 proud owner of a     800i ,     200i ,    p910i + route 66 mobile 2006  and a    hbh-600 , gave my    k800i to my girl ( enjoying my new WII and DS lite   ) |

 | 'We dont know whats wrong with your phone, take it to the repair center???'

 ....really bad....dissapointing at the very least !!!

 | I knew when i upgraded the firmware that my video was going to hell, but sorry to hear there was an apparent photo quality loss too.  Let's start spamming SE with mails and calls please... |

 | Thats a good response from SE. 
 At least they're admitting there's a problem (and that they've screwed up!) rather than just saying "your phone must be broken, take it to an SE service centre"

 And the point of annoying them after they already admitted a problem and promised a software release would be what exactly? How you lead the charge and see what they say? Can you post a copy of your email showing that you took action before Andy-rew?

 N82(YES), iPhone 3G,  Shure es530, Nikon D300, more stuff. No more SE stuff, why am I still here?

 | I calld SE today because i was having problems updating the firmware on my K750i, the guy said he doesnt recommend updating it unless my phone keeps crashing, because a new firmware update release is due very soon. He took my details and said he would call me when it is released.
 So therefore i didnt bother updating the firmware cos my fone dont crash.

 That's good news.  At least it's not months between releases... at this rate we should have a perfect phone before long.
