You can just download it and install it yourself. The thread is on this forum. :D

I've yet to see this happen. Unless it's not on a new message but a reply?


Cannot associate with WiFi access point using shared WEP key: Should now be able to associate to access points with a shared WEP key.

I don't share WEP keys anyway?
But my wifi hasn't had a problem or anything since I got the phone.


Google Contacts/Calendar Sync (endless loop).

I don't use the calendar, but the endless loop syncing with the contacts will be useful...to drain the battery. :p


USB storage: Now a USB notification will appear in the notifications area when connected via USB. Users must select to use USB Storage if desired.

Haven't plugged it into the computer since the update, so I can't verify this one yet.


Email notification doesn't disappear when the Email has been read (POP/IMAP Email client).

I call BS on that. It always disappeared when I read it.


New Email notifications not received (POP/IMAP Email client).

Like a delivery report?


Browser does not launch YouTube video when Settings > Enable Javascript is unchecked.

The browser won't stream YouTube videos anyway. We need flash for that. It will however allow you to watch it using the YouTube application that came with the phone.


WiFi & Bluetooth occasionally disconnect while charging.

I rarely if ever use WiFi or Bluetooth anyway.

Couldn't you just turn the volume down?


Amazon MP3 fix for files with underscores (_) in the filenames


Eh, I don't buy MP3's anyway.



Either way, even if the updates seem pointless, it's always good to have updates.

Because you can't tell if you plugged it into your computer? :p

Seriously, your computer should recognize the device and display it's connected.

No I didn't.
I purposely left that out.

I guess it's nice if you don't want it to be recognized and just want it to be charged. Also before, when I plugged it in to charge (regular) it wouldn't let me access files on the sd unless I had the usb function off.

So it does help.

Yeah, you gotta make sure you have your device set so it can store information on the SD card. Pretty much if you know what you're doing with computers and phones you don't need the notification. However more lets say 'basic' users would get more use from it.

Now don't get me wrong, it's always good to have...it's just not necessary.

i downloaded the update. and I can honestly tell you the battery life is uch much better. I am triying to use it as much as possible with wifi and my batter still shows as full......before the update after 15 it started to drop down. That alone is awesome.

New Email notifications not received (POP/IMAP Email client).


I have the update installed and this is still not fixed on mine. Every other item listed in the list has been fixed (now the text box has the focus on my SMS when first opened! thank you!) but I am still not getting email notifications from my non Gmail accounts and its pissing me off. It is so far the only thing that has angered me about this phone. Also...when it is fixed, is there anway we can get the default client or K9Mail to check pop3's something other than a min of 5min? I'd prefer 1min.
