Hi Folks,
I heard a lot about this version R1C...but I never heard if and what the new software fixes. Will the mobile work faster? Are any well known bugs fixed? Are there any new bugs?
I would really appreciate to know, if I should upgrade my software as for now my T68 is working slow but perfectly.
Thanks for any info..
Bye Hulix |

Some bloke at sonyericsson I spoke to on the phone said that there's no need to upgrade because it doesn't actually fix anything - it's just to iron out some issues with the phone companies. Hmmmm, dunno about that from what i've read here.  |

I know for a fact,..that R1C is better at something :
spoke to a guy,..who had problems with wap and gprs,..he then upgraded to R1C. After that it worked a lot better.
So some changes must have occured 
(R1C seems to have some better "network-stuff/connections")
R1C also seems to be a bit faster too than R1B.

I have just upgrade in Italy to R1C and no is little bit faster and better,in Ericsson Italy when you call they tell "you must upgrade you T68...so...,only that know with the Spanish language on my mobile ( I live in Spain) I have a Bug that does not let me send sms longer than 70 words something really anoying,and if you put it as "long sms option) only thing it does is to send 2 or 3 sms and you have to pay for them, instead of a 160 normal you have to send 3 of them,very bad,very bad Ericsson , does anybody knows something about this? |

You mean 70 characters and not words right?
I think the SMS is limited to
160 Latin alphabets/numbers in a single message or for non-Latin alphabets (Arabic and Chinese): 70 characters.

You go to an Ericsson service Point/center. They do the upgrade,..you cant do this yourself.

Will it be possible to upgrade straight to R2 from R1B, do you think? It seems from what I've seen on this site that R1C might fix a few bugs but doesn't provide any new features while R2 will provide quite a bit more functionality. The reason I'm asking is that if R2 is released within a couple of months, I might wait to upgrade my R1B T68 straight to R2.
Thanks

Terry : I guess you could go for a "direct upgrade" to R2, when it arrives.
The question is "when" does it arrive.
I think you can "skip" an upgrade and go further. Or maybe they will make a "double-upgrade" ???
Actually I dont know,..this is just my guess.
In fact I did skip an upgrade on my Nokia (sorry, nasty word in here), and got the newest one.

Yes, you can skip SW upgrades.
This is similar to when you are installing a new version of Windows over the old one. If your computer is compatible, you delete the old os and install the new one.
I haven't had much trouble with Information loss during these upgrades. Not in the same scale as in Nokia. |

Merkur : Okay, I thought so too.
BTW : I never lost any information/settings, when upgrading my ericssons.
But with the 6210, everything was gone
