When I tried to update my phone on Monday using Samsung PC Studio 7 the following message came up “your device is not supported by the software". I tried again today and now I get a message saying “No update required” the phone software is up to date. I think this means that the update will be available soon, will wait and see.

Tonace can you try to update your software again and see if you get the same message?

There is no current upgrade path from the service providers which normally supply it to the public via this blog or on some web space for free and by your own/self installation.
But if you call Samsung in South Africa and go through to the Mobile department they can direct you where to get a WM6.5 upgrade. This will unfortunately cost time and material from the Samsung service centre.

Nice thing about the Service centre upgrade is that it does not have the damn SP crap on it.

Later dudes.

I recently purchased a samsung B2100 as I am a keen MTB rider and needed a strong robust phone. The problem I have is that when receiving name cards or business cards I cannot view any of the info. Please help.

Does anybody know what are the correct USB drivers to use here and also whether to use PC Studio 3 or 7 for the i 560? (whatever happened to 4-6)

Hi Slash69,

The Samsung Team has confirmed that the I8000 is available in SA and currently through Autopage. Apologies for not providing information sooner.

Thanks for getting back to me. Seems we're in the same boat so looking forward to the update. Just FYI I have Win 7 and have Windows XP mode loaded so can try update using XP if Win 7 doesn't work.

Cheers

i have erroneously deleted my storage card after a hard reset on my omnia i900, and my navigation application has been removed from my storage card . How can I reload/download the software application to my storage card , as my phone has come preloaded with the software and i have the gps software disk for southern africa with the licence verification coupon . PLEASE HELP

Thanks for the update! Can't wait to install it. Please just let me know if the Samsung PC suite will be able to update the phone as the message comes up as "your device is not supported by the software" or something to that affect?
Also will the Samsung update software work on Windows 7 or only on XP as I have seen many users having problems with the update procedure?

Thanks

Hi Tonace,

There was a slight delay during testing but it seems that the team may have the update ready quite soon. Keep an eye on the Blog next week for news on this topic. Sorry for the delay.

I just want an update on the i8910 firmware relase date. Its not too much to ask is it?

My omnia isn't letting me delete certain messages, it gives me the option for delete and just returns to the message and remains in my inbox. It's also telling me that I have an ever expanding amount of new messages when I don't, I've looked everywhere in my messages and no new messages. it's really annoying because it's as if I haven't received messages properly for me to view. How do I sort this?

It is absurd that the expensive Omnia that I bought can't be upgraded from Windows mobile 6.1. I would not have bought this phone if it couldn't/wouldn't be upgraded. It's way too expensive a phone and Winmo 6.1 is pretty horrible for a variety of reasons. Samsung AND Microsoft won't get my business in the future, but will get lots of negative comments to counter their marketing in the future. And Verizon isn't any better - they pass me off to anyone but themselves to try and handle this. It's insulting!

What's up with that link, didn't work for me?
