What does this mean? I can update my 8703e OS with this 7130e update?

[jibi]

This is the 8703e software. I simply said they also updated the 7130e software as well. And yes, you can update your Verizon 8703e with this software (although you may be the first in the world to do so).

Great work jibi...Nice find...

have you had the chance to examine the package? Any noticeable changes?

Where can we get the release notes?

[jibi]

Release notes are only released by T-Mobile Europe to my knowledge. No other carrier, unless you're a major account and request the information from your rep, makes this information publically available. The themes are the same from the previous release to this one. Aside from that, nothing else I can really look at.

Sprint 8703e OS will work on the VzW phones as well?

i cried on the inside. a little.

I read that the newer version S/W is required to run TeleNav GPS services S/W on the Sprint BB's. Haven't heard anything else.

[louieguy]

Will updating the Verizon 8703e with Sprint's firmware enable the GPS function? (It's to my understanding that the Verizon 8703e has GPS capabilities but that it's only enabled for emergency use only.)

[TreyS]

OK, who will be first to test this out? :P

Next question, if we run the Sprint OS on the VZW 8703e, is there any GPS software that we can use to take advantage of the new OS?

Just curious......

Does anyone know if this version increases the speaker volume. I'd love to get the 8703 as load as the 8700c (telstra).

Just try it. Seems like no one is reporting anything back. Might as well give it a go - only takes about 40 mins total, and a rollback takes about 15-30 mins.
