T-Mobile WM2003 Update Delayed!

[ronin]

Got through a long conversation with level 5 tech@ T-mobile and he indicated the T-Mobile release is due in 2-3 weeks.

They had some significant issues with a patch they had for the announced release scheduled for this week and removed the page from their site because they are getting "hundreds" of calls per day.

:roll:

Those wieners! But at least they're working on it.

While it would be nice for them to get the thing out the door right away, I think we'll all be happier if they get it right and make us wait a couple of weeks :-P

...(I don't know about hundredS of calls a day, but i know i put in a good 99 per day) 8)

:P

I'm having a problem with my phone - called today and T-Mobile is supposed to be sending out a replacement (Oops, guess I'll have to revert to the 2002 OS before I return this one!)

Anyway, it will be interesting to see what comes on the new one. I'm pretty sure it'll be PPC 2002, but who knows maybe it'll have 2003 on there - though I doubt it.

I would also be surprised as they are probably sending you a replacement that was 'loaded' a few weeks before now. They probably have hundreds of PPCs with 2002 and I really doubt that they will reload them with the new OS, they will just let the new owner do that.

Sorry. But, hey, maybe we are wrong?

I'm not too concerned about what OS it has on it. Not like upgrading it is difficult. But something updated would be nice just for the "ooh!" factor. :-D

I actually just went through a replacement this week with T-Mobile. The phone I eventually received had PPC2002 on it. Beware though - the first replacement phone I received from them was a cheapo Motorola, so they sent the completely wrong phone. I had to order another one and wait a few more days til I received the correct replacement.

Gb.

I work for T-Mo and noticed that we are to sell through our existing inventory and ordering is supposed to cease for the current PocketPc due to lack of supply. I'm sure that what is really going on is that they want us to sell through the models with PPC2002 while they get the final product of WM2003 ready to ship. Makes sense... out with the old.. in with the new..

I am pretty sure the RS will still have many bugs for us to work around. It is the nature of the beast.

I am waiting for information on the new device t-mobile will be launching with WM2003, 802.11 and Bluetooth "capabilities" ( I alwasy worry when they say that!)
