Hi,

Would it be possible for you to post (or message me) if/when the 4.2 software comes out for the 8703e? My rep is very un-knowledgable about these sorts of things. I have some real annoying issues with the 8703e's in my company. Specifically with themes. I'm pretty sure it is a firmware issue as no one else besides alltel customers are having these problems. Specifically, we can not use any 3rd party themes because information on the header bar does not show up correctly. Like the 1X and 1XEV indicators. Very frustrating for some of the people in my company because they never know if they have data connections or not. (Central Wisconsin is not that great for coverage so you can have decent signal but no network access and they can't tell if they have a phone problem or a network coverage problem.)

I've been tempted to load a different carriers OS on a phone to test out if the problem continues but I don't want to brick a phone over this.

If you can't, I understand. I imagine that you are getting barraged with questions/requests being an Alltel Consultant and posting that info on the boards here
