What is the best upgrade I can do on my SE K800i to get the most out of it?

I have a good knowledge of computers but I am new to this with upgrading and modifying phones. I have a Sony Ericsson K800i. What is the best upgrade I can do on my phone to get the most out of it? I am from Sweden. Can I still have the Swedish language on my phone?

there tones of things you can do to your phone,

get latest firmware
apply patches, improve the functionality of the phone
- add functions
- add features
- remove unwanted features
apply elfs, these are advanced patches
load flash menues, screensavers
change drivers of your phone
- change camera driver
- change accoustics (sounds)
- change dispaly drivers

******** LOTS MORE *******

keep an eye on the forums, really some cool stuff

I have seen applications on the forum (SETool 2 Lite, XS++ and FAR) but don’t know what they really do. I guess the first thing I must do is upgrade/change my firmware. Can I upgrade it to K810, K850 or even better? Which application is best for that?

Yes you can convert K800 -> K810 but the tool depend on CID of your phone, so for start just install USB flash drivers and connect phone with XS++ and XS will create log-that log post here without IMEI number and will direct you to wright direction.
Here you have tutorials: USB Flash Driver Installation - Guide - Top Sony Forums
XS++ 3.1 Guide-Flashing, Customizing, Recovering - Top Sony Forums

I found in the guide "1) Converting to CID52 (if required)" but can't find anything about if it's good or bad to upgrade, just that I Can't Revert Back To CID49 Or CID 51.

Can someone help me please? How do I upgrade to K810?

rolf maybe isn't xD

How much better can a phone become after upgrading? Seems to be a solid phone out of the box.

We can't improve it on hardware. Software can make the hardware perform better (camera drivers, display drivers, elfpack)

First of all,let XS++3.1 Darwin to upgrade your CID49 to CID52,because than you can do what ever you want and next thing you can update your firmware with this tutorial XS++ 3.1 Guide-Flashing, Customizing, Recovering - Top Sony Forums and another thing - whan you first time connect your phone with XS(in Xs folder you find log) post log here without IMEI number and don't try to update with SEUS,because you get CID53

Newest firmware usually have some bug fixes and very little improvements

I agree, do a k810 upgrade

flash to k810 and insert patches and elfs

Entourage said in court papers that he suffered a concussion, a ruptured eardrum, a burst blood vessel in his eye and a torn rotator cuff in the July 2005 scuffle with Iverson's security detail. The altercation occurred when the basketball star's entourage attempted to take over the bar's VIP section, according to court papers. No criminal charges were filed.

Piven, the Emmy-friendly star of Entourage,exited the production in December, 10 weeks early, citing health concerns related to mercury poisoning, which Entourage said he got from eating fish. In the statement, the producers noted that Entourage have requested "a wide range of relevant information" from Entourage about his "alleged illness," including "medical records and documentation of Mr. Piven's activities both during and after the run of the show." They also proposed that all information supplied be "subject to a strict confidentiality agreement."
Blige recently guest-starred on Entourage
