@lethal-cassanova - What the heck were you doing back there in Baguio? I am treated like a 'king' everytime I visit Semicon place near my area, the manager there is my drinking buddy - that's why (tehehehehe). Kidding aside, they treat me exceptionally! I am at/in their place almost 24/7 . . . When I have some extra cash in my pocket I buy them some snacks at times - that's why. The service is good, they still follow the 1 hour replace cosmetics/repair software house rules . . . but I don't queue in line, I hand my unit directly to the manager when something needs some fixin'!

@JN, inuman tyo sma mu yung manager
..Anyway, I had my k700i upgraded at Semicon podium after 2hrs they tell me they couldnt do it. They convinced me to send my phone to their main branch and I'll get it back after 3 days..It took me 5 freakin days to get my phone back and still they could not upgrade it! The thing that I hate most is that they keep repeating to me the phone may not be in the same condition after I get it back (Like saying: Pag nasira namin phone mu sori ka!) for me that's a bullshit policy.
I bought a dss-20 for 700 bucks and upgraded my phone to r2l using
online upgrade and it now works like a charm esp. the battery (last 3 days now)

hi. where did you buy the dss-20? is that brand new? did you get a successfull upgrade after the first attempt? i also tried the online update (using dss-20 on winXP SP1) but it took me 3 attempts to get everything right. the first 2 screwed up my phone as in i can't save anything sa phone memory. it says "memory full" even if i still have 42MB free. the weird thing is that the first 2 attempts i did not get any error messages during and after the upgrade. it even said that the upgrade was successful. i even went to Smartnet for a reflash but they couln't fix it also. anyway i tried it for the 3rd time but now i removed my SIM card for the whole process. evrything went well but at the end of the process i got a message "error in communicating with device." i don't know what happened but when i checked my phone it's already R2L and now i can save items in the memory. it's been a week now since i did the 3rd attempt and my phone is still working and haven't found any problems. hope i don't find any.

I was able to get a 2nd hand dss-20 at sm north edsa. I think the shop itself (a cellphone repair center) is located near smartwireless.Yes I was successful on my first attempt and I even tried to do it again to my suprise it went through w/o a hitch
It was my last option since semicon could not upgrade my phone sw problem daw

thanks for the reply. anyway did you remove your SIM card when you used the online update? is your phone working perfectly? i mean have you tried out all features to see if they're all working (like trying to save an incoming file via BT or IR)? what language pack does your K700i have? mine is TAIWAN. btw can i ask for a favor? can you post here the contents of the log file that was created when you went thru the online update? you can also email it to me if it's more convenient. my email is
j4sp33d@hotmail.com. i'd like to compare your log file against mine to see what went wrong with my upgrade. the log file, mySEUSlog.txt, can be found in c:\program files\sony ericsson\update service\log
thanks

Though it was very obvious that the prices of the handsets at Semicon costs about 2K or 3K higher than the ones bought at the 'tiangge' shops, because of the warranty you are after . . . I'm not buying fones there - not practical! The only thing I am always after is their original Nokia and SE accessories . . . and I just forgot to apply me a VIP card (for years now) - to get me some discounts about 10% on my next buys . . . .

I asked Semicon Megamall how much their ICE-25 case is and they gave me a price of about 800 pesos.
Then I dropped by the SE booth in Glorietta. They were selling it fo 675! Siyempre, binili ko na.
So ano yun??? I don't get how they're able to do business if they have prices higher than SE itself!
