Well. I can report that not a lot seems to have changed!  . I guess that its just a speed and stability update. FW version is now: R3DA028
Hopefully this should stop the random restarts, the only problem i've faced with this handset. Even though it would have been nice to have the LED have a function, or be able to set what the outer display defaults to.
We can live in hope!

OK!
After two days of the update;
I have noticed the battery life has gone better along with the speed and volume through the earphones of the player has increased but the phone has hanged two times during multitasking and I have to remove the battery. It wasn't a restart.
I'll see if the phone hangs again i'll do a master reset but I am afraid it will wipe out my music just like it did after the update. But if the problem persist I'll update it again. After all what else I can do.
I shouldn't have gone for the update in first place but atleast SE should release some release notes before the updates that what kind of bugs can be fixed and what improvement will it make. Shouldn't they?

Up to now, these are some slight bugs that I encounter:
- Random reboot. Hm, normal stuff, it's not often, around 1 or 2 times a week. But it always happen when I play some music, strange though.
- Sometimes the shortcut button is not working, this is often happens. To solve it just do a soft reset. The weird thing is the button is still responding in service menu.
- Manual equalizer cannot be saved, found in early firmware of W910 and K850.
That's it, hope the next firmware solves it

The change log is usually kept a secret(Nokia, SE ), but there are chances you could find them leaked on the net.

Streaming audio (such as 3Music) stops when the flip is closed.
Is there a remedy against this annoying flaw?
You can do this on older SE flip/clamshell phones.

New Bugs !
Very strange bug !!
1. When i am transmitting music through FM transmitter and try to >> jump over some songs in the Playlist, the phone get crash and i have to remove the battery.
Firmware is the latest one !! it wasn't that bad before with earlier firmware!
2. Sometimes the Short-Cut button doesn't work and a phone restart is required.
3. Nothing about stability or faster menus are noticed in the new firmware at all. |

Hi,
This LED indicator is only workable when your battery life is below 10% ! |

I have no problem with these things. Did you do a master rest when you upgraded to the last firmware, dunno if that help..
seems it's very strange..
