Where can I get upgrade to latest firmware in NYC? Do I have to send it to Ericsson?
Also I remember reading a post about pulling some files off of the romdrive of R1D. Let me know which ones before I upgrade it. |

I don't think you can get an upgrade in New York.
I send my phones to Robb (ke3ee@msn.com) in Pittsburgh, PA for upgrades.
Turn over is quick if you pay for overnight shipping. |

Is the guy from PA a programmer or does he have a store? How much does it cost to upgrade from him? I'm in Jersey |

He used to work for TMobile and my last upgrade cost me $50 excluding shipping.
A company in California currently offers the upgrade at $25 excluding shipping. Turn over is fast as well if you pay for overnight shipping.
People that have sent them their phone are very happy with their service.
