It might just be me being a bit thick and quite new to the wonderful world of Ericsson and the T68, but could someone be nice and dumb down this whole upgrade thing for me please.
All I keep reading about is new games, updates, software, R2B and other stuff that is just flying straight over my head.
Could someone explain this thing to me in simple terms and say what it is you actually get with the upgrade. That way I can work out whether it will be worth getting.
Cheers

For the Layman.

Your T68 has software that tells it how to work. This software can be changed (upgraded). The 'new' software called R2B in U.K gives you a new game and slightly more reliable GPRS connection (apparently). If you would like to have this software changed on your T68 you send it to ericsson and they will do that free of charge.

Forget about all the MMS stuff until thats a month or so away.

The software-upgrade thats out now is R2B.

Here there are some differences in the games. E.g. you get a game called Naval Fleet.

You have 8 games in this software :
---------
Arimona
Contrary
Erix
Four piles
Naval fleet
North territory
Q
Yukon struggle.
-------

Also in "fun &games menu" :
The animated pictures, you now have 15 pictures.

--------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------

The NEXT upgrade should be the MMS-upgrade on the 4th. march,..this is the big one, with e.g.

mms
photoalbum
screensaver options

and a lot more

---------------------------------------------


Thats basically it

So is the up-grade actually worth getting?
My GPRS seems to be working ok,maybe a bit slow at times, but I've just gotten used to it. The main change is the extra games yeah?
Might just have to go to my local Vodafone store and see what they have to say.
Cheers for explaining it to me.
