"this is the stupidest thing i have ever seen

why would spend money developing software for a soon to be discontinued phone?"

This is pure and simple customer support as it should be done!
Plus I'm sure parts of the software package are used in new models !

I went there (SM North Edsa) yesterday. I was so sad. They told me the free upgrade was only until Mar 31. They're charging it now for Php500.00

Customization MS and TAE are network specific customizations to the software that your network has made to the phone e.g. restricting changes to Data Accounts or WAP profiles. These software versions do not usually change and neither does the LCD SW version.

The GPRS channel info can only be activated by SP's that have sufficient access rights on the EMMA server. Not all SP's have this access level so this is probably why your SP said they knew nothing of it. Try another SP but even if they do have access they are not usually very keen to activate it.
