@Screwston

That's normal even with the new firmware. The new firmware only improves the camera slightly... there's really not much of a difference - for sure!

@ smjohns

The reason that the update service has not got the newer firmware is because it has not been updated. SE are performing maintenance on it as it still corrupts firmware even though they say it never did (but they took the site offline for some time because of this reason) and now they are changing it again. Hopefully they can rectify the situation this time, as the previous attempt didn't help much!

Well to all of you that own a Orange K700i. i have just today taken my phone in to the CPW and had the latest software installed on my phone.
As you can see the firmware is R2AC003.
This is not the latest the SE has released but is the latest Orange have approved to work on there phones.

What i can see so far.
The R2AC003 seems to be the same as R2AA003 but Oranges own version.

R2AC003 has none of the functions of the new R2AE033 version for other K700i phones.

The 2 second delay has gone on answering calls however and the menu system is much faster. Ver 3.9 is still the camera version and the shortcuts from the main screen hasnt gone.
The phone now sees a m4a file as music and stores it in the sounds folder, but will not play the music at all no matter what or how i go into it. You cant even assign it to become a ring tone.

I did question the software and spoke to the eng, he did say that Orange are about 1 month behind the others on the software.

I will however keep you updated as much as i can and if you have any futher questions let me know.

@mwarner

I don't know if this is old news... anyway:

With R2L001 (UPDATE: Vodafone R2V001 to be correct): When you choose to create a new message, the sort order is

MMS
SMS

With R2AE033 the sort order is:

SMS
MMS

Not much people might think... but for me who write a lot of messages (SMS) it's good news!

[UPDATE] Forget about this post - it had to do with the Vodafone branding. Thanks vee. Again you deliver facts!

@Cyber:

On my R2L001, the sort order is the reverse of what you suggest...
