How long should it take?
Mine said it was downloading update & now on screen saying Updating Software Do Not Touch The Phone.
No progress bar or anything (like P910i) and phone looks as though its off?
Scratch that! It just displayed Update Completed 
See what I've got

so do i need to backup before update - i.e. do i lose my themes etc which are on my phone etc? or does it not take anything off?
also, anyone noticed a great improvement since updating?! |

All went well & now on R3B01. I did backup, just this minutes finished restore.
Backup not quite as I expected as the Shortcut menu has reset and I've had to re-install applications to show again.
I had to re-install TomTom on the memory card and my DocumentsToGo didn't show on the phone even in uninstall section so had to reinstall. Strange as Mobipocket, OperaMini & HandySafe still showing OK.
Bonded BT devices not showing so had to re-establish after restoring backup.
Web launching is much faster.

@Jah thanks mate for the tips but dont you have to re-do contacts and text messages, call info, desktop settings etc...
bit of a mission re-inputting all that?
i found the SE backup very easy and even my previous calls show up.
thanks anyway.
the new Voda Firmware has ironed out most of my issues so far as i said before the sound is alot clearer and louder than before... nice
my P990i has now turned to gold!!!  |

Certainly feels quicker in operation.
So glad I haven't had to send it away for updating. Hopefully VF will continue to use SEUS now. |

I'm amazed, after spending an hour on the phone to vodafone just for them to send my a bag to send mine in for a FW update, and yesterday spent a while on the phone to SE support telling me that I would have to sent it in for the update, and today an update, hooray!!
Now to play and see if it still plays up! |

@psikey
i reckon it's just a firewall issue or something. i'll get it working over the weekend.
so when i can eventually do my first update, what exactly should i back up ?
will i lose things such as: 3rd paty apps, messages, tasks, notes, calendar entries, contacts, any sounds or images etc stored internally ?
