From some exausting searching, it seems that old configuration of 772ER will disappear by end of April, 2010. It's not confirmed yet, but all 772 routes on or after May 2010 are either 2nd or 3rd version of 772 (2nd: lie flat C, 3rd: full flat C, both are 3-3-3 in Y and AVOD on all classes). Yes, SYD/AKL will be upgraded by then as well as ALL European routes. It's great to see KE finally accelerate upgrading work. It takes 3-4 weeks for each 772 aircraft. By May 2010, only a few middle east (CAI/TLV) and Oceanian routes (MEL/BNE/NAN) will be old-config-long-hauls.
4 773-nonERs: we will see upgraded version of it on late Feb, 2010, mainly on ICN-SIN since then. And by August 2010 or so, all 4 773-nonERs will be upgraded (at least no more old config will be seen since then). I guess once 772 work is done, 773 goes to work one by one from May (or June) to Aug. I don't know details about which version of F/C seat will be installed.
333 and 332? I still don't have any idea. Upgrading test on one or two aircrafts will be done before summer 2010 but it seems we won't see many of them until fall or winter 2010. There will come a couple of new 332s in 2010, but maybe not until fall or winter.

I'm flying SIN-ICN in March and the seat map also looks to be a newly configured 777-300 non-ER: one extra business class row.
Are there any seat maps out there yet?

Seatmaps of new 333 and 332 are released on the website but in Korean language site only for now. Not yet for 773 non-ER. 333 and 332 will have roughly 4 rows of prestige plus (170 degree; 2-2-2 in a row) for business class and 1 row of full flat "sleeper" first class (also 2-2-2 in a row). 773 non-ER will be the same (prestige plus and sleeper F) with 5 rows for C and 1 row of F.
