O2 have delayed the release of the P990i to 2 October 2006 for sure but some of their CS people are touting 16 October 2006, as they are waiting for a further firmware upgrade. Not sure how true but anyone know when SE have touted a next release?

I have a Vodafone UK handset and it's making me pull my hair out.

Tried update yesterday, the SEUS software is an unbelievable CPU hog. It has to be due to badly written software or a bug. I do however have a suspicion that it might run the fancy fading graphics it has on CPU using custom code which might explain why.

Anyway, tried the update, said there was none, did it anyway:

Phone:
CXC162037 R5A006

Bluetooth:
CXC162058 R4F01

Organiser:
CXC162036 R3A04

CDA:
CDA162008/91 R2A04 (repeats on the next line . . . wierd)

Vodafone UK branded handset. When will carriers/operators learn not to load their crappy branded software and firmware?

If Belgium guys finally have the update, this means now our turn has come again, come on SE we are waiting for newest Generic Update )))))))

Hopefully R8 for the phone and R6ish for the CDA

@J273

delete the latest firmware files from your PC from Program Files>Sony Ericsson>Update Service>db>137????>blob_fs

Also delete the SE COM ports, reboot and re-run the update service

My response would be "don''t bite the hand that feeds you".

It's well documented in this thread (and others) about the VF branding and SEUS updates for the handsets.

Operators will continue to put their customisation on as they have, amongst other reasons, subsidised your purchase of the handset. It also means that (all) users will have less configuration to do when they take the handset out of the box. The aim is to insert simcard, charge and be good-to-go straightaway. Your purchase of the phone can be counted as an 'acceptance' of their branding i.e. OS and applications. If not... simply buy elsewhere.
