I have found an upgrade to the Verizon Omnia i920 and installed it but I haven't noticed anything new.  Anyone know what was changed/fixed?

could we possibly use this to load custom roms?

Wow thanks for posting that.

It will be interesting to see if there is any change (for better or worse) to the phones memory situation. Whoever loads this please share that info and any other pros and cons of loading this so that lazy people such as myself can determine if it's worth the trouble to update.

Thanks.

I upgraded mine using a WinXP machine and the whole thing took less than 10 minutes.

Did you run it in XP compatibility mode?  It's an XP installation program.

Anyone download it and know what the update was for?

So basically those of us who use Win 7 Home Premium are SOL?

Looks like it.  I'm running Home Premium 64bit and it says (straight from MS site):

You are not eligible to download Windows XP Mode. You must have Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise, or Ultimate to run Windows XP Mode. To upgrade visit Windows 7 Anytime Upgrade.


lame....

I am downloading it right now (I told the web site I had Win 7 Pro). We'll see if I can get it to run.

Has anyone noticed what this upgrade includes yet? Does it flash the device when installing?

It wouldn't run on my laptop because it doesn't support hardware virtualization.
