Who knows, mate! Even if there are going to be new FW releases, i doubt if they will make any changes except minor bug fixes

The T68i has already some bugs which should be fixed:

No, that was implementated with the R6A. I think that the R7A doesn't bring something new for the users, but there must be a new thing (not a bugfix) because the version-number (not the build number/character !) is risen

Where did you get that document?
This doc is unnofficial right? Because there states that the T68i should have Java & Mophun!!

Thanks

Actually,R7A seems to have much more bugs then r6a my phone has locked down twice today.Once playing Erix,and once on the clock. I want to downgrade my firmware back to r6a.

How does one upgrade to R7A?

Can it be done diy?

If so, where can I get the necessary files? (I assume a RS232 or USB data cable should be enough)

Thats a self-made document with improvements and bugs (I know some are unrealistic, but...). The most things are "caught" from several forums. I've sent the list to S/O/N/Y and became the answer, that the document-link was sent to the developers but nothing more ;-(

JonBob > Nope,..you need some other stuff.
The only way to upgrade is by taking the phone to a SE-service point.

Well, I know that T68i in the latest SW-edition supports bluetooth Handsfree profile Not sure about the R6 version.

T610 will also support both headset and handsfree profiles,..just like e.g. HBH-60 headset.
