Do not go to the Carphone - they say three days for upgrade and people even in their repair centre are so badly trained they have no idea what they are talking about. They guy in Chapel Street London - was unbelievably Rude and ignorant like he said he got his T68 done in about 90 mins - bull.... Smug GIT. They wanted three days to upgrade mine! I told him where to stick it as it is known it takes less than an hour for the upgrade.

No wonder he is a phone salesman - sh*t for brains. I have written to complain and will only continue to use them cos they are silly enough to price match 110% of the difference of the cheapest available price. Though probably subsidised by the mugs that actually pay the prices they advertise.

I went to the SonyEricsson centre in tottenham and surprise surprise it took them witha friendly face - no longer than half an hour to upgrade mine. Go there - very knowledgeable.

I went to the CPW just off Oxford Street and they said it was not a problem to update. I did not get my phone from them, and the update is free of charge. For a small fee they will even give you a temporary handset.

They told me that it would be a 5 day lead time due to high demand, though by going on that is said here I reckon that was a worse-case estimate.

well, i went to the carphone warehouse in nottingham (Broadmarsh centre store) and they did it for me within an hour. i wasn't even a customer of theirs, but they did ask me to supply a proof of purchase when i took it in. as it happens they didn't mind too much when i forgot it, they did it anyway. the upgrade itself? fantastic, i play with the phone even more now than i did when i first got it, animated screensavers, loads of background pictures and mms. now if only orange would get round to actually rolling out mms to their network i would be a most happy ericsson-ite

I got mine done on the first monday and it took an hour and a half. I got there at 4:30 and left just before 6. And that included the time it took for me to show them how to do it

I took mine to CFW in Meadowhall, Sheffield and they did it in one hour. I didnt have my receipt but they checked my details out on the computer first. Well impressed with it now, finally I can type a sms in real time!
