Well to all of you that own a Orange K700i. i have just today taken my phone in to the CPW and had the latest software installed on my phone.
As you can see the firmware is R2AC003.
This is not the latest the SE has released but is the latest Orange have approved to work on there phones.
What i can see so far.
The R2AC003 seems to be the same as R2AA003 but Oranges own version.
R2AC003 has none of the functions of the new R2AE033 version for other K700i phones.
The 2 second delay has gone on answering calls however and the menu system is much faster. Ver 3.9 is still the camera version and the shortcuts from the main screen hasnt gone.
The phone now sees a m4a file as music and stores it in the sounds folder, but will not play the music at all no matter what or how i go into it. You cant even assign it to become a ring tone.
I did question the software and spoke to the eng, he did say that Orange are about 1 month behind the others on the software.
1 point to note. Whe i recceived my phone back, the contacts, games, pictures and all my settings were gone, However the phone hadnt beem reset as the bluetooth, sms/mms counter will still there and correct. So be warned and make sure you back up your contacts and anything else you want!!
I will however keep you updated as much as i can and if you have any futher questions let me know.

There is no mention on when Orange would approve the firmware, but the engineer did seem to think that it would be in Imminent.
I have found a bug in the R2AC003 software.
If you have Key sound on to tone, then when you are typing, going around the menus and just generally using your phone as well as the tone you get a power click from the speaker.
The click is more in some menus than other but is extremely annoying.
This is not just my phone but I have had 2 other k700i (Orange) and these have now all got this problem. 1 of the phones have gone back to SE service centre for them to check on the fault and I will report if anything has changed or if new software has been put on the phone when its returned. Thanks
