SE K850i New Firmware: APAC-ANZ R1EA031

Finally, after a long wait, new SE K850i firmware for my region (APAC-ANZ) is available on SEUS. It has been 3 weeks since I bought this K850i, but it's feel like a year waiting for the new firmware. It feels so long because of old firmware's (R1CA037) has very poor java performace, and because of R1DA038 'branded' firmware has been released with amazing java improvement since December '07!

Here is the complete new software version:

Sony Ericsson W910: Best Handset?

We know Sony Ericsson W910 has won in the “Best handset” category at the 2008 Global Mobile Awards. I think it's pretty amazing W910 can beat all it's competitors. Because, behind the all goods about this phone, there are a lot of lack of features. Very standard camera performance, bad mono speaker and buggy firmware.
Actually, W910i is one of my wife's cell phones right now. And the phone is already updated to the latest firmware, R1CA039. But, it seems 'restart randomly' behavior is still exists. Not very often, it's happen at least twice this week. Fortunately, my wife can live with that. All she need is stylish cell phone and W910i arguably can pleased her.
Basically, we don't care who's going to be the "Best Handset". It's back to everyone favors and needs.

My SE K850i First Video

I was trapped in the rain. Ironicaly, this is at my office back yard parking lot. Forgot to carry my umbrella.

My First SE K850i Picture

Currently I use R1CA037 firmware. The result is not good as I expected, since this is one of the CyberShot cell phone from Sony Ericsson. The photos uploaded to the blog are limited to 800x600 in resolution, so this photo is not 5MP picture as the original one.
