according to the dude at the service center here in sg, he said that R3B for the T300 is still on the whiteboard, ie. being tested. he's not sure when it will be available, or it might not even be made available...

Finally an explanation for all those contradictions! ;-) Thank you!

Hi,
I'm from Turkey.
Yesterday I went to an official Service Point of SE (TeleService), they refused to upgrade my T300 to R3B version, saying that R3B was only for T310's. Instead, they re-installed R100G version as they know it latest version for T300.
After that, I called SE Turkey Customer Support Center, asked the official latest SW version of T300, they replied again with "R100G is officially the latest SW version for T300".

You told this before, didn't you? Damn, I really want R3B at my T300! @beh, where are you now? Ask Mats about this, will you? :-(

@ sittingbull, thanks, you posted this 3 days ago in this same thread.

This is the reply I got .....
Dear Sir or Madam,
Thank you for contacting Sony Ericsson on the World Wide Web.
Answer:
Yes, there is indeed software available for the Sonyericsson T300 that adds calender and sychronization functionality to the handset, however the software
has not yet been released in South Africa, but is expected in the next month or two.
Please contact us again if we can be of further assistance and also visit our website at www.sonyericsson.com for more information and support on our
products
Best Regards,
/Natasha Ntlati

Question:
Subject: T300
Product: T300
Opinion: I heard that a software update for the T300 is available and that it adds calender and syncing fuctions to the phone. Is this true and where can I
get an upgrade if I live in South Africa.
Thank you

That's great news! If we all just wait a few months, R3B will be available for the T300 worldwide! :-D:-D But their mail also says it is already released in other countries... If anyone got R3B at his T300, please let us all know by posting in this thread :-D

@Mathibus: they are still giving us contardictory information!!! Below in swedish is what Kristina@
answered back when I said that in Indonesia said that R3B was available for the T300 as well:
"För den nordiska marknaden finns det inte någon programvara innehållande kalender till Sony Ericsson T300. Den senaste programvaran för T300 är R1G 001.
Vänliga hälsningar,
/Kristina
Sony Ericsson Customer Care Center"
Short translation reads: For the Nordic market there's no firmware with a calendar for the
T300. Latest FW for T300 is R1G 001.
*L* Maybe they have trouble communicating within the communications company?!?!

So Kristina says there will never be R3B for the T300 in Sweden? But there will in Indonesia?! THAT'S RACISM (at least discrimination)!
Posted by pandemon
No, she just says that there isn't one today. She says nothing about the future.
Posted by MaThIbUs
I guess we'll just have to be patient and wait... (hopefully not too long!)
Posted by aanino
@All
Finally, so we can just only wait and hope that SE will release the F/W for T300 !
Posted by MaThIbUs
...soon! We know they will, but we don't know when!

pandemon just told me that a friend of his, who lives in Holland, got his T300 updated yesterday, and he got R1G. Since Holland is pretty damn close (wink to pandemon ;-)) to Belgium, I think I won't get R3B when I get my phone updated saturday :-(

Sync and calendar for T3x0!
Wednesday, June 25th, 2003
Another great firmware update to refresh your Sony Ericsson! The new R3B for T300 and T310 will add Syncronization of contacts and of the new organizer: calendar and notes
Photo of T310's calendar:

Posted by sexychocolate
many people upgraded ther T3XX. But why is there only this stupid picture available?
I want more pictures please! Also from the new notepad thingy that comes along.
@MaThIbUs
Where in holland do you upgrade it? And are you positive :SE has R3B?
Posted by harrychan
anyone know where in Canada would do the firmware upgrade?I have no idea where the service centers are.
Posted by pandemon
You can look for your local service centres at the
web. http://www.sonyericsson.com

Here is a picture of my calendar. Notepad is just like an unsend SMS. just plain text, to remind u of something. But i think it syncs with outlook.

T310 users are lucky B*@&$%
Posted by jubalong
@aikelo: Well, the notes are actually a bit more than just that - if you push the option button on a highlighted note, you can hang it up on your screen. Then it will be showed as a frame with the reminder on your stand-by screen, hovering above your background picture. It won't override the screensaver, though.
As for the syncing, I haven't tested it as I haven't got IR on my increasingly old and useless laptop... But it seems like it's possible to sync via IR. I was hoping however that a wap sync would also be possible (as it was on my old T65), but haven't found any option for this. And probably won't either - and I really doubt that SE will release another firmware with a major feature upgrade...
Posted by MaThIbUs
@sexychocolate: I'm from Belgium, not Holland :-) To check for service centres, go -as said- to www.sonyericsson.com and use the \"dealer locator\". I don't know if R3B is already released for the T300 (according to this thread it is NOT), I just quoted a newsitem from www.clubsonyericsson.com from end June this year. I think we'll all have to wait just a little more...

Ah, damit. looks like T300 not geting calander:
Dear Sir or Madam,
Thank you for contacting the Sony Ericsson Customer Care Centre.
Regarding your enquiry, the current firmware version of the Sony Ericsson T300
is R1G 001. The T310 does not have a calendar only events (tasks). There will be
no firmware upgrade to convert a T300 into a T310.
Please contact the Sony Ericsson Customer Care Centre again if we can assist you
further.
Kind Regards,
Andrew Kitchen

Well, that's at least 33% bullshit, as the T310 now does have a calendar, and notes as well!
As for a firmware upgrade from T300 to T310, the chances (IMHO) are slim to none (and slim just left town etc). And furthermore, a firmware upgrade for the T300 seems less likely to me, as the T310 more or less is it's successor, and the phone they're aiming to sell in that specific market and so forth and so on. But then again, that's just my thoughts, and stranger things have happened.
Personally, I'd like an upgrade providing synchronization for my T310, though I really doubt it will happen...
Posted by MaThIbUs
But there's STILL hope!!!
At Lordmike's website (http://renegade.w3xs.com) I found this:

I have a T310 with the new firmware and it synchs perfectly fine (calender, notes, contacts) with Outlook using IR or Cable.

@MaThIbUs
I think that info may be out of date because the r520 t39 t65 and t66 do not have astrisks ethier and they have all had there last f/w update.

Lordmike made that site, not me

@Mathibus:
...keep your hair on, I meant WAP sync, not IR sync. I know how to read.

TheRealSpawn: what software do u use to sync ur T310 with outlook?
Posted by TheRealSpawn
http://www.sonyericsson.com/downloads/Package1_1.5.7.exe?traceClick=yes
Sony Ericsson Communication Suite
Posted by xwaiz
Thanks! It works. SE should make the Communication Suite 1.5.7 available for download under T310 support page.
Posted by TheRealSpawn
Yes - they propably dont because alot of phones are not updated to the new firmware yet.
Posted by uwo
Keeping this post alive to wait for someone to report on trying the new 310 firmware on a 300... has anyone tried?
Posted by emanuelj
