How long until we get a release of 4.2 device software for the 8700??

No one knows for sure, but as soon as someone on the forum knows, so will everyone.

OS 4.2.1 will be out soon for the Pearl and 8700. Per BGR, there was a reference to it in the Vendor.xml file for the 8800 software. I would say by the end of March for both devices.

I was told that too by a software vendor. He said that is giving more issues than the 8800 OS.

i have been running 4.2 beta for 3 months or so...very stable......media player is useless except for tiny tube videos, but sure am glad for picture calling, being able to attach files and pics to emails, and voice notes. pretty happy right now , think ill wait for wifi and camerea from tmo..........................(8820)..besides gps and sd storage my 87oog has all that the 8800 has.

Would you care to point me how to download the beta version?? Give me a link or a website? The 4.3 desktop is out on tmobile's website, but i can't find the 4.2 handheld anywhere. I know some of you have it so PLEASE share! lol.

Thanks to everyone who helps me out

Not available to the public, wish I had a beta of it as well.
