Cheers for the help!

I'll buy a DSS-20/25 and give the online update a go.

Cheapest I've found online is £14.95 ex delivery at http://www.blueunplugged.com/[....]Display.aspx?productKey=105541 but I'd really like to buy one in town tomorrow. Does anyone know of any UK high street retailers selling them cheaper than £29.99?

Thanks again.

Do I really have to have that DSS 02-25 Syncstation when upgrading my fone's firmware, will a bluetooth transfer not do? Also, will I be getting same results if I upgrade my K700i online against that at authorized upgrade SE service centers? . . . Just having doubts here, my fone might go berserk after updating online!

@JN, you should be alright mate, I did it with my DSS-20, and if I can do it without buggering my phone up, anyone can!

It's worth it!

@sammy_boy - What's the major role of that DSS 20/25 Syncstation mate? I don't have one, does tha mean that I can't upgrade firmware - R2L . . . online? I thought it's just the normal downloading thing where I can stock the firmware on my PC's hard disk then be transferred to my K700i via Bluetooth Thanks!

@JN - I'm afraid you do need a syncstation in order to do it - it cannot be done via Bluetooth, IR, or data cable! Try borrowing a friends or something, or you can get one off ebay cheaply. It takes about 30 mins and it's all explained step by step on the website

@sammy_boy - Many thanks mate ! I guess I'll be better off bringing the fone in an authorized SE center to have the firmware upgraded - to be 100% sure here.

you need to think of updating the phone software the same as reinstalling your computers os.... basically you are installing new phones OS.

It goes without saying, that the phone needs to be switched off (non operational) for this procedure. The whole software update is run from 'outside' the phone and can NOT be done by because the bluetooth connection on the phone is controlled by the phones software and therefore non useable when this very software is being updated.

And THIS is xactly why you need the sync station..... for the proper sort of connection between your phone and the 'external updating agent'.

And flashing at home gives you the exact same result as flashing at a service centre... you're all tapping into the same resources in the end.

I wonder why people are so afraid to do it themselves?

If at first you don't succeed,
look in the trash for the instructions

Vlammetje - Many thanks for that thorough explanation . . . Since I am not very good at celfone/PC technicalities, I might just rather leave it to the experts! Just like what you said/stated above, I have no time to look for the instructions in the trash, 'cause I always 'shred' the manuals - instantly ! I hate paper trash cluttered in my work desk, that's why . . . Again, many thanks! I'll better leave it to the experts Marga!

I've ordered a DSS-25 online after being met with blank faces in phone shops all over Bradford when asking for one. Is it really that rare to see one in the wild?!
