Motorola Q Software Update

[Don Presten]

I just purchased the phone from Verizon. I see that there is a "Software Upgrade" on the Motorola website. While reviewing the documentation, I couldn't find anywhere that spoke on how to check your phone to see if this update has already been applied.

1. Is there such a way?
2. Do I really need this update?

I have several applications installed and configured that I would hate to have to reinstall and reconfigure.

The phones from Verizon still have Patch 1, however Patch 2 (for lack of better name) is available. Motorola has a sweet upgrade utility to get any updates. Just make sure you have your Q plugged directly into the USB on the system, not the hub. Learned that the hard way.
