HI ALL!
Does anyone know, about any place on the net, or any shops (in london), which are selling the SE K700 sim-free with R2L Firmware?

Thanks a lot guys!

Much like Windows on your PC, the operating system ('firmware') of your mobile phone is upgradable. Upgrading can fix bugs, improve performance (ie. of battery life), etc.

R2L (or R2L001) is the newest firmware for the SE K700.

@Danny

You need to post a copy of your passport or proof that you are really in Sweden. R2L is the firmware that runs your phone. Something like an operating system. It is the current version of the firmware on your phone. There are many links here that can explain more in detail.

Guys you really should stay on topic. There is another thread about the r2l firmware, use search to find it. The op asked for a place where they sell k700's with r2l. Perhaps you can try expansys.com , email them about the firmware. Dietbrand Vandenberghe

R2L is out in scandinavia - Ive allready had mine updgraded in Denmark to R2L.

Fixes several things.

1. batterylevel meter bug is fixed - it now shows correct level
2. batteryperformance is improved (30% on my phone)
3. restarting/crashing problems are fixed
4. screen flashing is fixed
5. bluetooth improved
+ other things I cant remember right now

You have to buy one with R2A then you take it to a SE and upgrade there

@Temp

The newer production models should have it already. While you are in the store, simply verify the version and see if it already there. If not, then have them upgrade it on the spot.

I've got R2L on my phone in Australia...... they recalled my phone that i ordered (about 1 day before i ordered it!!!) and i had to wait for them to come back in stock
BUT, R2L appears not to crash, restart, i havent' seen ANY of the problems that everyone else has AND bluetooth works 100% and doesn't stuff up like my mates R2A does!
