Does anyone know if the online firmware update service will allow you to install a different language to the phone? All this talk of only being able to put the permitted software on your phone (eg. vodafone branding over vodafone branding) and the fact the the process is automatic makes me fear you won't get a choice of picking a different language pack.

I need to put italian on a UK O2 version K700i. Will this be possible?

From what my friend at Ericsson Lund has told me, each FW "flavor" eg. Vodafone swedish, Telia Go, Orange or whatever has a unique checksum, hence a branded phone will not accept generic FW.
I don´t know if the trick described elsewhere in the forum works (where you put an unbranded phone in the cradle, let the update tool detect it and when download of FW starts, exchange phone to a branded one)
I am not calling anyone a liar, but I would be very surprised if that really works.. I mean, try that with a computer motherboard BIOS flash and you´re most likely to have a "braindead" motherboard instead of a flashed one.

hmmmm....
Tried in the morning but the program has given out a mistake...

"Your device is not permitted to use this service

Your operator does not approve the usage of this service for this device.
We look forward to assist you again soon.
Thank you for using Sony Ericsson Update Service!"


Has decided to try once again, but link (http://www.sonyericsson.com/updateservice/K700/frameset.htm) does not work..... "The page cannot be found"

I also tried last night,..got everything right, but service was simply overloaded...

Also regarding the use of simcard or not,..
I'm using the DSS25,...
When I try to remove simcard, and insert the K700 into sync station, I get a popup on pc screen, saying : INSERT SIMCARD

If I dont do this, program wil shut down.

(the message is coming from mobile phone monitor,..where I of course also has enabled the comport for the DSS25)
Dont think I can disable this ????


I then tried with simcard, and got the following message :
There is no software for your operator,...
and "this device is not permitted to use this service"

Second time I got a message saying "Too many users on site, try later".

And I'm in Denmark BTW (unbranded phone, no simlocks or anything,..and using one of the first K700's out,..the one with the PLAY NOW icon on the screen)

From what I can understand, service is not official yet,...think that is why its so unstabile, dont think its fully up'n' running yet.

Regarding SIMCARD > with the P900 updates via web, can you have the simcard in the phone, or do you guys remove it ??
