found a good deal on a t68mc. wanna ask you guys some qs
1. is the mc model still mmc unapgradable in manila? do you guys think that eventually smartnet would be able to upgrade these to mmc capability since a lot of pinoys have mc units? have you guys petitioned for this?
2. aside from the mmc capability, any other advantages from the latest software? right now i do not need mmc, so its ok if i do not getthat upgrade. however, i might be missing out on other things like a faster GUI, which is very important to me.
3. what is the latest software for the mc model, before the mmc software came about?
4. are there any imitation data cables out in ghills? if ever, can i use them to connect to the net via gprs-desktop via com1 port? i heard a forumer is selling cables for 300+
thanks a bunch.

forget the mc. it will never be supported here in the philippines. so no mms (not mmc!) firmware upgrades. the mc model is not supported in this country, so why petition.
-or-
you can go to singapore/send your phone to singapore and pay SGD100 for upgrades.
what you should look for? WARRANTY - this means savings and no headaches.

oh....mms i mean...got jumbled up with the mc thingy.
any third party doing uprgrades? if ever they are maybe they would be able to do the mc upgrade, knowing the fact that they are a significant number of mc units in the country.

the t68 is not like nokia (or siemens) where upgrades are available to almost anyone. the upgrades are stored on ericsson's server, and you need official equipment (discussed many many times here at esato) to get it and you need a special key that is only available to service points.
again, the T68mc is *not* supported in the philippines for firmware upgrade to MMS.

Why don't you write HK SE and ask? Late last month, I was lucky enough to have my T68mc upgraded in Singapore (Goldhill or Kallang SC) for 103sing$ when it was released. As far as I know, it has only been released in Singapore. A bit pricey huh, that's around 3K pesos. I eventually sold that upgraded unit (T68ie). Why? It will never have software support here. Ms. DJ of SE Phils. confirmed this to me before.
