It might be that the current FW in the phones doesn't support this yet. Maybe we need a "ordinary" fw-upgrade before this online-service is implemented in the phone. Just a thought, I might be wrong!

Do you really have to buy a syncstation, isn't there a way to sync the k700 with a bluetooth dongle to update your firmware?
I just bought my dongle, should have bought a syncstation instead...

Grrrrrrrrrrrr..........

Wouldn't that be a lot of backwards reasoning by ?


Nope, that's gotta b the wrong answer.... that just can't be right!

Nope... I'm still going with my first hunch.... online but not 'ready for the end user'

mrb18:

Why can not the device be updated via Bluetooth or Infrared?

The update service updates the entire software, including for instance Bluetooth. This makes it impossible to use Bluetooth or Infrared as media for device software updates.

1) Assuming this online firmware update thing eventually works ... if I bought an unbranded SE in HK, do i have to keep installing HK firmware versions or can I install any firmware?

2) Does SE provide a changelog of what has been changed in new firmware versions?

Just read in SE faq:

Gotta by a syncstation then...

You just beat me to it @dovern

It's never really a good idea to upgrade wire-less products via bluetooth or infrared, because it causes to much problems. All wire-less
products need to be upgraded with wire-connections to pc and so on. I know someone who tried upgrading their wireless-lan without connecting it to the pc, and it died on them.

Does anyone know if the Syncstation + update works with an Apple Computer?
I doubt it does, as it isn't listed in the requirements, but just in case it does...
