If its the MMS-software upgrade, then you will loose e.g. phonebook, voice-commands, shortcuts, settings.
You should do a back-up before getting the mms-upgrade.
On Ericsson-phones you usually dont loose all this, but the mms-software is very different, and it was told by SE, that settings will be lost on this specific upgrade.

MultimediaMessageService.
You can add pictures and sound to your SMS, it will cost more to send them. And the network must support MMS.

You could call it an advanced SMS/EMS message. Its a multimedia message system.
Text from T68i site :
With Multimedia messaging you can add a huge variety of content to your messages - colorful images, animations, formatted text and recorded sound clips.
Works on 2.5G (gprs) and 3G (UMTS) networks.
You can read about it on SonyEricssons site, and watch a demo.

The last time I upgraded sw version from R1C to R2B.  service centre reset my phone. Every single setting was gone except joystick count.
Luckily, I made back up all data in Microsoft Outlook and "Christersson's phonebackup"

i would not hurt you one bit if you do a simple backup. it is always better to be safe than to regret it afterwards.

Christenssons phone backup is great. However it can't backup the sms messages, the wap and gprs passwords (probably for security reasons), and christensson must have a non mms version, cause it won't backup mms settings.
I flashed my t68 last week, and mms message server settings were gone, phonebook remained, filesystem's gone (pictures / sms messages / mms messages / ringtones / themes). |

I cant extract the backup program, ant suggestions?
The error mess says something of enough space, but I´ll more than 500Mb free on the specified drive.
The program seems to really rock in all ways, but I´m a litte sad that I cant get it to work

BlumX > yep I'm sure.
SE gave this info in an article a while ago.
Usually with"normal" upgrades, all your settings will be there after the upgrade,..I did this several times,..I never lost my settings.
BUT with the mms-upgrade, SE told that settings will be lost, once upgrading.
Its because its a major upgrade. A lot of things are being moved around, and a lot of new stuff/menues are added.
I have both T68i and T68m, and the software on those two are very different, also menues and so on.
---------------------------------
Mr Noodles > I did download the back-up program from Christersson.org some time ago, but I've never used it,..so I dont even know if it works ?
