R1JC definately is available FOTA in UK (generic R1GB currently).
Not available on SEUS though  |

FOTA used to come later than SEUS. But now it's the other way round. Can't say why.. |

Too tempting to get it over FOTA...but it will cost me about £10 in O2's data fees

Ciao
I agree that FOTA is not usable, but the Update Over Air option is not present in my Settings menu. Is it the same for your phone?
I have a not branded k800i. |

Bugs, crashes, etc, etc... Here's the story: I started transfering some games in my k800i (more than 100) from the internal memory to the M2. When I was almost done the phone did that, well known to our community, restart (white screen etc...  ), and after that, when it started again, it immediately (without me doing anything) started applying a theme! A black theme with no pictures at all! I went to the themes folder to change it back, but there where no themes there! After restarting I finally applied my previous theme, but then discovered the worst of all: when I tried to open the games or the apps folder it said that the process failed! That was it! No access to their content! 
Don't hurry to suggest a F/W re-flash, cause after doing that the problem is still there!
So, are there still some people who insist that it's natural to have those little cute bugs in such a beautiful phone?
Can anyone suggest a solution for that problem?
I REALY love this phone, but it's starting to get on my nerves. If I wanted a phone just for making calls, I'd keep my first 10 years old one. I want a hi-tech device, but I expect from it to "tolerate" AT LEAST its natural and simple tasks (like moving files...!).
I just hope that updating to the JC (hopefuly within the following days) through SEUS will solve the problem...

I just updated my firmware on my K800i to R1GB001 and now my phone is giving me nothing but problems!!! The back light doesn't light up as bright as it did before, neither do the keys. I can go into the menu and manually change it back, but after a few seconds the stupid thing goes dark again. Furthermore, the screen is non responsive for a few seconds...it stays completely dark after pressing any key, for a few seconds, before lighting up at all!!!
Does anybody know what I can do about this??? |

I agree with you, the previous firmware gave a lot of problems. I hope the next one would make the phone more stable. We'll see when they release it on SEUS.
k800i is my first SE phone, switching from Nokia because of lesser hardrware quality and symbian instability. A really good phone, but if this firmware doesn't solve previous bug I have to consider another switch. |

Never has a problem with R1GB apart from high quality video preview crash. Perhaps it is problem of unsuccessful flashing instead of bug in R1GB itself.
Anyway R1JC still not availbale in both FOTA and SEUS for APAC. |

Maybe you're right, but I flashed the phone 4 times with the same result.
All my hopes in the post R1Gx firmware! |

Hey C3, did you take it to Barak like I suggested? I know the manager there. That is if you are in Kuwait.
By the way, I have pretty much left SE. I bought the new Nokia N800 and the E61. Combined they are a formidable platform. SE has too much Japanese influence.
