Hmm,..dont know if it could mean anything,..but
some K700i's are sold today with R2L,.. but the people who have had the phone longer, have the older version.
I dont know if this could have any effect in the update service ?
Also there are different language packs (EU1 EU 4 etc) that we install, depending on where we are from,..this would be pretty automated in the update service, as it reads the IMEI number on the phone, I would think.
So maybe these different packs behave a bit differently when we use the service...who knows ?
Also some packs are operator specific,.. and some get "approved" by operators,.. dont know if that goes for all,..
But I think there could be various reasons why some get a message, and others dont
Esato (and other forums) will always be "up to date" with new "software" posts,..so I would suggest that people check here, before trying to update a phone, that might not need updating.
If your phones software says R2L when checking it now, then theres absolutely no point in trying the update service, hehe

Phone branding is such a pain

Just wanted to share to you that everything went well with my on-line update from R2E to R2L.
My PC was running on Windows XP Home with SP1 installed on a dial-up line.

Has anyone else experienced this very curious and blooming irritating 'feature' of the latest update.
I had email set up to check my home email - useful when out and PC off. Installed latest update from SE update site and it has obliterated the email settings.
Tried to re-input the settings and it just keeps on losing them each and every time - even after a second update, just to check it was OK.
The strange thing is that when I use the same settings name as before the update, the settings appear in the right boxes, they just won't activate.
It just keeps saying that email settings need to be set up! ARGH!
Other than that the update seems fine.

I think we should damand a very good explanation from o2 as to why they have 'banned' it. Theres nothing stopping people taking it to a SE shop to upgrade the firmware, so I see no point what so ever in stopping people doing it themselves using SE's own online update service. Thats just total stupidity.

I've emailed them telling them to get their act together or I'll be asking for my PAC code. Maybe they'll beg me to stay and offer me a S700i or something.
:p

I have also just emailed them to find out what is going on too, it cant be that hard the other networks do it.
I also find it hard to believe that the 2 biggest networks have problems with people running the service they need to sort them selves out.
I will keep you posted as to what relpy i get.
