Searched quite a lot but did not find any answer and hence posting the question...
Can I update firmware of the K600i using the bundled mini usb type cable ?

ac: no. you need a DSS-25 (comes with a P910)
there was actually a short period time (pre-SEUS II) when that was possible (I actually still have the link to the SEUS mini USB drivers) but they took it down for some reason and when I checked back the following day there was SEUS

Hiya folks, ive got a v600i on the way (branded and locked to vodafone uk) ive got a DSS-25 as i have a p900. What do i need to do to get the v600i unlocked and unbranded to work with 3uk?? Ive done a search and come up with blanks everytime! also would the sw in the v600i stop me from using any of 3's services??
Also would it be benificial to put k608i fw on it??
I look forward to recieving your help

V600 software is a vodaphone exclusive; vodaphone menus, vodaphone preloaded WAP/MMS settings you can't change, etc
the K608 software has customized icons - i believe this is the 3/orange counterpart of the V600. i cant confirm as i havent found one
K600 is the operator-unlocked/generic mass consumption model. preloaded content provided by
this should work with any operator, provided you have the right GPRS/MMS settings
the P900 comes with a DSS-20. Im not sure if you can use that with davinci. the
online update service requires a DSS-25
** then again ive sold my K600 and bought a W600 instead bwahahah

I doubt you will be able to use any of 3's services without the K608i firmware as it uses the browser version (which includes phone name) to supply the pages.
As for changing the firmware you should read this thread harder!
BTW...
The K608i is the 3 version of the K600, I did also read somewhere T-Mobile are using it too.
The V600i is vodafone.
K600 is generic.

I used to own a K600i, I flashed it with k608i firmware using TMS.
Still would not work on the 3 portal. Sold it to a friend on Orange, and bought a refurbished k608i from the phones4u website.
There seems to be something within the secure part of the k600 that is untouched by the k608 firmware, but is changed in the v600 when flashed with k600 firmware.
and just to confirm, my k608 is R2L
