Don't know about battery life enhancement. Too early too tell.
Got one problem though.
Jog dial does not work up-down. Works Backward-Forward-Inward. |

just got my phone back from se service centre in hayes, MOKO.
They had it for two days and couldn't get my phone to upgrade. It was their first p800.
They said they would send it off to SE but it would take 4 weeks so have got the phone back and will hang on to it until i find a place in west london that I can take it that can get it to w |

How I got my P800 upgraded:
1. Walked to the nearest mall (10 minute walk)
2. Dropped P800 of at servicepoint
3. Had a cup of coffee and a slice of cake
4. Went back after 50 minutes, it's finished, picked it up without paying anything.
All good.  |

my SC told me they had a mail by SE on Monday saying SE dropped the Java engine of Microsoft in their browser and replaced it by another one (Sun or so?)
Too much problems with the MS one. Perhaps this is the biggest change for R2? |

i've got some questions regarding to the new firmware ;
- does the new update process delete the phones data's (phonebook, sms, settings etc) ?
- is the battery lifetime improved after firmware update?

whats the chances that anyone has a Mac out there?
Since seeing the P800 thought it would be ideal companion for my PowerBook and now I learn that iSync doesn't work and limited functionality with address book.
wanted phone to ring on PowerBook and then answer with speakerphone - not going to happen just yet - got vcfs over and everything and bluetooth fine but no connection to the SyncStation via USB - how come -anyone able to answer this? |

I got my phone upgraded today at R's Electrics, Tottenham. Be warned, unless there is "a fault with the phone" they will charge you £17.63 for the upgrade (I think they have had a lot of people just getting upgrades done for the sake of it). I got my last phone (R380) upgraded there (for free) so I was more than happy to support them.
I personally didn't mind paying, it gives you full screen pics & video and new communicam features...
It does wipe all data, but if you back up all the file structure using the P800's File Manager (copy files & folders to the memory stick then use Windows Explorer to copy them to a safe place on your PC) then you can pick specific files and copy them back to your phone after the upgrade (for example, browser bookmarks, jotter files, etc!) And of course for the rest of the data you just select a Full Synchronisation from the sync menu...
Only one thing I haven't found - the file which contains your call info data? (it would be nice to copy this back too) as I like to know how many minutes per month I use!
By the way they said it would take 3 hours for the upgrade (so if you decide to go there, go early in the day 
cheers,
Helen. |

Hiya,
I went this morning to a service centre in Pocklington and had my P800 upgraded to :
Phone : R2D
BlueTooth : R5A
Organiser : R2A16
It took about an hour and was without incident. The phone came back like it had been started up from new - apart from what was stored on the memory stick. All settings had been reset. It didn't cost me a penny.
Does anyone know how to get the GPRS settings back for Orange? It's the only thing I'm having grief about it.
Cheers
