O2 K700i - online firmware update possible from SE?

I should be getting my new k700i soon from o2 online (uk), a
refreshing change from nokia hopefully!

My question is if i were to get a syncstation DSS-25 for about £15 on
ebay.co.uk, hook it and the k700i upto the pc would i be able to use
the online firmware update service without any probs?

TIA,

Chris

It wouldn't work for me a week or so ago, even though a mate's O2
retail/high street phone did update ok.

Mixed messages on the Esato forums (SE website), with (IIRC) O2 saying it
was a bug and should be possible soon and SE saying O2 Online are never
going to support online updates. I'd keep checking there for updates if I
were you (http://www.esato.com/board/viewforum.php?forum=2)

No, the O2 service doesn't currently support the online update feature.
However I have herd that they may in the future but this is not a certain
fact.

Mine is an o2 branded phone and i couldnt do a online update, however
Hays Technology at Banbury, oxon. did the update for me and now I have
better battery life, no problem with receiving texts and generally the
phone responds better.

The firmware they updated to was R2L. Give them a ring on 01295662101
I for one would recommend having it upgraded and by them.

It is now possible to debrand the phone using a T28 _*SERVICE*_ cable
and the software and credit from www.faceoffmobiles.com and various
others. Once decustomised, you can apply further firmware updates
through the synch station.
