That's true, yet it's a phone feature. You don't have to take the phone to the service center to upgrade it, so it's not the same....

Too bad SE don´t package their FW-updates in a neat .exe-file and trust the end users to upgrade..
In that sense, I see it as a manufacturer feature, or in SE´s case lacking feature.. oh well, if my Ericsson employee-friend is right, we will indeed be able to upgrade FW soon.
Cheers!

So until that day will come... just for my own peace of mind.. the only bug I know it was fixed was some problem when receiving a phone call from a number that ends with 000. Because I cannot reproduce it, can someone tell me exactly what the problem was? Thanks

The (inside) information i got, stated that all current SE phones will be user-upgradeable via some table stand connected via cable to computer. I don´t know if the table stand exists already (only accessories i care for are passive car holders and headsets)

Hi
I was wondering if someone could tell me how I find out where my nearest SE Service Centre is?
And also, can I still get an upgrade under warranty if I've lost the actual warranty (very stupid thing to do, I know!).
Cheers

(I have a T300 with R1B008)

I wish you good luck. If you will upgrade it for free consider youself lucky.... or should I consider myself unlucky. hehe
As for the SE service centers near you:

Firmware upgrade on SE phones is provided free of charge under warranty in most countries. I have personally got that done in Austria, Canada, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore. Though in Asian countries they only do that for locally purchased phones.

Romania seems to be a rare exception.

@shrek: I know there are principles in life, like the joy of doing things for free, but is that damn upgrade so expensive? How many percentages of the price of your P800, or how many beer-equivalents? This message was posted from a P800
