What's the advantage of updating to the latest firmware?  I can't find
any specific info over the net.

It would appear that the update is dependant upon your CDA number.
I key my CDA number in and get the following :-

For CDA162004/29, the latest organiser version is R3A06. Now you need to
compare this version number with the one in your phone.

Just curious, what country you in? What language is your phone? Where was
your phone sourced from. It is interesting that updates are dependant on
CDA number (whatever CDA stands for)

It would be interesting to know what the release notes are.

I'm in Canada but I actually bought my P900 in Italy (it's SIM-free) and its
CDA is 162003/2. I believe SE may only offer updates that have been approved
by carriers.

So, if you bought a phone subsidized by/locked to your carrier, you will
only be allowed to update it once your carrier has approved the newer
version.

I think this is when de-branding a phone comes in handy.

Makes sense.
My phone is not locked to a carrier but I guess that your approval idea
applies in my case.

Well, looking at the change log, there is nothing in there that I use
anyway. If they would fix the stupid non-sync of Annual Repeating events
in Outlook, then I would be jumping in.

Thanks.
