@HjJ

That's weird! I'm having one K700i with R2L001 right now that has the "MMS/SMS" sort order, and one K700i with R2AE033 with the reverse! Hmm!

I have O2-branded k700i w/R2L firmware. My "new message" option lists SMS first, then MMS. Which is good, because my operator doesn't support MMS. Maybe it's operator specific, rather than firmware-version specific?

I'm a "noob" and I really want to flash my k500 (i've flashed several nokia phones, but that's completely different....)

I don't know what things I need (like software, hardware ect...), since (http://www.sonyericsson.com/updateservice/K700/frameset.htm) didn't support k500i.

Does the dss-20 or dss-25 support k500i?

I need something "user friendly", if it exists.

Oh.. and .. another question: Will my settings/contacts/whatever be deleted if I flash the phone?

hehe, MMS first and SMS second is just a Vodafone way to make you spend more money on MMS ... exclusive in all Vodafone Live! handsets

@vee

Yes! I was sitting with a Vodafone R2L001 (or R2V001 to be correct) and a native K700i flashed at Davinci with R2AE033 and noted the difference... I didn't thought that it had to do with the Vodafone branding... stupid me!

Regarding .m4a support being new to R2AE, this is a myth. I've been playing AAC files with the .m4a extension on my phone since I got it with R2a firmware. Worked with R2L, and it works with R2AE. They have blue icons stedda green and say "mp4" stedda "mp3." And they've always played fine. Mine is (formerly) O2-branded phone, CDA 17, EU2.

ALL:
Where can I download the Firmware for the K500i?
Are the downloads via wap?
Im comfortable with downloading onto PC and transferrig via cable.

Please advise

Just had an email to confirm that the firmware now being use on the online update service is R2E033. Not had a chance to try it yet but hopefully this is the case.
