I just flashed my K800i R1JG001 with K810i R1KC001 firmware via Wotan Server Client. For the sake of my curiosity. It went smoothly without problem. The flash took about 6 minutes. Here are my findings:

1. The keypad light is troublesome. The light won't turn on on C button, joystick, Back button, left and right softkeys, internet browser button and Activity menu button. The first row keypad, keypad 1, 2 and 3 are dimmer in terms of backlight. Compared to K800i backlight quality, of course this conversion is dimmer. Indeed, in terms of hardware, K810i has the bluish baklight around the joystick and on left side of the body ( Photo Light or something I don't quite remember what it is). So when put in a total darkness, you know what happens. The lights are only seen on keypad row 2, 3 and 4. The row 1 is dimmer..weaker...What a disappointment. I understand it, though, it's a "fake K810i"...LOL...the designer of K810i has created this 'hardware' differences of course.
Anyway when you open the lens cover, the light is just fine on the joystick and the other buttons/softkeys around it..but the keypad row 4 gets dimmer...what a "style".

2. We won't see playing video thumbnail anymore as we find in K800i with R1JG001. When we highlight the video thumbnail, it keeps still just like ordinary jpeg picture file. No playing preview. What a disappointment, really. A step backwards...

3. No "big" improvement in PhotoFix. It indeed makes the darker picture increase in terms of contrast and brightness. I think the ordinary PhotoDJ is enough. Adobe Photoshop will do better.

3. Yes, the TrackID is there. Have no time to check, though. I don't need this feature. I am not a crazy fan of music. Music is just 20% of my life...hehe..

4. The date of firmware shows 070318.
5. Java is updated to version 7.4.
6. Update Service Agent (FOTA) is the same as K790 and K800i.
7. I tried to run SEUS. It recognised this "K810i" as K800i. Funny. It said " Update your phone. File selected APAC". You can conclude what....LOL. I wouldn't know what happen if I continued Continue...it might be turning the phone back to K800i or something...so I exited SEUS.
8. A new game pre-installed there...Extreme Snowboarding.. You'll miss PhotoQuest fishing then...LOL
9. The PC recognises it as K810. But in phone mode, no appropriate drivers are available already at the moment.

10. In conclusion, disappointing. No need to update your K800i to K810i mainly because of the above points I posted.

And finally, I flashed the phone back to K800i R1JG001 firmware. Enough for the experiment. Cheers.

Aha, that's interesting. Just wonder why. Is it because K810i isn't officially out yet, then no Blogger support yet atm. Perhaps. So, let's NOT ruin our K800i, then.

I have heard that the keyboard lights don't work after the conversion.

Hello guys!I'm from Greece!I just converted my K800i to K810i!The software version is:R1KC001,CID 52.

I noticed that there is the Track ID function under Entertainment menu and that the Java software version updated from 7.3 on K800i R1JG001 to 7.4 on this version!The conversion took only 6 minutes and went normally!

Also,the default themes changed a bit!And for sure,there is the Photo Fix function!
In the end,in Customization,at Service Menu shows R6A instead of previous R5A or R4A(don't remember exactly!)

Go update if you have a credit card!Have fun guys!

For any question,just ask me!!

Cu!!
