Yea..I went through the trauma of going from 3 to 4 and I've seen no difference.

Wait....some numbers changed under phone settings, that's right!

Just got an email from Tech Support and there will be NO MMS update for the current Moto Q. They are working "desperately" on the new servers so the new Q, and some BlackBerry's will be able to have MMS. (First Quarter of this year?) So sorry for so much dis-information that everyone has been told in the past. That's all, folks. Now let's move on and and just complain about the service!

when they say "desperately" do they mean desperately grasping at straws/pulling hair out or actually doing something? :-p

I did the update and wish I had not, all it did for me was create alot of extra work re-building the phone.

Got a "Free Alltel MSG" today that says Motorola Q Software Update Required- To get the most out of your Q visit alltel.com/software for more details and to download the new software. Anyone hear of what this update is and does??

It just redirects you to the Motorola Update page where it will update you to MOL4, you can read more about that here.

I've done the update and the best thing it did from me was that it forced me to do a hard reset and reinstall all my apps. I have a nice clean Q now. :-)

I also have a new PRL of 30031, not that I expect that to do much for me! :-(

For all those that jumped the gun and got a regular Q such as myself, we are all stuck with WM5 for it. I emailed Alltel the other day and was told that there will be NO upgrade to WM6 for the Q, so I guess it's get a Q9c or live with 5. Thanks Alltel.

it wasn't just Alltel, none of the other carriers upgraded their Q1 line beyond WM5. That kind of upgrade is rather rare.
