Before you ask and at the risk of being flamed for asking a question that will have been covered before: I have searched but it isn't easy to find the answers I'm looking for.
As I will probably be getting the K850 soon, one of the considerations has to be updating the firmware (given that it's likely to have few bugs!)
So which network is best for this? I've always used T-Mobile but they seem to remove the SEUS menu option in the phones I've used. I'm most interested in T-Mobile, O2 and Vodafone but not so keen on the blue K850 the latter two are now selling.
Does anyone any any experience/ recommendations with updating a T-Mobile phone, is it case of debranding and what would the consequences of that be? And what about the other networks?

my experience of Vodafone UK on SE phones is that they seem good at keeping the firmware up-to-date. Also at one point, my w800i received a firmware via SEUS a good week before anybody else too.
however, my experience of most recent, is that Vodafone firmware for my N73 is out of date. V4 of s60 3rd edition has been out for ages, but VF have decided not to release it - so i'm stuck on V3.
Vodafone can annoyingly disable some of the most useful features in both Nokia and SE handsets though, which is inexcusable.

Vodafone is the worst u will get over branding, and won't be able to update at all, i was stuck on the old R1JC002 (k800i) firmware even though R1KG001 was out and had been for months i still couldn't update with seus.
i know 02 and orange always have the lastest firmware and let u update, i'm not sure about t-mobile.
