i almost encountered my 2nd WSOD for my k800i. My first was replaced since it never woke up from its deep sleep. I sold that replacement k800 which i never reaelly had a problem with. Eventually, i found a 2nd hand k800 which was in mint condition also at a very low price so i got it immediately. Just today after switching my sim card from my m600i, i actually felt the grief that i felt(WSOD) almost two months ago. i immediately took of the sim and connected the phone to the charger. it eventually booted up to the charging screen in which my first k800 never woke to. after charging for at least 15mins, i placed my sim card again and turned on the phone. Luckily it turned on and i again connected it to the main charger. i guess the WSOD is the worst fault/bug i have encountered with
phones. i hope the next firmware would resolve this.

I got sick of wating for SEUS to provide the new firmware, so I upgraded to R1ED001 Europe 4 (generic Nordic) yesterday evening, connected to internet through my (now unlocked and debranded) old Samsung Z500 on my new 3 SIM.
No problems flashing, took 23 minutes (slower connection through the Samsung, probably old/bad drivers). Felt like it took forever to get the phone started first time after flashing, several minutes before anything happened, but I did not want to try to turn it off.
Noticed a funny thing when restoring text messages using My Phone Explorer, for each message that the phone received, the date and time in standby mode changed to the date and time of the message. Cute!
Addition: Just sent my first text message since reflashing, and delivery reports work for me, on my K800i R1ED001 on Swedish 3.

@O2 K800i
> Can you note the loss of Games and Apps folders in 1st post please
I doubt this is an issue with the firmware itself - it sounds like a problem with the flashing tool you used. Unless something is widely reproducable and a problem with the firmware itself i'll not add this to the first post - sorry!
Added the joystick not waking the phone from standby to the first post.

*camera does actually seem to take clearer pictures with less noise, although i didn't think to take a photo before i flashed to verify this.
The pictures i did take before seemed a bit 'fuzzy' - the photos taken with my old nokia n90 were better by an order of magnitude, but the new software seems to have cleared this up.
please post a few pics in different lighting using the new F/W

I've got exactly the same problem missing files under Games and Apps after a master reset, and as I've already written too.
So i think there is a hardly reproducable but very serious file corruption bug with the phone.... (r1cb001)

@farkasg
No arguement with O2 when I phoned - I had expected there to be - came off phone, checked this forum and lo and behold - guess O2 know about it.
@MWarner - second this bug though it seems to be rare thankfully.

Just had my first reboot on the new firmware. Reading email, following a link to a rather big web page, reading, closing browser, screen goes black, short burst of white, black, after a while back to standby screen, searching for network.
So, they did not fix that one, I guess...

To be honest, once i uploaded them and saw them on a monitor im less impressed. Theyre definetly better than they were pre-flash, but still leave alot to be desired for a 3.2mp camera...
