does updating the firmware with SEUS wipe the phone memory? Suspect it does... What's stored on the sim? Any way of backing up the phone memory... I have some games installed that I don't especially want to lose!

Exactly the same happened to mine though given that I was at the end of my 18 months contract when it gave up and would only show a white screen, I got a new handset! I presume it is a loose wire or some electrical fault inside. My girlfriend's W550i split in two a little while back and I saw that only two small pins connect the top half of the phone (screen etc) with the main part (keys, battery etc).

all fixed. downloaded the "update service" from the SE website and followed the instructions... all seems to be working fine now.

Never had anything disappear from my phone when I have done an update on my K800. Texts, notes, pictures etc, all still there.
