I brought a K700i in Hong Kong on holiday but now Im back in the UK. Can I still get updates?
Also is it worth buying a data cable just to update the software. Ive heard they are like £30 just for a cable. |

Probably best to check with your local SE Service Centre to see if they'll do the update before spending money & trying yourself.
They may not do it as a HK phone is not covered by the European Warranty but it won't harm to ask

You need more than a cable. You need either a DSS-20 or DSS-25 Sync Station to perform the upgrades. This is mentioned in much detail all over this forum. |

You need help dude.  Maybe its that high Mitichlorids count or the fact that you must bring order to the Universe or atleast Esato. |

My firmware version of the phone is the R2JO15, this is the hong kong version. Will I be able to upgrade it her you think? if I did upgrade it, would all the chinese be removed? |

I upgraded my Hong Kong K700 a couple of weeks back to R2L at a UK service centre. It was no problem for them except they couldn't load a UK version onto it so they had to load a Hong Kong R2L version on instead so the languages remained the same. English and chinese.

Normally SE would not service an imported phone. However as a special case, they upgraded mine (bought in Singapore). They had problems loading the local firmware. So they upgraded mine to the Honk Kong version of R2L.
