Guys !
a new version of SEUS has been released today.
Now it doesn't just update the firwmare like before, it totally re-flashes the phone, like davinci and other.
So you'll loose all your settings and data, but it can be a free and fast method to un-BROD your K850i !

Motorola V9 (or V8) are really sleek and sexy.
What they don't have are camera or functionalities like S.E. or Nokai.
Right now I'm sticking with my K850 until the iphone 3G gets to my country.
I will do the firmware update since this unit is covered by warranty (less than one month old).
I will report about any issue.

I am not going to buy an SE phone until it is 5-6 months from its date of launch. That way I can make sure I won't run into any funky stuff with the phone and let others report on how good the phone is.
yeah right 
In that time SE would have announced their next new phone and you'll want that |

Hi to you guys i can confirm that sony ericsson update service really re flashes the whole firmware, I updated a friend of mine phone and after the process i realised it was a totally a fresh install all data was gone down to the phone book entrys are deleted, i thing this a step in the right direction after all some body from sony have been reading the threads .........so for you people with the BROD issues feel free to go reflash on sony site and save some money from davinci and others'''
And to you guys who love sony phones I understand how you feel because i have never used any other brand since cell phone was launch to the world I just simply love the phones ... |

Is it really a total reflash? Just like Davinci or KulanKendi?
So you have all default content back although you have deleted it? |

Theres no new firmware nor is ther a full re-flash like the 2 people said above. The latest firmware is still R1F and it updates the same way as before. Why some of you people gotta talk bull u dont even understand.

sorry but the newest SEUS version does what was said above.
if theres no new update, it gives you the option to continue anyway. it deletes all user settings etc etc. just like a reflash. i was going to do it this morning. but chose not to.

For me it didnīt erase anything. It showed I already had the latest firmware, and it showed a warning telling me to backup my stuff, but the "continue anyway" option didn't erase my filesystem. |

One month ago: Your data such as contacts, messages, apps etc will remain the same...
NOW: Please backup your data, because it will be lost during flashing.
Meaning Full Flashing
But still don't know whether BRODed phone can be cured like KulanKendi or DaVinci. . .
Look at red boxes:
