I got my m600i today - totally freaking stoked. Just a note to say that 1) While I haven't spent a great deal of time fiddling, I'm finding it *way* more stable than I was expecting. Not a single crash or error message !yet!.

I'm currently on R1A52 for the organiser version, and I'm curious as to whether I should bother upgrading if in fact the phone is reasonably stable at the moment! If it ain't broke dont fix it, should this be my approach. My only real concern is the slightly slow system response time, which by the sounds of things may be fixed by a firmware update.

Words of experience are welcomed here

To be honest, mate, you should leave it alone if you are not botherd with the slow response time. Wait untill the upgrades are more stable. Thats my 2 cents.

I personally always update ASAP just to find out if there's been any improvement and while the new firmware isn't without the odd bug the speed and stability alone made it worthwhile for me.

@jordanpayne

So I guess it comes down to who do you like the best? Me or Adhussain?

Masseur's the real deal here

but you're most welcome. It took approx 75 minutes to download the firmware (slow internet connection), and around 30 -40 minutes to install (flash) the firmware into the device. Flashing the phone refers to the updating of the device's firmware.

Thanks! Finished my update but I am not sure how long it actually take because the 'update service' hang for hours and hours. I called the SE service center to ask them how long it suppose to take and they told me it should take about 10 mins and that i should have brought to them to do it and not be doing it myself. Anyway, they told me to unplug the phone and to bring it doen to the service ccenter if it could not start up. Luckily my phone seems to be OK now ... and it's definitely much much faster than before.

Hmm, to sit on the fence or make a call... I choose to remain completely neutral, or, if you feel inclined you can PM me an amount your willing to pay for me to be swayed

Just to be adventurous, I think I'll give upgrading a try. Though the update software is saying that I have the incorrect version of flash installed. I assume other people have experienced this before so I'll see if I can track down a thread on it. Otherwise feel free to make my job easier

No problem mate... Do the upgrade!

Speaking of flash, I am guessing that you are reffering to flash for the upgrade. However I noticed that my possibility to view flash files in the m600 is now gone, so it looks like the built in flash player is gone. Anyone else having this problem?

Sorry, I was referring to the Sony Update Service software, when I try to launch it on my PC it says Incompatible Macromedia version. required version available at http://www.macromedia.com... sounds odd. I'll look around and see if i can find any other update solutions

Update: I think it fixed it when I disabled WindowBlinds. I've installed the latest firmware

Hi all, the upgrade process is taking about 68 MB for R3A firmware. So it's take a while time to d/l.

And for sony update not working with macromedia compatible things , u need browse the "plugin" folder in your browser. Then it will d/l automaticly to upgrade macromedia flash.
I'm using opera browser..so look in Opera/program/plugins then double click "GetFlash.exe" file.

hope it helps.
