Normally,R2AE033 is the latest firmware version for K700i on Sony Ericsson website & service centres!But in some days service centres will have R2AL029 which is the latest version!But in some locations maybe there aren't newer software versions than R2L001 or maybe they are available only in service centres!I suggest you to go in a service centre in a few days & get it updated at R2AL029!Btw,does anyone know what are the changes on this new version of firmware?Please write them somewhere!Thanks in advance!

There are no new features or other changes in the firmware (that I have noticed). The only visual change I have seen is when opening a folder that contains pictures - it's very very fast now. With R2AE033 it took a few seconds before all the preview pictures showed up... slowly one by one... In R2AL029 there is no delay what so ever! When I open a folder containing pictures they show up instantly. Scrolling inside a folder containing lots of pictures is finally as fast as scrolling through a large addressbook!
Other than that I have found no difference between R2AE033 and R2AL029... besides the fact that my HBH-600 finally works fine now. |

What didn't work about your HBH-600 when you had R2AE003?

When an incomming call was answered by pressing the button on the headset, it took some time before the call went through - it was a delay and it disturbed me! |

Question about R2AN001...
Does this O2 specific release R2AN001 unlock the 'My Friends' feature that was previously disabled in the previous R2L001?

Is it possible for me to upgrade my firmware to R2AE033 on the SEUS site, even though my phone is an O2 branded phone?

i think o2 recently allowed it but am not 100% tho. i think you can get R2AN which fixes the o2 text bug. |

You are correct, O2 do now allow the use of the SEUS.

I've actually got the R2AN001 firmware using the SEUS, shortly after upgrading the firmware i did the finalization process using the Davinci client to get rid of the camera sound. Afterwards the camera sound could be turned off by muting, and the 'My Friends' feature was unlocked.
But because i did the Davinci client finalization process straight after, i couldn't tell whether or not the firmware upgrade itself allowed me to turn off the camera sound by muting and enable 'My Friends'.
So now i'm thinkin, if i try to upgrade my firmware again on SEUS, will i still have the 'My Friends' feature and will i still be able to mute the camera sound.
Is there anyone out there who's upgraded to the R2AN001 firmware and can tell me that this firmware unlocks the 'My Friends' and enables muting of camera?

Upgraded from ae033 to al029, but now i have just english menus.
I did like this, downloaded a cid29-cid36 firmware and did NOT choose finalize.
Then I downloaded the main software and fs-software (eu4).
All went smooth, but I lost my swedish menus?
Anyone have any hints how to get my swedish menus back?

Hi. I have a Sim-Free k700i which i use with an O2 Online Pay As You Go simcard. I experience the O2 sms bug (where txt messages often arrive extremely late) and was wondering if i upgrade my firmware from R2AE033 to the new O2 specific R2AN001, will my phone then have stupid O2 customisation, and if so, whats included in this customisation? Icons etc? The only reason why i want to change my firmware is because the new O2 specific R2AN001 fixes the sms txt messaging bug. And does anyone know if the new Sony Ericsson generic firmware R2AL001 also fixes the O2 SMS bug, obviously i'd prefer this one.
Any ideas?
