it but do not have a fix date. |

T68i vR5A020 with PARROT CK v2.4
The Parrot free hand has 2 weeks old. The function of Voice Dialling works perfect; I can dial with the previous record voice of my T68i.
The sound through the speakers car is very clear and when I speak the voice is similar that speaking with the phone.
Only I have a little problem. It's the contacts of the Parrot phone book; the synchronization doesn't work correctly, but however I use the voice dialling of the T68i, I don't need use it. |

Yes it does work for voice dialing, however one of the advertised benefits were voice answering, busy etc. it still does NOT support this. I just ordered the Ericsson solution, I should have waited for it to come out.
Anyone in USA want to purchase a used CK3000 have manual etc. |

Well, I have a new Parrot CK3000, from expansys, who despite me putting a note on the order that I need 2.4 firmware sent me one with 2.32 
Called  before I ordered all this, they said, bluetooth car kit would work fine, but R2Bxx was old code and I needed the latest on my T68, so I now have R6A013! as of last Wednesday.
I can confirm this does not work reliably with 2.32, it took me 5 attempts to get it paired with the T68, and it sometimes works, sometimes does not connet. Voice dial does not work, and I clearly need 2.4.
I am trying to get 2.4 on the parrot now, expansys are trying to shug all responsiblity for shipping me old stock (despite me putting the request ON MY ORDER!) so I will have to see. 56Euros is steep for serial cable though 
Waiting for email back from parrot to see what they have to say. Can't go HCB-30, becuase I want to use it with my Nokia 6310i company phone as well, which is why I bought a parrot, becuase Expansys website says it works with both
Oh well, we wait, anyone else got R6 working with 2.4 out there? |

You can get an update cable from http://www.mobiland.co.uk for £11 + p&p. I've not used it as yet, but I've ordered one with my order of a CK3000, so I'll let you know how it works when I use it to update the car kit.
Speaking to the person at Mobiland - he said that V3 of the CK3000 was due to be released some time this week, however he's not sure whether this will cover the problems with the T68i as the update was more focused on the P800.
I've just gone back to my T68i (recently been using an SPV - but it was pretty shit), and the firmware it reports is R2E006. What's the latest firmware on the scene? Is it a lot quicker? What benefits are there? I realise that if I get it updated I will have probs with the CK3000 - so I doubt I'll get it flashed until I hear that V3 of the Parrot software will suipport the latest T68i fully.

Ok... recently got myself a P800. Can anyone tell me if the latest version of the Parrot software works with the P800 ?? Cos 2.20 doesn't have voice dialling (only through the phone) or wordspotting.
Thanks
