Sony Ericsson Update Service
The firmware of the W850/W830 can be upgraded either over the air by selecting Settings / Update Service / Search for update or via the more traditional (and potentially cheaper) method of the
Sony Ericsson Update Service. In order to use SEUS you will need to have internet access (preferably Broadband) and attach your phone to your PC via the supplied USB cable.
Note that the required firmware update drivers are present in the following directory after installing SEUS:
C:/Program Files/Sony Ericsson/Update Service/drivers
If you run into problems, you may wish to download and install Sun's
Java Runtime Environment separately.
If the firmware update fails part way through, retry the SEUS. If the update consistently fails you will need to perform a Master Reset on your phone. It is likely that you will be required to perform a Reset All - a settings reset is unlikely to do the job. It is recommended to use a tool such as
MyPhoneExplorer to create a backup of the data on your phone before performing a Master Reset. Note that you will still lose any games, themes or ringtones present in your phone's memory.
SEUS will currently install the following firmware revisions for UK phone brands:
W850
Unbranded UK (CDA102677/95) - R1ED001
O2 UK (CDA102677/58) - R1ED001
Vodafone UK (CDA102677/51) - R1ED001
Orange UK (CDA102677/36) - R1ED001
3 UK (UNKNOWN) - R1ED001
T-Mobile (CDA102677/26) - R1ED001
Third Party Update Services
Third party firmware updates are available from
Wotan Server. The use of third party solutions will theoretically void your warranty (although in practice the phone vendor is unlikely to notice) so should only be used in preference to SEUS for debranding purposes or updating a problematic phone locked out of SEUS by the service provider.

I don't think that the slide is suppose to end calls. I think that is a oversight by
in my opinion
