Many to most here are well aware of the pitfalls of using DaVinci, Wotan, etc..... and like most, I can say that we do not like being treated as babies. Your laughing SE friends are probably like my SE friends who also understand the want and desire to have their phones upgraded. Before you can talk down to the members of this forum and let alone this thread, you need to get a bit more credibility. Your points are noted now move along.

Everytime I upgrade my firmware I lose all my internet settings and email settings. Is there anyway to get these off the phone prior to upgrading ? I did R1ED001 and then again with EROM update yesterday.

Ok Same Pics with the New K800i
Again one with out flash in room light and one with flash in darkness
Could you kindly put these pics (and perhaps few more?
) on the internet, so the size and quality is original and without any logos on them? That would be much better for comparing the quality of the camera between the old and new fw.

Internet settings are a bit trickier to back up. I too wish there was a straightforward way to save these along with the custom dictionary.
It is at least easy enough to resend them from the Sony Ericsson website. And a program like MyPhoneExplorer will take care of all your other user data.

Well Good Afternoon to you all.
I have just been catching up with some of the comments that have recently been made.
ok Ill try to answer them all for you.
1st of all, The firmware that is on Wotan server is an approved version from SE. The company pays SE for the privlage of having the firmware so people can update first / Debrand the phone etc. the EROM update is to make the phone more stable and again is an approved version from SE.
2nd, People like my self who upgarde earlier are sort of like Testers for SE. We place our findings on here, How do you think SE and other companies know about most of there faults. SE do read threads like these and so do the mobile companies.
3rd. And i agree with people on here. You dont have to pay for it. I dont mind paying 7 Euros to upgrade early. If you dont want to pay then drive to a SE Service center who will do the update for free. However this will cost parking (If you have to pay) Petrol or a bus journey etc. also the phone will be ready the following day so thats another journey.
4th SE update service doesnt have to post anything for any of there mobile phones. They do this for the customers benefit and to try and keep them. Nokia have only just started there service.
Please dont shoot people on here. We are all trying to help each other out with our findings and hope to make a better phone and beat Nokias (Joke
)
Service Centers have only just been given there update of the new firmware and erom in the last week, this is why SE update is still saying that the phone has the latest version and may continue to say it for a few more days yet.
arh and the other question of the 30 pages of faults.
Ok yes there is a current list, but this just doesnt cover the K800i. It covers all there latest versions of firmware relases of there current models and new ones waiting to be released.
Modifications / Updates / Possible Changes / Changes that are waiting to be done etc.
I hope ive answered everything.
Oh well back to work now.

Unfortunately I don't get my GSM WAP connection setup automatically. I have to remember which bits to fill in. There are some countries out there that don't have GPRS still.....

Upgrading the EROM, will you need to backup everything on your phone first? Or is there no need?
*EDIT*: There's actually no need...I connected to wotan and it told me straight away I needed to update
I updated, removed battery, inserted again, and everything seems fine.

Can you confirm what you did regarding your EROM upgrade? I've already got R1ED001 on my k800i but want the EROM upgrade too (now free on Wotan by the way). However i don't want to reflash with R1ED001 following the EROM upgrade. Did you just upgrade EROM and not the firmware, and the phone booted up ok afterwards?
