I am sorry to hear that Diabu. The R1EA033 firmware was finally available for my handset last friday, and I updated it hoping to fix the monstrous battery drain since updating to R1EA030 firmware.
After using the firmware for almost 3 full days (Friday 9am unplugged from charger, sat, sun, mon 2am as I am typing this review), my battery now is only down to 50%! When I was on R1EA030 firmware, the battery would already be dead well before this time. There seems to be a 50% improvement in standby battery performance, and I was using my phone more than usual since it was the weekend.
From my experience, the R1EA033 firmware not only give the W910i better standby battery performance (loses about 5% every 8 hours instead of 10% on R1EA030), but also less power leakage when you are using the phone for general tasks (browsing contacts, organizing songs...etc).
I am glad R1EA033 reduced the battery drain of the phone, but I hope SE's next firmware will be a balanced solution of battery/performance/stability. Thanks to HiVolt for recommending the R1EA033 firmware upgrade, I will report back if there are any performance issues/bugs.

Well i took the leap and De branded my T-mobile handset from DA038. I am now on R1ea033. So far I'm glad i did. However one thing that i have noticed is that on some java games, when i hit the end call key to kill the app, the system hangs and is unresponsive, however the game is still running in the background, anyone else finding this?

well battery life has improved but reboots are still there- sometimes this phone freezes (unresponsive) for about 5 to 10 seconds.. |

Virgin Tech's have just finished installing Broadband in my house now and I've just looked on SEUS and 033 is also available for the 2 white W910's that I have.
Took 20 seconds to download and is nearly finished updating already 
I tried sniffing coke once but didnt like it. The bubbles kept going up my nose  |

Oblivion,
that happened to me with the original free firmware my white w910 came with 033HK customized.
I'll see to it now.
At first I was afraid it was a faulty w910.
EDited: it hasn't happened so far, I'll keep you informed

Once when I removed my M2 MemoryCard and put it back in, the phone tells me after 5 still that there is no card inserted, wether i want to listen too Playlists in Walkman player or when trying too access it through the filemanager, then had to restart it so that it would finally detect the card.
This only happened once to me though !

So far i've noticed one thing.
If i set a theme which is saved on my memory card (eg.O2's theme) and turn the phone off and back one again.I have to set the theme again as the phone loads up the Walkman theme instead (which is saved in the phones memory) I've also tried moving the theme over to the phone memory but still get the same thing happen.

It seems as though to main optimisation to the media engine that is instantly noticeable is that the halo/flying dots, do not load until the list are buffered considerably. at least it works. On DA038 with just over 2000 songs it was crawling. However now with the optimisation it now running as smooth as a w850i taking the same card. Also the bass levels seemed to have increased considerably.
Shame about my java bug though, It is highly irritating.

I'm Vodafone Ireland and I can't get it. It took nearly 3 months for the 030 firmware to appear, so I'm expecting 033 to appear around July or August sometime...  |

Most recent firmware update is still quite slow and laggy. Especially if you have the music player running in the background. |

So, basically, the Battery problem is the only thing fixed! |
