Is there an Official T-Mobile UK update for the MDA Compact?

[FloatingFatMan]

Just as it says in the topic, is there any OFFICIAL update to the T-Mobile UK version of the MDA Compact (Magician)? Still running 1.01 here :(

I'd rather use an official update for my phone, rather than a rip. Especially as I don't actually own a card reader so dumping another ROM to my device isn't actually doable for me ATM anyway :(

If not, anyone know why not, or if there are plans for the future? There's an official DE one, so you'd think they remember they sell the damn phone in more countries than Germany!

Cheers

Yes, i'd like to see this information also. I know the instructions to apply roms are available, however i would like to know that T-Mo UK actually support and roll these things out (and therefore have backup support available)

There was news that T-Mobile were releasing a patch at the end of last month. As they are now shipping Compacts with the newer ROMS. I haven't heard if it's out as yet. I just keep checking the website as it should be out any time now.

Well.. I've just phoned em up and asked em, but the girl I spoke too could find no information in her email about any upcoming updates to the ROM...

But then, how often do CS reps get told what's going to happen! :D

I shall continue to hope, but really, there is NO need to keep us hanging like this, not if they want us to bloody stay!

I called T-Mo also. They gave me a number of a 'manufacturer' which was,

0871 22 30 217
or
0871 22 30 218

Thats the HTC Europe repairs number.
Who did not answer the phone on either number. :evil:

I'm running out of ideas now :(

E-mailed T- mobile customer services about the release date for the patch and got this reply:

Thanks for your email.

Unfortunately we have no launch date for this as of yet.

Thanks and Regards

Which means that there appears to be an upgrade in the pipeline, but they're just very slow about getting it organised!

Thanks

What i think we should do is this

Someone draft up a Standard letter of Complaint about this, IE all the other makers can handle it, WHY CANNOT YOU

then we all send it in to T-mobile, and see if that helps....

they must have the update cause the new ones are been shipped with it

P.S if anyone has the new version, can they please dump it somewhere on the FTP site please

well fellow uk'ers... it's OFFICIAL...

T-Mobile Tech Department ARE USELESS. :P

There has been much speculation of a forthcoming upgrade for the MDA Compact, not only because of the countless issues, but to also provide the Blackberry service, something I was personally looking forward to...

As you will see in the above links, it was mentioned at the end of last year, that this would be AVAILABLE for the MDA Compact. Try a google search...

SO, phoned up the so-called "Tech Dept" at T-Mobile UK, and you guessed it, didn't have a clue. Furthermore, they said "there wasn't enough RAM / storage for this facility" :? :shock:

If anyone has more success than me, then please let us know.. :roll:
