The first phone was hardware R3A and had a manufacture date of 02w8. The second phone is a R1B, 02w10. how can this be so. Does R1B stand for the hardware version or is it a code to indicate where it was made? How can R3A be behind a R1B in the date of manufacture. What hardware and manufacture dates do you guys have. mrNoodles Joined: Feb 28, 2002 Posts: > 500 From: Sweden PM Posted: 2002-04-25 18:22 R1B is the HW version. Its "older" than R3A or at least should be. When improvements are done in design and tech. specs. they change the R-state on the product. _________________ - mrNoodles - [ This Message was edited by: mrNoodles on 2002-04-25 18:24 ] Access the forum with a mobile phone via esato.mobi New Topic Reply
