You can go to the link on 8/10 to get a free SW upgrade on your own and it will fix your issue.

That link doesn't resolve.. Can you try it again?

I think he's saying to go try it on 8/10 (tomorrow, Aug 10).. ?

I'm curious if anyone knows if the update will screw with any currently customized settings on the Q..

[Ballzo]

That is a biggee...

I think the working link is Here

However it didn't work for me. Thought my Q was a Cingular E315.

Thanks for the link!

Well, I guess this answers my question:

During the software update, all third-party media, including but not limited to, music, pictures, ringtones, and screensavers, will be deleted. You will need to reload all third-party media after the software update. Third party applications and some custom settings CANNOT be automatically restored after the device has been updated. Please note that during the update, you will have the opportunity to save your personal data.

It would be nice to see what the actual fixes/updates entail.

It will be great to have frames supported on the browser, i've had some problems with them and now i don't have to buy Opera! Also excited about using it as a modem and for any browser enhancements!

Good news!

Yah, so apparently the updater doesn't work just yet. Guess no updates are currently available.
