Still no sign of any major problems with the new firmware. I've updated from R1L002 so have picked up some long awaited imrovements, such as better video. The video is way better (than R1L002) and I'm stoked about that. No sign of the transfer bug. No negatives to report so far.

Numb,
Much better than your last reply in sense of maturity and logicality. I was not attempting to insult you or ridicule, but making it clear that if you want to disagree (which is also your right), come up with something I'll buy - "no", "no", "no", "no" is not enough. Like I said, your recent post is much, much better than your previous as aforementioned.
I would prove you wrong in some aspects (picture noise, battery usage, etc), but I am not interested in writing a firmware; as this requires extensive time, money, and dedication (minimum of three years if you are writing one yourself; however, three months is ample for a handful of qualified programmers, working and testing, in collaboration). Plus, who would reinvest the whole project? So blah!
Anyway, before I get banned here again (lol), I will not argue further as Esato.com is one of the best educational sites around, dedicated to SE. Nonetheless, feel free to criticize or argue more if that pleasures you. I'll not stop.
Later

1. Not a bug - and not below average, its exactly the quality it was ment to be, just because you may find something better in a different phone does not make it a bug in this phone.
2. Not a bug - are you blind or what ? Its the best 2mp cam without competition, even mentioning samsung D600 in this comparison is riddicouless, but even if there were any cams better, it still doesnt qualify as a bug.
3. Battery is the same - no bug
4. Not firmwarerelated - no bug - and what 50% is that ? how do you come up with that number ? dont throw out foolish unsupported numbers that makes no sence.

Perhaps I should have made it clear, for the mentally challenged, that there is still a lot that can be improved with firmware - may or may not be a bug exactly in your definition. How strong is my argument? I am a certified programmer from Texas myself, but that's another story. Anyhow, I did also mention at the end, save IV, the rest are my opinion. So read on cause this gets good.
I) Perhaps my memory is poor but someone else help him understand that there have been no improvements on video quality - even though, firmwares are capable of that also and this my friend, has been proved.
II)
LOL@"blind". No, and I did say "it's my opinion" didn't I? (chuckles) Whose blind now? I do believe picture quality (such as noise) can be improved with firmware? Oh ya, say this to Miss UK @ "mentioning samsung D600 in this comparison is riddicouless" and you'll have a better chance / reason for embarrassment (lol).
III) May @ "Battery is the same - no bug": but then again, it's your opinion not mine. A lot of adjustments to the firmware can be done in order to minimize the overall battery usage.
IV) You keep on forgetting that my opinion is not restricted to one site only. I have no intention of SPAMMING forums, hence, I took the easy way out of just stating the CONSENSUS, based on OTHER forums in contemplation. You are free to criticize me of course but don't overreact please. It's not like Sony Ericsson is going to give you an award for standing up (lmfao!) though I give you some credit for trying.
Now you are going to remind me that this topic is originally about "bugs", not improvements or anything that's more hardware related right? Cannot disagree. In fact, my point was simply - yes, there is going to be a next firmware update, not now but soon. Then again, IT'S MY prediction.
No offense, but next time, take your time to type up something you really want us to know instead of arguing over something unsure. Nevertheless, I wish you the best in your next reply.

I can't find any major (new) bugs yet. I really do think this is the best F/W yet. There is still some problem with xfers from the phone memory (not MSDuo) but this can be worked around by moving to files to MSduo before copying to P.C. I also can still hear static in the MP3 player - but hey, they are after all MP3's which do lack in quality. We can't expect perfection from a F/W as sometimes some sacrifices need to be made. As far as functionality goes this F/W has pretty much got it right - so far.
Also, I amazed that some claim the F/W fixes issues with the joystick or think the joysticks are calibrated. The joystick is nothing more than a box of micro switches. i.e. on/off switches only. Therefore, I doubt they can be calibrated or improved with F/W. Someone mentioned swirling around the joystick. All this may do is cause movement in the mechanism and maybe free up some dirt or corrosion.

DragonEye,
The quality on w900 is remarkable indeed. However, a closer examination with the D600 reveals less frequent noise in the dark or may be it's just me?
Either way, I appreciate you shared those pictures with us. Nonetheless, have you tried comparing those w900 examples with the k750i in similar situation, environment, lighting, and adjustments? If not, don't take the hassle but if you have, then please do share the examples, and of course, your inference.
Ya, it might sound daft and ridiculous suggesting comparison of two cell phones with identical hardware's onboard but later you will see, this will have much to substantiate, provided, the results turn out contrary to your prediction.

minor bug for others,major bug for me (K750):
File manager-themes-Eternal-set-scroll up to Sony Ericsson-Info-OK-scroll down-the image is gone.
It's so sad to see this bug on the default theme..that's fine-just a minor thing-it won't explode our phone anyway...
cheers.

yes the samsung seems to do a bit better in low light conditions (less noise more blur, if i'm not using the flash) i've had about 3 k750i/w800 in the past and the cam has always been better then my w900, the samsung was is my cuz's and i don't see him that often, but i will try to get a hold of my gf's k750i and do a comparison against the w900...

Personally i don't care really. Never bothered to update my phone cos everythings fine. These 'issues' are meaningless. Besides i'm sick and bored of my k750 can't wait till i get a replacement. Oh and will the texan stop rabbiting on

@max
Your point about the joystick issue being firmware based is pretty interesting though. Lots of other devices that use joysticks also have procedures for reseting the calabiration i.e. gaming controllers. One quick read through the K500i forums on gsmarena and you can see that people do fix their joystick problems with a few simple turns
On the other hand though, people also have tried to clean out their K7** and that too has fixed their problem.
But probably the best solution would be just to get rid of the joystick all together
