"R1DA039
- '3' network branded version of R1DA038 "
It's been around for a while, but the first page was only updated yesterday. It is literally a 3-branded firmware, so nothing to get excited about.
I have 3 branded version, but no update is showing for me when I use SEUS. It says my software is up to date yet it isn't. Are you sure this available for 3 uk customers? |

I have sent a email to Sony Ericsson asking them when the new firmware will be available and telling them about all of our issues...I will post the reply here when it arrives. If they do not give me a good reply I will phone them. |

@ Mizzle;
1> Are you male or female? It doesn't matter to any of us, it just makes it simpler to refer to you in the correct context (him/her) hehe.
2> Curious, as to why Rogers Wireless in Canada has higher firmware version than O2 and its Rogers maden release of the K850i which began officially last week Monday.

Prom1,
Male. Btw, the new firmware wasn't 10 MB larger, it was 18 MB larger than the current one (43 MB vs 61 MB).

Thanks man. That is not cool then, as we on Rogers Branding loose precious phone memory: however at least we can save emails/SMS/MMS to the M2 card now  .
I have a particular question now - I'm not sure you can answer it or if anyone can. Some background first. Rogers Wireless just launched Unlimited On-Device data for surfing for mobile phones. This K850i & the LG Shine Red model are the only 2 new models launched since this has gone official on February 8TH. This does NOT allow us to use Email, IM apps, or BT/USB Tethering - which royally sucks but hey at least I can surf unlimited. One SPECIFIC caveat is that any 3rd party apps that use the data APN (used for unlimited surfing - apn: goam.com) such as Opera Mini will result in data charges - since Rogers clearly states this on their site.
My Question is: Can a provider have the NetFront OEM browser on a SE phone (K850i uses NetFront 3.4) to send the IMEI to the network towers? ROgers also implemented IMEI check - to ensure only Rogers Wireless branded phones are allowed for unlimited data; an unlocked factory issued SE K850i or other phone not Rogers purchased will result in data charges; not eligible for unlt'd data surfing.
