Hi.

I bet many of you guys are going to service centers today to check if you can upgrade your T68. Please report your results here! Did you get the upgrade? New features? Comments? Faster T9? What's the status??? Tell and share your results here!

Thanks!

Hi guys,

I live in UK and have called up SE UK technical support and Intec Cellular (Large well established distributor and repairer) in UK and they confirm no new release.

The guy from Intec said they get briefed a few days before the launch SE said they will release it in march and are waiting for vodafone, the 1rst UK network to release MMS so the new SW can be released instantly!

I challeneged the SE guy and he was quite pissed off with me - He asked me why I need an upgrade in a rude way and did not assist me in a humane manner! I think T68 owners have pissed SE SCs very much and they can't take any more callers asking for MMS LOL!!

Well i doubt its out today but definately in march - It is unofficially released but 100% ready, waiting for Vodafone UK's release. I also think that some parts of the world may receive MMS SW earlier as its more a network dependant launch....

Who knows.... Oh well i guess i wont be going to Intec today!

I just called my dealer (Ericsson Authorized one...), and the Lady at the phone was kinda, well, how do I say that. This way: I know she's really cute, but she definitely shouldn't work at such a shop... Well, she said they had the latest release, but she wasn't able to give any details about it... I'll check the store this evening, hoping they have it...

Oh, btw: The new Software seems to be R1A, but DO NOT CONFUSE THIS WITH THE ORIGINAL R1A!
