There is currently no way to turn on the speaker before starting the call, but it would be a nice feature.
R2AE is a great firmware and i think everyone should upgrade to it!

I have a k700i UK branded by vodafone, the Eriksson people say I have to contact vodafone for any firmware updates..(since they are unable to help and there nearest shop is >100 miles away.)
Vodafone are clueless and unable to do bugger all it seems...
Sorry if its been answered before but anyone know how I can unbrand my phone to the latest firmware ie shop or some such around the S.Wales area?

warner,
i tried with the service centers here in bangalore, india. they still have the old R2L and no clue about R2AE!!!
so... i am thinking of doing it by downloading. I want to know whether any danger is there if i do it from my pc.. like all messages or contents getting deleted or camera version not getting updated etc.,?
Also, i am unable to download any file (like themes, videos, java games) which are of 30kb or more. it gives error message- "downloading failed" or "temporary error. contact your internet provider". I checked with the provider and they tell that there may be some problem with the browser. Is it so?? does anyone have this problem?

There is always some danger when upgrading through a PC, and you do lose your warranty if you do the operation yourself. However, it's not that dangerous as long as you thoroughly research what to do first.
As for content - even when you do a firmware update through a Service Centre they warn you that you may lose content. I have personally never lost any content myself though.
Some services are less reliable than others - e.g. there used to be a problem updting through Total Multiserver whereby the camera version wasn't updated. I am unsure whether they have fixed this problem. It seems that one of the best servies is DaVinci, although I have not used them myself.

The problem with Total Multiserver has been fixed. You must be using the latest version (1.46) to successfully update with the camera driver. Also, anyone using an Athlon 64 processor is advised to use this version, I have tried earlier versions and it causes the computer to restart on execution.
If you do it the Multiserver way you will lose all content on your phone.

Not quite sure if this has been answered on this thread but, is the k500i even compatible with R2AE?

Can anybody else confirm this ? Is it reliable to use the online update service ? I remember we used to have some corruption issues before...
