I've seen a couple people on here claim that rogers will be getting the captivate on August 20th, but I havn't been able to find ANYTHING online that backs that up.
All of the info ive found on the release date say mid september.
which makes sense since froyo is also coming out mid september...maybe rogers will release the captivate with froyo.

I remember reading somewhere from a person working for Rogers or at a Rogers store that August 20th is the new release date. They were planning to release it mid September originally, but the release of Galaxy S phone on Telus and Vibrant on Bell has speeded that up. Probably the sources you looked at are still based on the older information. We'll see who is right in a few days.
I did see a link somewhere that said the 20th, but I have since not been able to find it. So maybe it means that rogers backpeddled on the date. I really hope it comes out soon so we can try that radio file on ours to see if it enables HSUPA.
If it comes out on the 20th ill be extremely happy.
i see nothing at Rogers stores yet
look at the date
they will not release SGS until the end of the year, else it will instantly kill their Iphone4 sales

No, I have many sources reporting many things, and some things I can talk about (mostly what's out there) and somethings I can't (mostly not what's out there).
I wrote the PPC-6600 "Upgrade" article to force Sprint to disclose on-the-record that an upgrade will be offered for existing owners. It was a clear, yet at the same time, carefully worded piece of consumer advocacy, and it served its purpose. When everything's disclosed I think it will be clear why. Regardless of what the 6700 does turn out to be, 6600 owners would have been otherwise left feeling forced to upgrade.
What I have said all along as to what the 6700 is, is that it is a device that would not be motivating for other 6600 owners to upgrade to for the most part with the exception of it is EV-DO enabled.

WHAT?!?
nobody has anything to say?
:shock:
well Telus then seems like it has a way better deal with the same thing but at half the price.....
Copenhagen, it looks like we have the same device, what have to done to yours to make it Better?

Telus is starting it's evdo network in the first quater of 2006. Hopefully we should get an update offered to us as well.
I don't think telus' version of the ppc6600 has evdo enabled out of the box. <- can someone check on this??
I havn't done any upgrades yet.. as there havn't been any offered to date.
The bluetooth stack on this unit is fairly stable and the radio and ext rom are both one of the newest versions available. I've only found rom updates for GSM units and others that are incompatible with our CDMA version of the ppc6600.
I'm not sure how many other countries are using this exact model of ppc6600. I know new zeland telecom, sprint & verison, telus and bell are using the same. That should indicate that if sprint releases an update, then so will the others. Sprints update renames their model of ppc6600 to ppc6700...
When that time comes, paying ANOTHER ~600 bucks would be outrageous. The phone just came out here and I paid the 350 w/ 3 yrs contract. I would pay for an update of course but it would have to be reasonable... 600+ is not. If sprint DOES release an update, it will make its way to xda. By that time, hopefully, the forum here should recognize our ppc6600 and make a separate section for us where we can test and update our models f.o.c.
I'm hopeing that if and when there is an update, wm2005 is included but I dont think it will be. It will happen. Eventually someone will sort it all out, and then we can live in wm2005 land happily ever after.
Well I bit the bullet and only signed a one year contract with Telus, that's as much as I can stomach with them. As far as EVDO goes I am not so sure. Telus is on strike so not much will happen and they are projecting this might go until 2006. What I would really like to see is to have them finalize the Number Portability business and then I could take my number and go GSM. I think that is the best option we have right now for getting WM5 on a device in Canada aside from I-mate and Rogeres.
did you update your ext rom? where did the .115 come from?
gimee gimee gimee!!!!!
is ther any improvement over the .00 release?

Actually all that was already installed on the device and I have dumped it here if you want to grab it. Should be in wiki.

Check the topics; there was a link referring to release dates and Nov. 11th is when the USA release is. We can guesstimate that it would be around that time or past.

My friend works at Bell. So, here's insider's info: the update will start to roll out on Monday the 15th. It will start for ip addresses in Ontario. On 17th - BC. On 20th - the rest of Canada. On 29th - foreign ip addresses with i9000m...
Good luck with the update!
So the update will be available through Kies? Thanks for the info...hope its true!
Thanks so here is to hoping for next week.
Thanks for the quick reply. I check for the update every day. Can't wait to get it.

Whats with the huge gaps? I doubt there are that many Vibrants in Canada that it needs to be staggered like that.. This does not sound very practical.

I worked as a service provider for Bell Canada for many years. This is their mentality, even though they are such a small drop in the bucket compared to the big wireless companies like Verizon or TMO.
I'm actually quite disappointed that Bell even has a say in the matter... Samsung, as crappy as their service is, should be the drivers. This means we can almost forget about any future 2.3 upgrades after the SGS drops off Bell's sales radar.

