The initial firmware update fixed those bugs, but "broke" the battery meter. The 2nd firmware update fixed the battery meter again (but it took them about 4 months to do so!).
Sorry, your right... there were two, I forgot about that. However, I never read RTF's so never had a problem.

However, the person I replied to was implying that Sony and Amazon don't even do firmware updates, which is just not true.
