Guest mcwarre Posted February 24, 2004 Report Posted February 24, 2004 Cool, But how long till (if) O bring it out???
Guest verbetex Posted February 24, 2004 Report Posted February 24, 2004 If this really happens and Orange release it (Fingers crossed), how would the upgrade be installed? Would we need to send our phones back to orange for them to install it? Or would we be able to download and install it ourselves?
Guest mcwarre Posted February 24, 2004 Report Posted February 24, 2004 Verbetez, It would be a download off the web then transfer via datacable same as SPV updates....
Guest lutzh Posted February 24, 2004 Report Posted February 24, 2004 ...how & when will be defined. all important is: it will be there. and you know how it is: once its somewhere it will be here too. no matter what a carrier is planning. i'll try to get my hands on it asap and i'll let you know then... cheers, lutz

Guest phonesmarts Posted February 25, 2004 Report Posted February 25, 2004 YAY! 2 months! we should have a countdown meter for the ?official? image of WM2k3!
Guest coyspiracy Posted February 25, 2004 Report Posted February 25, 2004 how do you know that its in 2 mos?

Guest calvin03 Posted February 25, 2004 Report Posted February 25, 2004 anyone here can teach me how to make a backup of my ROM image ??
Guest meatgrinder Posted February 25, 2004 Report Posted February 25, 2004 gr8 news lutzh, how do u get this stuff? cant wait, i hope ya rite :) Dave
Guest coyspiracy Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 well, i guess there's no upgrade for the mpx200. sux big time.. :) :D :D
Guest Maverick Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 Well.. msmobiles is saying that the upgrade will not be available. He has picked the "quote" from a Vice President in Motolorola.
Guest phonesmarts Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 well, i hope there is...either that or give us discounts for the mpx220 (or 300, or 100)...like a trade in thing, trade in your working mpx and get a rebate for a newer model (trade in trade up)
Guest Shuflie Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 Reading between the lines of the interview with the VP from motorola I be inclined to believe that it doesn't rule out an upgrade to WM2003. What was actually reported was Tatelman said that there will be no ROM upgrade to Smartphone 2003 - he is 100% sure about it. He said at least as far as individual users are concerned - indicating that some corporations may get the Smartphone 2003 upgrade for MPx200 but certainly not regular individual users! To me this looks more likely that motorola will not be dishing out the upgrade to individual users, but no ROM upgrade on the SPV was ever given out by the manufacturer either, they have all came through Orange. The fact that motorola won't be giving out upgrades to users makes sense since the operators need to customise it for their users, imagine the number of complaints there would be if you used orange backup to save all your contacts, upgraded to WM2003 from an image released by Motorola, and then found out that you no longer had access to orange backups to retrieve your contacts again. Would be a disaster just waiting to happen.
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted February 27, 2004 Report Posted February 27, 2004 well, i hope there is...either that or give us discounts for the mpx220 (or 300, or 100)...like a trade in thing, trade in your working mpx and get a rebate for a newer model (trade in trade up) We all said that after the E100 was released but nothing ever came of it :)
Guest chrisc28 Posted February 28, 2004 Report Posted February 28, 2004 It's already 28th February, so is there any news yet? I can't attend the session cos I'm not "priviledged" enough. :)
