With this new update over GPRS system - are you able to tell me if operators will charge regular GPRS costs to download the firmware, or does it go through different channels? I know that with DaVinci, the firmware is about 18Mb!
This phone is EDGE, yes? How long did it take you to download the firmware?
I'm on Telstra in Australia, and right now there is really no economical way of using GPRS. 2c per KB, 25c connection fee!

NO EDGE INTHIS PHONE ............
I did it using the usb cable provided...my connection speed is 256kbps and it took me around 30-40mins in total...
1st it downloads d software to pc..and then transfers to cell,which takes more time.

Couldn't get the update over GPRS. It was still telling me I already had the latest software.
Installed the W550 software disc and downloaded the new update service. Used it to update my W550i. Have now got software version R4BA041
Oh. Mines a sim free, generic UK version.
Not had chance to try the phone out properly (cemera etc) but I noticed that menu scrolling is faster (more responsive) and load up time has been reduced.
Also, when I used to turn the phone on there was static/scrambling (coloured blocks) on the screen then the

logo and vibrate before going to the activity menu (Start phone/Flight mode).
The static thing on turn on is no longer there now

My pc sometimes does that when I sync my I Mate Jam. Not all the time though.
