Hi,
I have been talking with DJ of Sony Ericsson Phils since last week regarding the firmware update for the P800.
Yesterday, she told me that I can go to SESS in (VA Rufino St. Makati) to have my phone's firmware updated to R1C (Phone). I was able to get a copy of the latest PC Suite. I just brought a blank CD and they made me a copy of the software.
Initially, I was told that I had to wait for two hours for the whole updating process. I went back after two hours (6:30 last night) and then Anne of SESS informed me that it would take another thirty minutes more. After 2 hours and 40 minutes, I was able to get my phone.
I was shocked to see that I received the SAME version I got when I bought my unit. I was really disappointed and I told the guy who updated my phone's firmware that everything remains the same. He gave me unacceptable replies. He claims that R1C of the Organiser was the one updated to R1C while the other 3 (bluetooth,phone and CDA) were not updated at all. It was updated daw to improve the speed of the phone! Then I showed him some of the bugs that I had been experiencing like the Sony Ericsson logo appearing in the communicam viewfinder.
I was really disappointed. I even went to Semicon Power Plant just to confirm that I still had the same version. I was right!
It was around 8:30 p.m. already so I could not call Sony Ericsson or SESS already. I was really.... arrrgghh.
I called DJ of Sony Ericsson Phils and she told me that their unit had an R1C (Phone) and R1F (Organiser). Well anyway, I was able to talk to SESS and Sony Ericsson Phils for a couple of times before I was given an explanation for all the hassle.
They called up Sony Ericsson in Singapore. According to them, what they downloaded had the WRONG file name or something because it was listed as R1C but the content was actually R1B (Phone). The promised R1C version would be available in about two weeks time. They apologized but still I wasted a lot of time...
At least I have the new PC Suite CD. It has a confusing version. When you install it, you would see a version 1.0.6. But when you right-click on the P800 icon on the system tray (near the clock of your PC's desktop) and select the Phone monitor's About menu, it would be listed at 1.10. Anyway, backup/restore is version 1.4.2.0.
I think this would solve the synch issues for other people... I recommend that you get this version. Don't forget to bring a blank CD to SESS.

no need to upgrade for now.... old version kahit sa smartnet.
regarding the Assign the name, etc to it and it would then be saved. You can verify this by going to your Contact directory. Then, go to the Messages menu and create an SMS. Try sending an SMS to the person you recently added. You would discover that you can't send an sms because that particular contact is not reflected as an option. Go back to the Contacts menu and you would see that it's there.
edit the phone and place the phone number to the MOBILE category.

I tried going there but I couldn't see anything...
Anyway, I went to have the firmware updated because it was available na only at SESS according to SE.
Disastrous thing...

thanks for the SMS sending problem. I tried it already.
Amyway, SE Phils told me that SESS was the only place to get it since they instructed them to download them the night before. So it wasn't available to SmartNet.
And SE Singapore confirmed that the R1C file in their site had the wrong content.
Thanks again.
