Well you guys shouldnt complain to much, unless you would prefer they do what they did with the Z1010 and announce it in 2003 and then release it on 2004!!! I guess they were trying to sort out the firmware (NOT). Took a hell of a long time though...

There has been news of a new Firmware R2L001

Seems to be only overseas at the moment.

I've rang phonetec and accord... they only supply R2E upgrades.....

Has anyone heard of this new upgrade in Australia?

well i really don't have that many problems w/my K. everything is fine, the panoramic feature, the screensaver, pretty much everything is OK!
but the only thing i would have to agree in would be the 3 seconds delay when answering, that is a total bitch, i actually have to wait to hear background noise before i can say "hello"
OH and another thing, i downloaded the java game called "alien scum" along w/others and well everything was fine until 2 days ago the game would act up, it would ask me for language, no scores archived, no sounds, so i decided to delete it... BAD IDEA!! now i can't find that game anywhere on SE via WAP, can anyone help me get this game back? it's my favorite one!! please any help would help!! tanx

@JKay, and everybode else regarding the new fw R2E011.

I just got my mobile back from FW flashing, and I have found so many bugs in this firmware already. I have called SE CallCenter, and they say that these errors did not exist when they tested it nor have they got any bug reports. Among that is the calendar-thing you were talking about, that days aren't bold anymore when there is a meeting - SE says that they SHOULD be, and that they were when they tested.

I do not know if it works that way, but it seems to me as if the guys where I handed the phone in possibly could have done something very wrong with their software.. I have found seweral things - you can't search the phonebook with more than one letter anymore (which you should be able to according to SE), the SE logo that appears right after the phone is started is somehow distorted/pixelated or whatever you call it, some (only some) of my pictures were totally black after the upgrade, even the speaker is somehow strange now, it tends to sound very distorted at high volume levels, which it hasn't before. I can't see the clock when I press the volume buttons with the screen turned off - nothing happens... I think the phone is responding slower.
I could go on forever.

The sad thing is that the phone was totally (well..) bug free when I handed it in with the R2AA003 FW.


Though I have found some new things... The screen WILL shut itself off in Power Save-mode when you are in menus and etc, after a little while it first goes to Standby mode where the background picture is and then it turns itself off. It doesn't seem to turn off during calls though, not even the light.

I live in Sweden by the way, and the phone is new from christmas..

If you, govigov, by "you" mean me, then NO, I am not talking about R2AE, I am talking about R2E011 which I had installed today. I agree that it appears to be something else, but it's not. I can't be arsed to take a picture of it right now..

Ok. Sorry Dude. if i sounded rude. It is just that the latest firmware is r2ae and all of the service centre and the update service now offers this new r2ae firmware. This message was posted from a K500

No, I'm sorry..

Aright, then I am really confused. I am certain that the SE guys (called seweral times) said that the latest FW was released today and that it was called R2E011.. And the service centre is directly connected to SE, yes, and they even updated it seweral times to try and get the errors away. It's all very strange..

Sorry dude. Now you know the latest firmware is r2ae, try to get it. :-) (the se service centre will never do that, they got a policy of updating every cust that walks in. ) Something must have gone wrong and they could not upgrade your phone. So they put on that works and then gives it to you. This message was posted from a K500
