Best place for themes is www.zedge.net you have to register (it's free) and it's packed with themes for Sony Ericsson phones.

What is the new version that has been released?

Used these for my 700,750 and now my 800 no need to register.

SPARKIE1984 · 14-01-2007, 22:07

is it the bit that says: r3bo21? or crh1069179? lol so much stuff on the screen!

iDan · 14-01-2007, 22:14

R3BO21

That's the firmware version.

The other number/code is the branding version.

SPARKIE1984 · 14-01-2007, 22:21

ah right! thanks, well its R3B021 then ......

any way of finding out what changes there are? only thing i notice is when you plug usb cable in, it has phone mode, storage mode and print mode now! hope fully something to fix the battery life?

Print Mode? Sounds like they could have added PictBridge then?

SPARKIE1984 · 14-01-2007, 22:25

it says:
"select pictbridge to print your camera photos usig the usb cable"

i can't see any thing else different though...
by the way know anywhere good to buy an m2 card? searched my local dixons, comet, pc world etc etc and most hadn't even heard of them!!

Yeah, that'll probably be the main difference.

Regarding the cards, not sure.

Vodafone stores do them, but i reckon they'd be much cheaper on Play.com or Amazon.

Hope this helps!

SPARKIE1984 · 14-01-2007, 22:33

thanks a lot, will order one tomorrow!

Cheers for that.

Just updated mine on seus the highest it would let me have was R1ED001 for some strange reason.

Picture messaging is different...better layout and also cable printing as stated above.

selene · 20-01-2007, 18:20

W3W is quite good for M2 cards...

I debranded my K800i recently and got R1GB001 firmware
