guys - I didn't say they were a bad centre but i just left a word of caution that the firmware upgrade on the particular O2 config in my K700i almost left me with a lump of plastic!! - Will wait for O2 online to get back to me - and will try again!

Hi

The same thing happened to me today when upgrading from R2E -> R2L. My K700i (R2A->R2E->R2L swedish) began blinking whenever it got access to the network.

Thw guy in the servicecenter took it back and sent it higher up the chain! 5-10 workingdays before I get it back.

Perhaps (Hopefully!) I get a new one!

This sucks but then again shit happens! Temporarily going back to my old Nokia 6610

I'm on O2 as well but got my mobile from mobileshop.com and when it starts up it comes up with the Sony Logo, not 02? Anyway looks like Brighton is the nearest Sony Service Centre to me and the place I have to go!

Oops, the Sony Centre in Crawley is just a shop I think, not a service centre. The one in Brighton isn't:


yeah the Sony shop in Crawley is just a shop (I live in Ifield on the edge of Crawley) and although I recall a thread a few months back that Sony shops were going to become service centres, last time I asked them they knew nothing about it

in addition - the "owner" of the Service Centre in Brighton stated that he wanted to get away from "Sony Ericsson" and concentrate on Nokia! Something to do with SE not paying for delivery of phones sent back for repair?!

I'm in Gossops Green, right next door! Did you get your K700 f/w flashed in Brighton then or is it still on the original f/w?

No - after leaving the phone with them all day - the only thing they could do was get it back to the original R2A software. I still have the "bugs" and issues that I had before. i will take it to the O2 shop Western road - Brighton this Saturday and let them fix it.

Seriously though - i have waited to get this phone for months - its pretty cool even with the "bugs" - i guess if you want something brand new you have to put up with software problems! :-|

I found a Carphone Warehouse Service Centre near where I work and they can do firmware upgrades for me. If the O2 shops do it was well while-u-wait I will try them as well.

Just called the 02 shop in Brighton and they said they can't do firmware upgrades. So I guess it will have to be either CPW or that SE service centre in Reigate Road.

BTW, did people here say you will lose all our exisiting contacts info & themes after the upgrade or will the info stay there?

Edwin - I can't say if you lose your contacts after the upgrade. I do know that my contacts / messages and "most" of my photos were there when the firmware was reinstated - might be a good bet to back up everything you can though.

My phone has now been handed over to O2 Brighton - up to two weeks away! groan!
