Just flashed my K700i to R2AT003 using Davinci yesterday.
I can't tell you what a relief it is to get rid of the camera shutter sound. Doing only that was worth a credit. Second, changing the sms tones is a bonus. As said before, camera takes nightshots with MUCH less noise, even when not in night mode. Scrolling through the image folder is also a bit faster but not by much if you compare with R2AE.
I'm posting a nightshot and one taken after sunset so it was actually really dark outside.

Following Firefreak and cyberlip's camera experiments with R2AT, I have updated the first post to mention that R2AT takes better photos in low lighting conditions.

Do you know if the SE Desk Synchronisation stand (DSS 25) will work with the K750i
Thanks

It will not... the K750 and the W800 uses the new FastPort connector...

Thanks for your help.
Another question - Could I use a data cable,
as shown here to upgrade the firmware on my K700i?

Nope, you need a service cable, not a data cable.

Right...so if I buy some credits for Davinci (will my credit card or PayPall account suffice?) and take the k700 I have in a local service center that has a DSS-20, will they be able to d/l the new firmware onto their PC and flash the moby with the new firmware? I can at least try talking to the support people there to persuade them, needles to say, I'm a huge fan of night shots

Yes you can pay using PayPal. A little tip... PM a user called
619. He'll sell you DaVinci credits cheaper than off of the DaVinci website. He also takes PayPal.
A Sony Ericsson service centre will definitely not do that. DaVinci is not an official way of flashing. It is a third-party logger. So you'll need to do it yourself, or get a friend to do it perhaps.

@RTouris:
If you have a SE Service Centre nearby then you will be able to take your phone along and they will update the firmware free of charge. However, they may not flash it with the latest R2AT - it is likely they will still be using R2AE.
If you specifically want R2AT and your Service Centre will cannot provide it, DaVinci is a good bet. You will need to buy/borrow a service cable, DSS-20 or DSS-25 to flash your own firmware.
