OK, this is AWESOME news....

looks like they've DITCHED the vodafone icons!!!!

I now have the generic SE icons, buthave a weird one in the top right that is a ! in a blue oval with "OPER SPECIFIC" in it.....

either way, the new icons, new boot icons, new status bar icons.... seems loads faster too...

seems sweet so far...

I have the oper specific one too... but still have other Voda ones - it was a recovery update too.

... my browser now refuses to recognise that I'm in a 3g area now, so can't watch TV and doesn't show images on some pages.

It looks like the firmware is missing all the VF customisations apart from the startup and shutdown screens. None of the Vodafone Live! pages are loading properly either..... not that i ever used them...

the only thing to try after a firmware update is a master reset really.

Finally, firmware update available for 3 phones in Aus... Still downloading, hope it's worth the wait.

...

Well, menus/media player seems a little faster now. If I listen to music and then operate the camera things slow down considerably, as before.

My menu icons changed (specifically the calls & video call icons). I re-applied the theme I was using but no change.

Woo! - SEUS now does T-Mobile UK updates too. I noted that although it said 'RECOVERY UPDATE' (as seems to be happening for Vodafone UK users) it leaves the T-Mobile icons as they were in the menu.

Unfortunately it's not fixed the random reboot problem - just tried to download the Gmail app (http://www.gmail.com/app now they've finally got it working for the K850i) and it's still rebooting itself whenever I try to do so - it even does so just sitting on that page and not even clicking on the download link. Will try a master reset next but would be interested to hear if anyone else is experiencing this issue.

So are all Vodafone UK users experiencing firmware issues?? I got the 037 today after my phone crashed for the second time... But my mate (Manager of Vodafone Shop) said i'll have to remove it otherwise my warranty is void?? Annoying as hell!!

Just got mine on 17/12/07 updated the O2 firmware straight away before I used it. During navigation of the menus, particularly option menus, the select touch button could do with been changed to the left instead of the middle, so that it would be quicker and easier to get the job done?

they can't void your waranty for updating using the software that came with the phone!
Yeah, I'm on Voda UK and have issues!
only thing I notice in the new version is the icons have gone all big and the applications one now says 'oper specific' ... and the 3G/H thing.
Still crashes if you try to do the weird play thing on a picture and now Voda Live & TV is screwed.

Still no update for my non-branded K850i in Australia...

Is there any (free) way to upgrade the firmware? I'm hoping it solves my problems re: HSDPA - I can never get the H or 3+ icon to display even when I have full 3G reception on Vodafone, which offers HSDPA.

I upgraded my unbranded APAC-ANZ handset to R1CA037 on SEUS
about two weeks ago.
