What's the deal with firmwar upgrades at Cingular? I am trying to get
the version R1b firmware for the Sony T616, which is supposed to
greatly improve reception and RF performance in marginal GSM areas.
I have tried 3 corporate-owned stores, but they only do firmware
upgrades on Nokies, and tell me I have to call customer service to
have the new firmware sent over the air. However, Customer Service
says they can't do firmware upgrades over the air, and I have to take
the phone to a store. And they have no knowledge of the new version,
they still think R1A is the current version.
Any suggestions?
This was much easier with Sprint. They regularly releases firmware
upgrades for their phones, and any corporate store would gladly
perform the upgrade for free.
