@masseur We guessed that part, but the question is have we been ripped off, by being given DCU-11 NOT EVEN DSS BUT DCU-11 sync-stations? Can anyone with the first P800 to hit the market check that out?

I don't understand the comment "ripped off"
P800 came out a year before online updates were available and
took the DCU-10 cable, made some changes (not sure what) and produced the DCU-11 cable which they also used in the P800 sync station (actually I vaguelly recal l the first P800 came with DCU-10 in the sync station)
presumably there is some technical difference in the DSS that they made in order for the update to work but which is not available in the DCU because they hadn't thought about online updates at that time.
as technology moves forward why do people always feel "ripped off" because what they have doesn't work in the future
btw, you can buy a DSS-25 for 15 pounds on ebay, I got a spare one from there

My apologise for this being slightly off topic... But my k700 would connect to my DSS-25 at all??
The story so far...
Somewhere on a sync station far far away...
It was a dark time for the sync stations... Mine won't bloody recognise my k700!! I've tried everything!! I've even uninstalled all my P900 PCsuite stuff(i know i'm gonna regret that, probably never work again) and reinstalled the k700 pc suite but it still just says not connected when i sit the k700 on the stand?? The green light comes on?? Anyone point me in the direction of the correct thread for this or help me out here? Desperate for a fw upgrade!!

did you disable USB in the P900 "phone connection link" (in system tray), take note of the com port that that USB was connected to and then activate that com port in mobile phone manager?
edit: I'm also assuming that you have the K700 sync software installed?

I uninstalled all my old P900 stuff. Then I installed the K700 CD stuff. The only phone monitor com port I have enabled is com3 which corresponds to the bluetooth serial port.
I don't think there is any other magic trick! Of course I cannot update anyway, but it does find the phone and switch it off for me, very useful

I never use the software on the supplied disc, I just grab it from the support site as often it is a later version (indeed they just updated it last week too)
then I did as I described to switch between P900 and K700 using the sync station
sorry I can't be of more help

I don't have my sync station with me but I got past downloading and installing the Sony Ericsson Update Service software before it complained so your problem is most certainly unrelated to the sync station
