Motorola MPx220

Did you have to send your .342 first or can you wait until the 1.30 unit arrives? Then do you go to Cingular to activate it or back to BB? Thanks.

Cingular XMB told me that they saw nothing in the record for a new software version 1.3 and that I had to exchange it at BB if I was unsatisfied. I will wait a week or so before trying my next step. In the meantime, any info here will help.

what will the new firmware (1.3?) do that the
.342 didn't fix? Do you still like this phone? I have to decide between the v551 or the mpx220. I just wonder if I'm asking for unending problems with the Mpx220??? anyone have any advice?

P>S> Q. how do they send you the new firmware.
Is it a Cd, new phone etc?

we just bought the mpx 220 from bb with a $300 rebate, if you can make it to bb by 10pm, you can get it for $50. I think it's worth the $, but don't know about the v511.

Be careful driving, if you decide to get it.

we just bought the mpx 220 from bb yesterday. How are they sending you the new firmware, i.e. cd, etc. or do you have to mail your phone to them?

we just got it and don't want to part from it right now, but don't want old software.

Thanks

OK folks, I am a newbie here but based upon the posts to this forum and what I have read at howardforums.com, the 1.30 is the newest software version (firmware). BB and Cingular say that the .342 is fine - no problems. But posts here say that picture and ear volume improve with the 1.30. Once they admit it...ha...the phone will have to be refurbished at the plant...so probably they will send a replacement which we will insert our SIM card into. I got the runaround today so I am going to wait. I ported my Verizon number to Cingular so I still do not have all the features and must wait 72 hours. Sorry for the long post but lets figure out this thing together.

The woman I talked to seemed to not know what I was talking about at first; but after being persistant, she must have looked it up or something. They are sending me the new firmware model in 3-5 business days, along with self addressed postage for me to send the old one back. Then I'll exchange the SIM card and battery and ship mine back. I got this phone from Best Buy yesterday and have experienced the lines in the photos and bad speaker volume, but neither would turn me away from the phone, even though it is annoying. Hoppefully this ROM update will be the last. 😎

what is firmware model - a cd or the sim card? What no. did you call for this info, as we called a 1-800 cing. no and no one seems to know about it. They are saying to call Moto?

We just bought the phones from bb on Friday and hate to mail our new phones somewhere.

Help.

Thanks

I'll be calling in for this new firmaware, as well being that I just purchased this phone on Wednesday. I have noticed that if your Bluetooth is on or your in profile headset, then you'll get te lines in your pictures. I noticed low volume in my bluetooth headset (motorola hs 820), but I adjusted the volume there, as well as on the handset and I haven't had any problems. I'm only having problems syncing outlook with my phone. Can anyone provide me with any assistance?

You're in the same boat as me. I just called Cingular XMB within the last 30 minutes and they told me to take the phone back to BB and request the upgraded version. Hmm....
