Many people (include myself) are expecting the online update service to be launch but at this moment, the service is still not available.

I doubt anyone here can answer if its definitly going to happen.
I guess its just a waiting and hoping game to see if  give us what we want (why does that sounds familiar!)

Can't believe I've just got my K700i yesterday and the first thing I want to do I can't.
Come on don't fail us now.
Has anyone updated their O2 branded firmware online(or even in a SE service centre)?

Strange! I have a brand new camera that I did flash a few days ago, just put in the files and punch a few keys, done!
Why the heck should it be so hard to do the same with a cellular?
Stupid phonemakers.

It has been more than a month already but we still havent see SE launch the online update server for K700... probably we got no hope for this service already...sigh!

Since the update service is available for the P900, it is more likely than not that it will be available for the K700i. |

Why not for the K700i?

Ok just got back to me about the online firmware updates.
Dear Sir or Madam,
Thank you for contacting the Sony Ericsson Call Centre.
With regards to your enquiry,
They are no software upgrades available for the k700i at this time. This is a new phone. If they are any faults they will be an upgrade in the future. However we don't have a release date. For up-to-date information please check our website.
Should you require any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us again for further help and support.
Not really much to go on for people living a distance from a centre

Lol unfortunately all emails go to their customer support centre (same place you get through to if you phone them). They only know about the firmware R2A041 and have no idea that both official and unofficial service centres are putting in later releases R2E001 and R2L001...if you are lucky.
Sony did confirm to me that the online update service is still being worked on but would be available soon. |
