Fw upgrades fix former bugs of faulties in the fones software or get some new features. Its suggested to have the latest one for an effective use. This message was posted from a T630

to check firmware u press:

joystick right, * , joystick left, joystick left, *, joystick left, *

Then click service info and then sw information and ure fw version is the first 6 characters eg R3C002 or R4C004 or R6C005 or something like that. And if u bought ure fone 15 days ago it probably has a rather new firmwarre but you can never be sure. it depends when they got the fone. if they sold u an old stock, then it prob has an older f/w

edit: yes you visit a sony ericsson service center and if ure in warranty they upgrade your fone for free

dont expect too much though. it wont add any major feature to your fone! i think newest firmware R6C006 ugrades the screen and the camera and makes it a bit faster. I might be wrong though...
