John,

I am a bit confused by this. Perhaps you can clarify it for me. I have d/l both the SmarTone and AT&T 8820 OS software identified here. They are:

SmarTone:

Applications: 4.2.2.160
* Software Platform: 2.4.0.70
* File name: 8820CJK_PBr4.2.2_rel287_PL2.4.0.70_A4.2.2.160_Smar Tone_Vodafone_(Voda_HK).exe

and AT&T

Applications: 4.2.2.169
* Software Platform: 2.4.0.67
* File name: 8820M_PBr4.2.2_rel305_PL2.4.0.67_A4.2.2.169_AT&T.e xe
* File size: 79.88MB

When I look at the 8820 >Options>About, I see the 4.2.2.160 (Platform 2.4.0.70) currently loaded on the device.

When I looked at the AT&T package, I see the version should be 4.2.2.169 (not sure what the differences are). As the AT&T version at 4.2.2.169 is higher than the SmarTone 4.2.2.160, I expected to be able to load the AT&T version, but the DM indicated the AT&T version was actually a step down and warned me before I loaded it. I can only conclude the platform 2.4.0.70 (SmarTone) is actually higher than platform 2.4.0.67 (AT&T) and the version on the device is not what DM uses. What am I not understanding? Thanks for any insight you may have.
