I did it to my much-loved w900i and it killed the phone function. Only by using the wired handsfree kit can calls be made/received. Bluetooth was also dead. With over 20 years of experience in IT software and integration, I was very careful about doing things correctly. Still, after a smooth, no-hiccups update, the phone is rendered useless except for the walkman part. Did the update over 10 times using 4 different PCs with numerous resets - all to no avail. Gave it up and traded it for a Nokia N95 8G. Sony Ericsson's hotline staff told me I should have read the disclaimer on its update service screen. Well, silly me.

I have MSc in Telecom and it took me several days to actually update the phone. The procedure for Updating is sooo complecated that I decided to unistall all that software from my PC and wait while iPhone is available in Sweden where I live. P990i is a piece of crap.
