I've got R1b on my t68, and I want it upgraded to the latest version(R2a), i called the sonyericsson helpline and they gave me the address of a company called Celestica in Telford, has anyone here sent their phone to celestia?? How long did it take? I did want to take the phone to a service centre myself but they told me that there wasn't one nearby(bournemouth). Is that right?

i sent mine to celestica it took 9 days and was returned with the r1b software
they said they could not get there software running properly
and it would have only been r1c anyway
if there is any where in uk i can get my upgraded to r2a let me know thank you

I took them 1.5 hours

and they did not even lose my data

Hope that helps

Maybe I got it wrong. But the engineer at DVH said it was the mms version. Don't know if it is a beta version. He said they got it straight from ericsson.

Just got off the phone from Ericsson - They told me you could send the phone direct to them, and they'll upgrade it and post it back to you within 3-4 days.

Not bad?

Are you sure that DVH communication in wimbledon already has the new software with mms? I was there 2 days ago to upgrade to R2A (very good service, took only 35min) and they didn't know of a new software. but if somebody knows where I can get my hands on the new software please post to this forum!

thanks!
