danielcps: I sent it to iUnlock, the link given a few posts up. I bought my phone from an importer, and it had APAC firmware; I needed Americas-1. SEUS would only look for the same region (APAC), while iUnlock could reflash the phone with the region of my choice (Americas-1).
Sebby: My phone came back from iUnlock completely reset, just like when I had my older

phones (T616, T637, S710) upgraded. Probably because of the region change? So I don't think that's the problem.
Anyway, the

problem with the Mac was solved with a simple repairing. However, the DaVinci Code themes are no longer available from the

"Fun and Downloads" section

They were originally locked in the previous firmware, so I couldn't back them up
I have gained one thing: PSP-like menus, as seen in the
pre-rlease reviews. My original firmware didn't have this on any of the included themes.
I only just got my phone late last night, so I still have a lot of exploring to do. I'll post back with more details if/when I find any.

Something else: I previously downloaded the "Casino Royale" trailer (an MP4 file) from

. It worked fine. I've since copied it back to my phone, and the audio portion plays, but no video

(This happens in both the File Manager and the

app.) Also, if I try to re-download it from

, the phone soon after reports, "Download failed."
What the bloody hell is going on? The preloaded MP4 and 3GP files all work fine. And the 007 clip plays without problems in Quicktime on both my Mac and PC.
This "upgrade" is feeling like a downgrade!

I can comfirm fully functional flash themes now for Emerge, Equalizer, and Orbit. There's one little bug, though. On non-flash themes, the top-left Menu icon points to your WAP home page. But on the flash themes, this is replaced a link to the Play Now service.
Which is now more than just a blank page, BTW...
Also, key tones can be phone dial tones in addition to clicks.
The camera has the same settings as before. The viewfinder responsiveness seems improved, at least in room lighting.
On to the

app: Playlist navigation seems a bit faster. Volume level is a tad louder for a given setting. EQ settings are still Bass, MegaBass, Voice, Treble Boost, Normal, and Manual. "Bass" setting is just as strong as before.

One more thing: Screen fonts for the web browser and some Java apps (e.g. the RSS news reader) have been made much finer, so more text fits on the display
I'm still confused as to why the flash-based themes have "Play Now" in the top-left corner of the menu, while all others point that location to my set WAP home page

Because all W810's should have Play Now enabled to default. Therefore, when they (SE) built the flash themes, they built them using the Play Now icon. Even though Play Now is disabled in your phone, it still shows up in the flash theme.

It's actually
R4GC010. Some here have reported that SEUS doesn't have this yet. The shop I sent it to did, though, that's how I got it.
@ Paco: Actually, Play Now works - sort of. I get a very plain page with 5 or so ringtones on it for sale. But again, the non-flash themes don't have this link.
