Did it at PHONE-CALL http://www.phonecall.fr (no, they don't serve Nokia customers only!) for Euro 15.00. Took 1 hour. Euro 15.00 with purchase receipt. 25.00 without, and free if done within 24 hour of purchase.[/quote]

That's a rip-off!!! It should always be free within warranty!! You should report this to Sony Ericsson, because I don't think these shops are allowed to do this!

I'm still using R1B and hope to upgrade soon. But just for my curiosity, what's new in R2F? I've seen a lot of post about R2D improvements and fixes. So what about R2F? Is there a site where we can see the Changes in this F/W's?

hey Muzikfreakah!

im from cebu too... where did u get ur upgrade? Semicon SM? did they charge you for the upgarde? if so how much?

Thanks

Finally, I ugraded my phone firmware after some months waiting for P800 comming to Vietnam.

My firmware now:
Phone: R2F
Bluetooth: R5A
Organiser: R2B03
CDA: R4A02

It costed USD 13.00 (SE refused Singapore's Warranty card)

Do U know when the newer version comming?
I want to go to SE center again because I miss the Service girl there... 😮ops:

Guys, finally I have the R2F... I was very sceptic at first to get this since r2d was doing perfectly fine on mine. My gf and my cuz decided to upgrade their newly purchased P800's so I decided too also, what the heck.. Now while I was replying to a message with keypad flip on I got the dreaded Triangle Road sign 😞 Its been awhile since I passed by that road.. now im back at it again 😞 Should I just go back to R2d?

I have changed my phone and i got R2D now. My first P800 was R2A if I am not wrong and because there was problem, I changed it and I got a R1D, became older version.. 😮 :x 😞 ..but still, the problems still remain in the phone where people can't hear me properly and finally, I changed it again and i got R2D..I am very happy with it! cool upgrade.

However, night mode doesnt seems anything special though.. but i like the full screen view of picture and movie. Oh..about the full screen video..it makes the video become very slow....i guess it is because it use more processing power and hence so. Any of you experience that?

Yeah, every-one has that! Perhaps the P810 will have some more processor-power 😊

ok..i found out one more difference! Or maybe is not a problem, just that I don't know how to deal with it.

My new R2D play midi very soft on the speaker! My previous 2 P800 with older firmware plays the midi VERY LOUD. I have already increase the multimedia volume. Is there any other place I can increase the volume? It plays the midi for my alarm clock very soft. I merely hear it when i am sleeping...=(

Am still using R2D, but found this out recently.

When you use a midi or wav file that's very long as the alert of your SMS, the music won't stop playing even if you have opened the SMS already. It will finish the whole music. In R2D, it stops the moment you open your SMS.

May have been mentioned already, but just pointing this out.

Just upgraded my phone to :

Phone : CXC162002 R2F
Bluetooth : CXC12529 R5A
Organiser : CXC162001 R2B03
CDA : CDA162001/5 R4A02

So far I'm very happy with it. Best thing for me : now I can control my mp3 player with the flip closed!!!!

Happy days are here.

I get this quite a lot, but I'm sill on R1D (I think, certainly R1, but not sure about the letter). My local carphone warehouse wants to send the phone away for 14 days to do the upgrade so I'm hoping the rumors about SonyEricsson releasing the software upgrades over the internet are true.

Cheers

F comes later than D... so... it's the latest... unless there's R2G or something...

thanx alot i know that now. i just realized that i was reading the forum from oldest to newest so when i read about everyone talking about upgrading to r2d i got confused. silly meeh 😮ops:

Had a firmware upgrade... I experienced when I'm writing a text message that my phone hangs halfway. I have to restart the phone. This happened to me 3 or 4 times already since that upgrade... hmmm... :roll:

Hi STAAR,

I didnt know you're a UIQ user??? i really thought you're a series 60 babe... Anyway, yeah... this R2F gave me lotsa that bloody yellow triangle shit too... (but not while typing sms.. not yet.)

:roll: hopefully a new upgrade will be out soon!!!

Hey, I have that problem too, esp when I'm scribbling a slightly longish message. I'm on R2D, in fact.

Nosferatu: I was once... but now, I changed my phone to P800. 😊 Yes, I wish there will be another software out soon that will fix this problem. I'm sure all of you guys know how it feels after typing a long message and your phone just flashes that yellow triangle! :x

Done by a lovely group of guys in Forest Road, Walthamstow E17. They can be contacted on 0208 923 9999. No receipt necessary and they did it for free in about an hour presumably only because there were no other phones in front of mine! I gave them a box of Roses (no - not the little cheapskate box either!).

The photos are an improvement. But why oh why did SE not do T9. Plonkers.

Upgrade in Datafax Lisboa (nova Campolide), if the phone is in warranty the service is free of charge and it takes about 2 hours .

Nope, sorry, never happened to me. 😃 8)

[quote="Nosferatu"]this R2F gave me lotsa that bloody yellow triangle shit too... [/quote]

Hehe, reading comments like this makes me so glad I never upgraded. 8) :P

My unit is still running on the very first official firmware(R1B), and I'm very happy with it. It crashes like once in a blue moon.. 8)

R1B? Wow... When are you planning to ever have your phone upgraded? 😃

I'm sure (well, actually, I hope) that they can fix the problem in the next firmware upgrade... Muzikfreakah is also encountering the same. Phone just hangs... :-?
