What does it mean to flash and why do you need to do it? Also, why do you need firmware updates for your phone? |

flashing means to upload a new fw in your fone. the brands release usually new fw to manage former bugs in the older versions, sometimes those cannot be recognized at usage. but there are ( could be ) common problems in a fw, so its a must to release a new one. unfortunately now a days the testing of a new fone isnt so precise as in the past, therefore the often upgrades. se let it to flash some of their models at the support site, so u can can do it on your own aswell, at home with your pc. years ago it was impossible, but once the brands had way better support.

so flashing is just upgrading your firmware? And the firmware for w800i is on the SE home page? |

when you got a sony ericsson center, do you have to pay them for them to upgrade your firmware? |
