I observed that after i updated my K700 to R2L, some bugs have been fixed. However here are my reports
1. I can no longer play my Tennis
2. Pictures took so long to load and in the middle of the files phone hangs
3. Battery problem still the same
- - Normally I charge my phone for about 2 hours and it lasted 24 hours average SMS, Bluetooth, Calls, Games
- - I charged my phone from 12 midnight until 8 am in the morning an it lasted for almost 36 hours!!!!! I have my phone for a month already. |

My Tennis game also no longer works. And it can't be deleted either. Annoying. Also, I found another bug:
When taking pictures, you can select different frames, like baby, angel etc. I noticed some new ones, like camo. When I chose that, my screen went haywire. Nothing but a colorblur!!! This COULD have been a funny gesture from SE's side, given that the name IS camo, but when you actually take a picture with this frame, the picture is normal when it's "developed", ie there is NO fram at all.
In the beginning, I found the battery to last a bit longer, but now it's back to good ol' 24 hours again... 
Yeah, I'm talking about R2L, in case you were wondering...

R2L seemed to fix most of the bugs in my phone, except for the bluetooth connection sometimes being lost.
As for the battery life, it is now excellent and lasts for at least 36 hours without a charge, and that is with about 2 Hours talktime a day. |

@gregg - U didnt update it ??  R2L is the latest firmware apart from R2AA which was removed due to bugs. How can you update your R2L firmware ?

@kllr_dude: I think he meant he didn't update it himself, i.e. he got the phone with R2L already on it.

Same here. It just locks up. Been like that for quite a few months now.
Battery ok with me.

Or maybe what he 'really' meant back there is the stock - R2A... firmware? |

I have R2L firmware and the battery life is only a little bit improved than the R2A.
Never experienced any of the hangups you guys have but i did experience random shutting down and starting up of the phone when typing an sms.
As long as i dont play games and send only a few sms, the battery lasts at least 30 hours for me.(i think the manual mentioned 300 hours ! ) .
Damn ! you play games and the phone just sucks up battery like a camel drinking water.
Some of you guys mighta heard - Nokia's BLD-3 battery can be used in a k700. It has a higher mAH rating.
