Hi tranxene,
just one quick question what network is your phone on or is it sim free as in no network branding, as the only only reason i can think for you not being able to update is if it comes from a network who has not as yet approved the update otherwise it makes no sense.

It's R9A002 the latest. But I think you should try a service centre rather than SEUS. They can flash your phone anyway no matterwhat you have on your phone.

@drich - just because a phone is not uk cda doesn't mean that it has qwertz.

i can't upgrade my phone either. there's no branding or network locks here in the UAE(absolutely sim-free) but SEUS says it has the latest version. My phone is obviously not from the uk but is set with qwerty keyboard.

I believe that the upgrade from SEUS for the mid east region is yet to be released probably in a few days/weeks time.

Went to my service centre however they couldn't confirm whether they have the latest version since emma servers doesn't post the firmware version until the update is finished(that's what the technician said). i didn't want to wait for a an hour without a phone then later find out that my firmware was flashed with the same version that i had and lose all my phone's contents(mac and m600 doesn't get along with each other).

Hehe i thought i was the only one who can't upgrade to the latest firmware. well, i guess we have to wait for the release of the new firmware here in asia.
i hope they will release it ASAP because i'm not enjoying using my BUGGY PHONE.

hey skrue pls update me if you managed to upgrade your phone ok?
thanks a lot C:
