Previously we had heard that Satio had been pulled out from some UK retailers due to software glitch problem. For this time it seems that the phone has got the solution with the announced firmware update, R1CA037.

According to gsmarena.com, Sony Ericsson representative told that this latest firmware update would be announced as soon as possible to the public once the uploading process had finished. Currently they are uploading all the needed files and scripts to the net.

There are some specific firmwares from the operators, so it will need time before those all are up. However you can check out whether you are the lucky one for getting the update early. For you who have not yet owned Satio and would like to get one, you should be happy with this, as the Satio’s issue has been solved right now.

Sory for late post about this news. USEB has posted news about new firmwares for W960, the K850 and W910. These phones have just received an update to fix some of the problems and bugs in the firmwares. While  we have not noticed many bugs in W960, the K850 and W910 does indeed pack quite a few, especially because they were among the first A200 offerings. Wituh new K850i firmware, it’s much faster in general, no more lagging in Media, new effects and much faster working in Media, 3D games in particular run much more smoothly now. The camera has been much improved as well, and same goes for video recordings. Another fine new feature is that you can set the phone to vibrate when using the touch sensitive buttons – this works quite well.

Now for some technical stuff. The K850 firmware is called R1EA031, and is not a major release. The W910 firmware is called R1EA030, and has pretty much the same improvements as with the K850. The W960 firmware CDA is called R6G02.

A commenter at the SE blog, has just posted about an upcoming firmware release for the K850. The new firmware will called R1DA038 and it looks like there will be some major improvements on the camera side. The current camera version is 2.9, while the new firmware’s camera version will be v. 3.4. Video call camera is the same. I hope this news is true since the current R1CA037 doesn’t fix the problems at all…

Update: The new firmware finally available at SEUS, but only for selected country, and only work on unbranded phone.

Here the firmware highlight:
