I just downloaded the software for synchronizing and started it...
Starting the update, the message was: "Do NOT remove the device or interrupt the update in any way"
and then, it crashed with the following message: "Error in communication with the device"!
It restarts my K700, so it ask me my PIN...
Too bad! Need some fixes...

Yeah, stop ignoring my questions.
1) Anyone know if SE HK (or some other region) phones can be firmware updated to any language pack firmware?
2) Does SE publish a changelog on the differences between subsequent firmware versions?

From the FAQ:
"What should I do if an update fails?
If the device is operational you should perform the update from the beginning. In the unlikely event that the device is non-operational you should perform the update in recovery mode. If the device is still non-operational it should be handed in at your nearest service location. "
I'd guess it's better for to wait for public release. Btw how did Dovern find the link. Lucky guess?

yeah, I think this is much too early... I suppose this is in test. Recovery mode does not work, so I suggest other people do not try to upgrade phone... I will try tomorrow to upgrade or recover again...
Phonebook won't open... >> OK, I restarded the phone, and now it finally works! have been worried!
By the way... When this upgrade service will be working, this is what K700 have been dreaming for... No need to go to service center! Thanks SE

Mers - from the FAQ:
--------------
Can I choose what software to put into my device?
No. The service will automatically identify if your device has operator specific software and make the latest software version approved by your operator available for update.
--------------
Bummer. I think I'll update firmware locally to get the English/French I need and then I can do future upgrades (as/if available) online...
BTW, in the US (California) these guys do firmware for $25 and you can pick what set you want:

Hope that helps!

Guys I really recommend not attempting to upgrade yet, it definatly seems like a test run. Wait for it to be announced and then do it. This is fantasic news, SE has done well. Lets hope they make us happy tomorrow and announce some new phones as well (successor to the P900!?!?)

@dmgoss: I read that too, but it's ambiguous don't you think? HK, Western Europe, etc. aren't "operator specific". I think that "operator specific" bit is to prevent stuff like changing from a locked provider phone to having a sim unlocked phone. Time will tell, though the use of "automatic" doesn't give me much hope.
And as for that place, I don't wanna send my phone all the way to CA!
Thanks though.
But as for that last question, someone HAS to know whether SE releases a changelog of the differences between firmware versions! Or have you guys just upgraded your SE phones (everything from a T39 to P900) without knowing what the new firmware did?
