I have R1A, must go to the service point for a hardware upgrade. Is it free of charge?

No it's not free of charge, I hope you were joking. If you want a hardware upgrade you buy a brand new T68i.

R3A here. My phone is only a week old (well, I mean I've only had it a week). Had to upgrade my firmware though, previously on R2B025, now up to date with R2E006. It just goes to prove how long these things are sat in storage, before we get our hands on them!

Regards,

Lee

There are no real differences in the hardware through various revisions, so don't stress, you don't need a new one. Do a search, I think the olny real differences are where different compnents within the phone are manufactured

The later hardware models have better keys, but that's all

I have the R4A, the difference i noticed between it and my oil R1A
is that the keypad and the volume slide dosen't rattel as much when you shake the phone, the battery fits better, and that the elumination underneath the keypad is much more powerful and is to the same intensity, where on the R1A it goes darker to one side (cannot remember if it was the top or bottom)
Good Shit, Bad Shit, It's all Shit

So the real differences noticed between R3A and R4A are:

1) The volume key rattle less

2) The keys rattle less

3) The battery fitts better

4) The key lighting is more powerfull

No more? If any user notices something different please don't dubt to post it.

Thanks to all,

Aren't all these HW-improvements??? Anyway, still nice if they indeed were improved. The clicking sound from the keypad is really annoying when in a quiet place! Is this the same as the "rattling"? Great if this is gone when you upgrade, but I don't believe it until I see/hear it myself.. The clicking sound is in my opinion the biggest disadvantage on the T68i..

I come from Norway and when I go to the EMTS workshop in Bergen, they tell me that the R2A014 I have is the latest SW!! What can I do?? Are there any other places in Bergen where you can get an update?? I do not have a cable or IR/BT.. Will they delete all my contacts, messages and downloaded images?

Cheers!
