I now have the R2L installed. Apart from the observations written in the OP I salso found that:
- selection bar (indicating which option in a menu you are about to choose) is now much bigger, too big in fact, ugly,
- there's a shortcut to "Sony Fun" where the shortcut to WAP used to be (upper left), just like with the z500. I can live with that but in a lot ofother menus (pictures, sounds, themes) there's also one or two shortcuts sending you online to SE or Sony Fun. What sh*t is that! And you can't get rid of them.
If it weren't for the bold dates in the calendar and the still improved battery life...
Shame! Shame! If we want menus that drive us online even by error we'll buy a branded SE.

Found my first bug in R2AA003. While talking to someone, the phone just restarted itself without any reason (just talking, not using any other aplication or speaker). Anyone notice the same problem with this software ???

Hi. Just found a really obscure bug in R2L. Would appreciate any comments in case it's me. I have Line 1 and Line 2 enabled on the Orange UK network. When using the normal profile, I change to Line 2. I then select any other profile which is set to use Line 1. The phone changes profile and selects Line 1. When I change back to the Normal profile, the phone selects Line 2 (as this was selected previoulsy), but then diverts all Line 2 calls to the last number they were diverted to. If no number is available it diverts calls to voicemail. I then have to switch off the divert manually! Same thing happens if I have a profile set to use Line 2. When selecting that profile all Line 2 calls get diverted. I have tried changing the Divert Calls setting within each profile, but it always says Divert On, even if the network states that it is deactivated. Very weird and annoying.

Another bug(?) - withheld/private number calls that are answered/received are not included in the answered calls list. I am quite puzzled as to why this is when missed calls with withheld numbers are included in the missed calls list...

Hi Guys
I have just been trawling the site and I am probably gonna ask a stupid question, but am I correct in understanding that the R2L001 is the latest and greatest out there for the k700i unbranded phone?
Cheers

Hi, has anyone thought about e-mailing the list of bugs to Sony Ericsson? I am sure if the list was sent then there would be more chances of them being addressed. I don't think SE come on this forum or any other forums to look for solutions!
Also, it would be useful to include some of the other things that users would like incorporated in the FW like :- switching off backlight/screen on calls after about 10 seconds, like Nokia and every other manufacturer!

Good idea, @RedDwarf2002,
My k-700 R2Y005 Firmware -(first appeared around 25/10/04- by @mwarner's Firmware Overview) still has few bugs, the greatest: video and picture dims after 15 secs, but animated gif stays always bright.
Significant improvement from first ("frosty") release R2A041.
My first (s)E
,
was battery eater too, but without bugs.
