Guest np27np27 Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 http://msmobiles.com/news.php/1919.html Yo guys check out the above link. I hope this is not true. If it is our MPX200's will be useless to new apps and games within a year! :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest beersoft Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 this was just a rumor from the news groups (and its old news) No ROM upgrade to Smartphone 2003 for Motorola MPx200 January 05, 2004it has now been confirmed that there might be an upgrade to wm2k3 msmobilenews.com: We confirmed that the MPx200 model will have an upgrade to Smartphone 2003 released from Motorola. The one caveat given was that while Motorola will release it, it will be up to the carriers to release it to their customers after customizing for their branded units later Owen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JOEJOETHEJOEY Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 I sure hope that's true beersoft! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest np27np27 Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 Woo Hoo! I thought it was a bit strange that they were no gonna release an upgrade. Cos they refer to the operating system as 2003 in the manual! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mcwarre Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 it has now been confirmed that there might be an upgrade to wm2k3 Owen, I am not being funny but 'confirmed' and 'might' in the same sentence = *rumour*. Can you honestly see O getting round to this after the length of time it took them to release the 1.6 update for the SPV / SPV E-100? I think we will all be on 3G by then! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PDAZealot Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 Such fearmongering out there. Is the upgrade for real? Yes, 100%. It has already been finished by Motorola actually, and is just being final tested by the carriers. Now, you do bring up one good question: When will the carriers release it? ATTws in the USA has committed to releasing it in Q2 2004. No word on Orange, and Motorola has stated that it is up to the carrier when they release it, if at all. Some will, some won't. Sucks, but C'est la vie isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 Is 2003 really needed on the mpx200? and I mean really needed. The only thing I want moto to do is to fix the keyboard drivers as they have screwed them up to be almost unusable for special games in development :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PDAZealot Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 you bet it is needed. how about all the apps being written for it? how about faster? how about checking more than one mail account in separate containers? less crashing? more ie features? it is a worthy upgrade to be sure. hey dont upgrade if you dont want to but i am sure that most people will want to. :-) Posted from my SmartPhone!

Guest awarner [MVP] Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 Faster; not proven the mpx as is is runs faster than the E200 as it is. Email; agree for some Less Crashing; with all the playing around with the phone I'm doing, I'm still waiting for my first crash. More features; not many new features at all the only thing that may be possible is to be able to use BT SD card but that is ok as long as you don't need your storage card for anything.

Guest pradaboy Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 one thing I've learned: never trust msmobiles news... they post a lotta s*** so never rely on it. ask yourself one thing... if Motorola won't bring out a 2003 update they'll lose favor in the customers opinion... and if they don't do it some whizkid will find a way!

Guest scott2eyes Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 Given that up to at least a month ago, Orange were advertising the MPx200 as runing Smartphone 2003, I think it would be a very silly move for them not to release it to their customers!

Guest ClintEastman Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 That's life I am afraid, still don't envisage keeping the MPx200 for a moment later than the first MPx220 is released..... 8) 8) Even if it has an arial? I would find it a lot more useful to NOT have an arial (keep my phone in my pocket) than having a camera (lets face it the quality is never great on them, spv being the best yet).

Guest PDAZealot Posted January 17, 2004 Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 Okay people, let's remember one thing: Let's not compare different platforms of Smartphones, as that is not valid. Microsoft has stated that on the same platforms, all things being the same, Smartphone 2003 will run about 20-30% faster, and have less crash issues. That alone is worth it to me. Enough said.

Guest markdotpeters5 Posted January 17, 2004 Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 below is a reply from Motorola customer services; "Dear Customer Thank you for contacting Motorola. This is expected to be available in February, we are at present awaiting the upgrades from Microsoft. For any further assistance or information please do not hesitate to contact us again, quoting your reference number. Motorola Cellular Response Centre (UK) ----------------------- my original e-mail "Dear Sir/Madam, I recently purchased the Motorola MPX200, with which I am very impressed indeed. However, I would like to know if you plan to release an upgrade to Smartphone 2003 at some point. I was informed this was the case at the Orange shop, but can find nothing official from yourselves. Many thanks Mark" Just my 2p! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lawsonium Posted January 17, 2004 Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 Nice post siksik6, it's one of those 'feel good' posts. I just hope that it comes to pass. I like the MPx200, it would be good to know that it has a future as far as keeping up with new handsets. If the MS propaganda about 2003 being 20-30% faster on the same platform is to be beleived then all the better, in fact any improvement is worth it. Thanks again siksik6, keep us informed. Matt.

Guest adamski Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 Is it really only me that remembers phone with room for5 or 10 names, ONE ring tone and a battery life of less than a day? (well, about 4 hours for my first one!!) I would like an upgrade to 2003 sure, but as I only have this phone for a max of 10 months before I upgrade handset again I am sure my sleep will not be disturbed :lol: I have had NO crashes, or lock ups in the two months I have had this phone my SEp800 locks up at least once a week. If it aint broke, don't fix it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rchiileea Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 Dear Customer Thank you for contacting Motorola. In response to your enquiry regarding the MPx200. 1. Smartphone 2003 is pending once it has been arranged with Microsoft. 2 and 3. There are no plans at present for a SIM unlatched MPx200. The reason is that Orange paid for exclusive rights to release this phone initially. However, once this period has expired there should be SIM unlatched units available to the general public.
