Guest Mr Orange Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 The final build of a new RUU tool and the 1.61 build have just been sent to Microsoft for NSTL approval, we are also in the process of testing the new RUU tool internally to ensure that their are no failures during the upgrade process. The new RUU tool will ensure that user data is backed up before the update takes place and then restores the data back to the handset once the update is complete. Therefore barring no natural disasters I fully expect the update to be available by Wednesday the 10th of Dec at the latest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mr Orange Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 Well ill be happy if you stick to this date---if not there will be alot of very pissed off people. (sorry--more pissed off people) Nothing in life is certain, NSTL could be hit by an earthquake etc. I wouldn't have posted the date if I wasn't very confident that it would be met.

Guest Mr Orange Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 I believe that a list of the changes in this update will be posted with the update, however I think Paul would also be able to shed some light on the changes that have been made as he has been using 1.61 for a while. Number 1 of course is the updated MSN client. New GSM radio stack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mr Orange Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 Will this update be available in other countries such as Switzerland or France? I expect the Orange FR build to be available in the same time frame as the Orange UK build. With regards to the updates for NL DK and CH I have not yet had a confirmation on their availability. As soon as I have some news you'll be the first to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curses on the old nokia 5210 I have to use until then. *Paul - any news on what else this upgrade will do for us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest midnight Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 well, for a start it has a working sms char counter :lol: and from my experience shows the egg timer much less often (if at all), and does seem faster, especially going through menus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rolywalter Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 Mr. Orange, could you clarify which models this update will be for? Is it just the E100 / SPV or is it directed also at the E200? Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest donniebrasco Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 Sounds all good. Speed was a bit of an issue once the phone had been modded in any way. GPRS fix will be welcome with the new stack and MSN is much missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xanadu Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 and from my experience shows the egg timer much less often (if at all), and does seem faster, especially going through menus Thanks midnight... I could have boiled a million eggs when I keep seeing that egg timer.....I am looking forward to a change of diet :lol: :D :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest superkingdave Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 At least this staement from the Christmas issue of the Orange Brochure will be true from 10th Dec "Did you know that you can keep in touch with all your friends online by using MSN Messenger on your SPV E100" :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest morpheus2702 Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 Posted from my SmartPhone! well I'll be banging a drum and hugging trees when the update is here, be that on the 10th December or otherwise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mattscholey Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 See, now we've been given a date, we're all happy. It may be 10 days away, but atleast we know it's coming, and we aren't vaguely wondering when, if at all, the update will ever turn up. Improved speed sounds very promising, as that has been my main gripe with my phone. And MSN will be great when we've got it back. Is there a fix for the GPRS dialling problem in the update? Thanks, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
