[brian_bunny]

Hi everyone,

Here is the email I have received from the O2 Pacific Asia in relation to the WM2003SE upgrade for XDA II:


Thank you for choosing O2!

With regards to your query below, O2 XDAII is using Windows Mobile 2003 for Pocket PC, & the latest rom version available for upgrade is 1.60.00WWE. Currently, there is still no news the next coming upgrade.

*Windows Mobile 2003 for Pocket PC is the Only licensed copy which O2 XDAII will have, O2 will not support Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition in XDAII.

The latest rom upgrade for O2 XDAII, you could login at www.myxda.com with your username & password & click on 'Get the latest software for your device.'

In any case where the XDAII was upgraded to other 'rom' versions. The warranty of the phone will be void.

All future release of new models of O2 phones' details will be made available for viewing on the main page of www.myxda.com , please kindly refer to it for future updates. Thank you.




Warmest Regards,

Even this would be what I excepted, I still feel a bit sad about what O2 decided to do. Hopefully they will change their mind later!

I think it's kinda template answer for anyone who asks for 2K3SE.

Let's wait and see i guess, Asia Pacific normally don't have more details then the one elsewhere.

I agree that this is just a "standard" answer from O2. However, it may be true as well. As I said, hopefully they will change their mind later. By the way, I spoke to imate customer service and they said that the WM2003 SE upgrade should be avaliable by the end of the year. Hopefully they will do it coz upgrading from XDA II to XDA IIi/s....to me it doesn't worth to do it.

Tekguru has alreday hinted strongly that WM2003SE will indeed be released for current owners. An updated ROM is also around the corner.
