Ok ive done it!
Its ok i suppose!
- Video length now says "Messaging or Normal" instead of "Unlimited or Normal"
- The gallery responds faster
- The T9 symbol appears different
- Keypad unlocks automatically when swiveled open
- Overall a faster phone!
- Photos take a lot quicker in night mode

I just upgraded mine to R3k too. The bad thing is I just lost all languages on the phone except English, that's mean no Swedish or other Nordic languages left on the phone but SMS languanges are still left .. A buggy maybe or..
But R3K is still R3K, much faster meny, nad phone number buggy was fixed, auto unlock when u wrid it...
Still great..

any news on whether this works with Vodafone branded phones, and is so, does it remove the branding? |

My S700i that I just updated to R3K still makes a horrible noise when you take a photo, even in silent mode. It could be dependant on which market the phone is designed for, like UK versions cant be silenced. |

... so let me get this straight, if you have a UK Vodafone branded phone, you cannot update the software through SEUS? |

Your operator does not approve the usage of this service for this device.
We look forward to assist you again soon.
Thank you for using Sony Ericsson Update Service!

I got the same message - I have what was previously a branded Vodafone handset that I unlocked and removed the branding on davinci.
Has anyone else got this to work with a previously branded handset??? |
