      The firmware flashing method involves releasing the hold slider,taking out the battery,put back battery,slide back the hold,pressing the record,poking the reset hole underneath and the power-on button. All these have to be done "AFTER YOU'VE BACKUP YOUR FILES,CONTACTS ETC". Upon the sign "USB CONNECTED", only then you need to click on ok or continue to update all GPRS CODE and OS Kernel.

        On previous firmwares,when battery is weak,I did lose my contacts and mails everytime.It is recommended to do full backup to .STG into your pc.Thereby restoration will be proper.Battery consumption is faster so I charge everyday.On approaching phone coverage,the phone sometimes turn on by itself on 1.12. Ver 1.15 and 1.18 are non-official classified firmwares which I believe after several search on the futile distribution sites.

                        Who needs better battery for BenQ P50? I guess everybody who has this PPC. I just bought 2600 mAh battery from www.batteryupgrade.com and it is great. This one is bigger than original battery. Same size replacement is 1800 mAh. I tried bigger one and it goes around 4 days! Have a look if you are interested.

                                I thin the reason it doesn't turn on sometimes is the the type of charger you use. I just used a SMT5600 charger I got with Cingular for the first time and it would turn on.

                                    Actually you have to hit the soft reset button and it should be good to go. Stil though very buggy.
