How do I check which version I have on my Xperia 8, & what advantages are there to me if I update it?

Also, I have a 2gb memory stick. Will it take a higher capacity stick?

Thank you.

Right, thanks, I found it. My version is already 2.1-update 1, kernel version is 2.6.29 so I expect it's pretty much up to date. As my 2gb card is almost full, is it like a pc which slows down when the hard drive is almost full? If I insert a larger caopacity card but still only use 2gb will it work any faster? I especially find some books in Aldiko reader are a bit slow. Reading a book is fine, but I have a large refernce book on & it takes a while to locate the right page.

Thanks for your help
