Guest mantrac Posted January 23, 2003 Report Posted January 23, 2003 This might sound completely irrelevant but... ...not sure how many of you had an OnDigital box when OnDigital were about to launch their Digital Teletext services back in the summer of 1999... Everyone was looking forward to the box's software update, that would enable it to receive exciting new digital and interactive teletext content... That update was imminent for more than 5 months and all OnDigital had to say was that it would be available soon with release dates ranging from "next week" to "next month" or simply "soon". Newsgroups were back then flooded with impatient first adopters who couldn't stop hitting that "Auto Update" button in hope of a "next version"... Instead of May, it arrived early October... and it wasn't all that either!! Does this sound familiar to any members of this forum?? :shock:
Guest Pidder Posted January 23, 2003 Report Posted January 23, 2003 Although i have updated mine already (coz i'm swiss :-) i hope the next update is faaaar away (coz my phone works stable with this one and is now without certification).
Guest mantrac Posted January 23, 2003 Report Posted January 23, 2003 (coz i'm swiss :-) They don't call you guys "swiss-accurate" for no reason... We like to take things easy over here... Why get served when you can queue up and wait forever instead! ;)
Guest madu Posted January 23, 2003 Report Posted January 23, 2003 Ha ha ha ha ;) I just had an idea that this update will not be availible until GPRS is no more free. There might be some features in the update that would increase use of GPRS like e-mail attachments. Who knows...
Guest Bazz Posted January 23, 2003 Report Posted January 23, 2003 I reckon that's being a little bit paranoid. Remember eveything with GPRS can be done by running through a passthrough connection to your PC's web connection anyway.
