I would suggest using the F3 firmware instead of the sv200e3 that you have. The F3 is newer and has a much smaller font. You can get F3 and the DIY software from Blueboy's site at:
http://samsungv200.mysite.freeserve.com/
If you get a Lycos/Tripod page read it's not an error page it's a referal page. It will take you to the software. I think the V20BDXF3 link takes you directly to the download screen. The DIY link goes through the Lycos page.

OPTIFLASH3.6
BACKING UP YOUR FIRMWARE (make sure your phone is off).
A. Unzipped these files to a folder. Open the optiflash.exe file and go to Options=>Settings=>Read. Clear all the information from the Read Range field and add the following:
0x00000000 - 0x00001fff
0x00004000 - 0x00ffffff
B. You can save the file to whatever name you want in the Save File field. The default name is C:\BACKUPSAVE.sre. Click OK
C. Go the Com Port tab and for the first Comp Port select the correct port that your datacable is connected to. For the second COM Port select none.
D: Go to the Generic tab and select Samsung SGH-V200 in the Specify Hardware Platform field and press OK and it should bring you back to the Optiflash - [Default] box.
E: Connect your phone to the datacable and click on the Read button. Then press the power button on your phone. *Note that your phone will not be on but the program should start backing up your rom.
F. After this is done you should get a message that says "Complete!!! / All is Well" in the log.
FLASHING YOUR FIRMWARE (make sure your phone is off).
A. Go to file (Open) and select the file you want to flash
B. Click the Flash Button.

Upload it to another version?
Sometimes you get more functions sometimes less.
Thats why you should back your firm up.
