Strange firmware upgrade experience |

I took my P800 to the  Service Point the other day for a software upgrade. I had R2D and I asked the guy what the latest they had was and he said R5D. Surprised, I decided to leave the phone anyway and see what would happen.
I go back 3 hours later to pick it up, he says it's done.
I take the phone. First thing I do is check the version and it still says R2D so I thought nothing was done to it. After using the phone for a few days, I notice the following:
1. It is much faster
2. New features
a) SMS delivery report (that actually works)
b) More features in Communicam and better picture quality
c) Faster Pictures application when viewing pictures and also different views and multiple selections, etc
d) The Applications list in flip closed mode seems to have changed because Connections was number 9 but now it is 0 (10) - Im not sure what changed in the list but something has!
I am still discovering as I go along but there's definitely been a positive change. My question is this: Based on all the above and the fact that the version still says R2D as before, what happened to my phone and what version do I have now? Any help please.
Thanks

No - I know for sure that I had R2D before because I took it for an upgrade from R1D an earlier time. I check the software version everytime before leaving it at the Service Point but this time the version was the same before and after. I also know for sure that I didn't have any of the features I listed before taking it in. Another thing is that the guy at checks it before taking it in - he would have told me if I didn't need it - why would he bother with a free service??

Ok, so is R2D the latest firmware for the UK. What are the features of R2F that R2D doesn't have? |
