are you referring to firmware or software? if you are talking about the version that makes your phone tick, then it is called firmware. are you telling us that you indeed have R3A023 because it is displayed in your phone's service info and you would like to find out if this is the latest firmware version, or you would like to find out what your firmware version is?

a) if you indeed have R3A023, and you would like to find out if this is the latest firmware, then maybe it is. most of us here have R2E006. you may want to check with your service point to confirm.
b) if you want to find out how to determine the firmware version of the phone, you can check the FAQ.

i guess you have the most recent firmware then. maybe you would like to share what's is new? unless you already got your phone with that version of the firmware.

i apologize if i sounded negative.

jeez dude cut the guy some slack... all he asked was what software version he had, yes software version !! that's what it's called in the faq for your info, and btw being a software engineer I can tell you that "software version" applies to a "firmware" since the ROM is flashed with software thus it is a software version. can't people be a little friendlier here ?!

just for the record my firmware on my t68i (bought in the US in April I think) is firmware/softwareVersion R2A014

I upgraded my phone last friday with R2F006, and that was brand new then.
Strange if they have released a new sw so fast

Just to stick my oar in...

From what I gather from other posts to this board the state of GSM networks in the US leaves a lot to be desired in places, so perhaps have released more s/w versions in the States to accomodate bug fixes with the various networks..?

I have a T68i with R2E006 preloaded - if anybody in Europe has a later version please write here and let us know what the updates are!
