I got my phone upgraded to the new MMS software. It's R1A not to be confused with the release R1A that never got shipped for the T68.
This software is near production, and is jamming. New icons, better battery stand-by time status reporting, screensaver, MMS (of course), picture phonebook, Battleships (a new game, and definately the best ever made for a cell-phone), possibility to store loads of pictures (I have about 70), new music composer (where you also can add special effects; turning leds on/off, backlight on/off buzzer on/off, set volume etc), possibility to save more than 1400s of speech notes, themes (you cannot make new themes on this software, but for the next release you can. You can still send the themes to another T68 with the same software), post-it notes, SyncML, possibility to transfer actual music clips for MMS(low quality 8khz) and the transfer goes two ways(phone<->PC).
This is what I've found so far, after using it for one day.
This excellent phone, just got better.
It rocks!!!
Also, latest I heard of a release for this software was March. And no, you cannot get hold of this release before that (at least I cannot help you).

Just to make sure I got it right... this is some sort of beta version of the software that will be released in 2 months or so, and you got it installed on a standard T68, so on the old hardware? I was thinking about waiting to buy a T68 because I assumed that fancy SW would come on new HW with more memory or so added... but I guess that's not necessary then? |

There is NO SUCH THING as new hardware.
If there would be, they are going to change the name... like T20s -> T20e.
Thats the fact period.

They can make changes to the hardware. Remember that there is also a hardware revision due for release with the the new MMS software.
Hardware revision should clear up the soft sticky button situation and a few other build quality issues. |

I was this version i was talking about. And nobody understood. The persons that work at can have it to test it out before we get it. So that it will be a stabile good software for us. |