As I understand it from reading around there are about 500,000 sgs i9000m devices in Canada however... I tottaly agree that Bell should NOT have any say in the firmware upgrades and I hope Gingerbread will officially make it to us here in Canada but my hopes arent too high.
I have never flashed an unofficial firmware before but in this regard all I can say is THANK GOD for xda and the talented developers who will no doubt have many flavors of gingerbread for us canucks to munch on when its done baking especially since the galaxy tab WILL be getting it and the 2 devices are so similar.

I have very little hope we will see an official 2.3 update from Bell. As you said the phone will be old news and newer and better phones will be pushed. Its the blight of Android unfortunately.. This seriously has me considering one of the 'other' platforms for my next phone.
You're worried about getting 2.3 from Bell? I'd be shocked if anyone ever sees 2.3 from Samsung!

At least when we get it in Nova Scotia the DXA devs will already have fixed it.

You're hoping on 2.3?? lets hope 2.2 actually comes onto our Kies. we've been told Froyo was gonna be here since day 1 within a couple weeks (at least thats what i was told by bell tech)
I cant wait to see what 2.2 brings, then I'll worry about 2.3 down the road
2.3 would be nice but I don't see it coming to the i9000m. Since Bell seems to have control over the updates, upgrade support will drop around the same time as Bell drops this phone for another.
Hey, so I am with sasktel, and I am wondering if I will be able to receive the update? My phone is also i9000m. Can I be expecting an update or will I most likely have to flash from bell?

Okay so latley I've been google searching "lg thrill gingerbread", and constantly I'm seeing stories about how at&t has released the update and blah blah blah. However I've yet to receive this magical update. Any idea what's going on?
Sent from my LG-P925 using XDA App
What stories say att released it?
Att has issued a statement that all 2011 phones will GET it, but mums the word on dates.
Only info I could find was the Optimus 3D was expected (in July) to get the update in October. That update is also unconfirmed for an actual date. Plus, even though the Thrill is almost identical, O3D ROMs will not fully work on the Thrill.
Unfortunately att has a poor track record for updates. Gingerbread has been out since December and the Captivate still doesn't have the update.

it took my last phone almost a year to get the official Eclair (2.1) update from AT&T... dunno what extensive "testing" AT&T has to do to the software...
So I was chatting with a friend earlier and he was telling me that Samsung is planning on releasing a new device on the Sprint Network that will be the successor to the Epic 4G/SPH-D700. Its code is apparently SPH-D705. This is just leaked info I heard.
The model number has been floating around since January of this year

Hey,
So I'm on H3G in the UK and installed a custom ROM a few months back. When H3G rolled out 4G in London and Manchester (I'm in manc) I wasn't getting LTE even in the town centre.
Now on the H3G website it says that they will roll out a software update to switch the phone "on" for 4G, I'm guessing I don't have that as I'm running a custom ROM. Is there any way to get this update, or update any part of the phone such as the radio so it will receive 4G on H3G in the UK?
HTC One
H3G UK
ReVolt ROM 4.2.2
3.4.10 ReVolt Kernal
Baseband: 4A.17.3250.14_10.39.1150.04L
You could try dialling *#*#4636#*#* trick and selecting GSM/WCDMA/LTE Auto
It was already on GSM/LTE auto, and I'm guessing that the ROM would be set to this?
It also just seems to switch back to GSM/LTE auto even is I change it to the one with CDMA.
Either way I don't think its going to allow me to connect like that :/
Nothing on this
I may have to set aside some time for going completely back to stock I guess.

Maybe just wait till they push it and have someone dump it and see what it is. Might be as simple as a new APN....

That's what I was hoping for out of this topic, they started pushing 4G to London, Manchester, B'ham and Reading in mid December, so its in the wilds, but there is nothing online that I can find relating to it.
Is there any way to "capture" an OTA update as it comes in?
And has anyone reading this got the update already?
I guess being in UK, and on H3G, and the limited roll out really narrows the number of members here who might have it :/
Edit: I have just read that the December roll out was only to 3000 select customers (they REALLY like the number 3), basically a beta (for people who dont just hang up on the marketing team), and the major roll out happens in Feb. Perhaps I was being a bit eager :'(

Haha, it is a slow rollout, but my speeds on DC-HSDPA are already faster than my home internet (which itself is a bit ****, as I'm in flats) at around 5Mbps. I have been on all the networks and in my experience it blows all of the rest out of the water, when 4G finally gets here, for free, completely unlimited and (on The One Plan) including tethering I cant see there being any other choice for a heavy internet user.
LTE got switched on for me today, no updates of any kind needed.
So for those out there on H3G running custom ROMs, its just a waiting game, as soon as H3G flip the switch in your area it will start working. Speedy too
