Ok..I decided to get a Sync Station later, seem like all new and future SE phones can do online firmware update, its worth to buy one.
In case anyone of you dont know what Sync Station is, here are the pictures for you.

Do you think this will work via the USB connection on the S700i? |

you can use the DSS-20 and DSS-25 as standard USB cables to transfer data and sync etc and going through the firmware update procedure it specifies that you need one of these in order to do the firmware update and you have to tick a check box confirming you have one connected
@vlam, there is a new firmware R2E011 available in the last few days
lets hope by the time I try this on friday it works
just out of interest, has anyone tried with a K700 from honk kong?

It might be that the current FW in the phones doesn't support this yet. Maybe we need a "ordinary" fw-upgrade before this online-service is implemented in the phone. Just a thought, I might be wrong! |

Do you really have to buy a syncstation, isn't there a way to sync the k700 with a bluetooth dongle to update your firmware?
I just bought my dongle, should have bought a syncstation instead...
Grrrrrrrrrrrr..........

Wouldn't that be a lot of backwards reasoning by  ?
Nope, that's gotta b the wrong answer.... that just can't be right!
Nope... I'm still going with my first hunch.... online but not 'ready for the end user'

mrb18:
Why can not the device be updated via Bluetooth or Infrared?
The update service updates the entire software, including for instance Bluetooth. This makes it impossible to use Bluetooth or Infrared as media for device software updates.

1) Assuming this online firmware update thing eventually works ... if I bought an unbranded SE in HK, do i have to keep installing HK firmware versions or can I install any firmware?
2) Does SE provide a changelog of what has been changed in new firmware versions?

Just read in SE faq:

Gotta by a syncstation then...
You just beat me to it @dovern

It's never really a good idea to upgrade wire-less products via bluetooth or infrared, because it causes to much problems. All wire-less
products need to be upgraded with wire-connections to pc and so on. I know someone who tried upgrading their wireless-lan without connecting it to the pc, and it died on them. |

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...
