Bookmark topic
I updated my one day old K750 online ten minutes ago. Being the first time i've used the online update service, I was a little nervous, but made sure all my bases were covered and followed every instruction to the letter.
I'm pleased to say it worked perfectly apart from a couple of little issues.
First the good:
1. Updated software from R1J002 to R1L002.
2. mediaplayer seems louder and clearer than R1J
3. Task button now clears screensaver (I seem to remember it didn't on R1J)
4. I had a problem on the previous software with contacts synchronising - it would only work from phone to pc, not the other way. This is now fixed (I tried a master reset before updating, but that didn't help, so decided to go the full hog and update).
5. Menu smoother
6. Saving photo to memory stick is heaps quicker
7. There is a dedicated mp3 folder created on the memory stick
8. The auto focus beep is a lot quieter
9. And the phone seems more stable than it was under R1J
10. And just found in this post by @AntonyScerri, the Camera shutter is muteable on EU_1 firmware only (not EU_3):

The Bad:
the memory stick was in the phone when I updated (SE didn't say anything about removing it). After the update the memory stick was unable to be read by the phone (although the mass storage driver in windows could read it fine) and had to be formatted before it could be used again by the phone.
Of course the Optus branding remains untouched. The online update doesn't touch the customisation file - I knew this anyway so wasn't disappointed
So I'll see over the next few days how it goes, but the phone is still working fine (used so far: bluetooth, cable, calling, sms, camera (phew!), mediaplayer, menu)
