Thats a good question, I only know that they used more modern icons and a new cover colour (denim blue) but for the softwaredetails I don't know. In regular use I did not notice any difference...may be somebody else in this forum could help to answer your question...

and yes the unit is fully opperational i cant get it on the net though as it seams to only surport dialup i will have a closer look later,
Indeed, it'S only dial-up possible. There have been two basestations AFAIK. One for analogue dialup and another one for ISDN.
They have planed to make a network basestation but the project has been canceled before.
BUT the firmware is linux-based so good programmers should be able to implement a BT-LAN-paket.

F/W Version R1B,

If you want to try out how to do it, you can get R1C firmware as bin-files and the boot loader.
But I don't know how to make an upgrade.

R380e has a more "3D-look" for icons and menus, some new applications (like Ink Notes) can also be found in R380e firmware... it is possible to upgrade a R380s with R380e firmware, but you'll get a bit less free memory available since R380e requires a bit more space. For the external design the R380e model has a brighter blue cover then R380s

@Cytech:
I just compared the files. Amazing but true: The R380e firmware doesn't waste any more memory than the R380s. The main flash part has - of course - to be the same size since the physical flash block can't change: Both files are 908KB.
The PDA flash part is more interesting: Though the R380e has got one application more, the flash files are a bit smaller. R380s files are between 4.750KB and 4.751KB (depending on language) and R380e files (I compared the same languages) between 4.461KB and 4.538KB.
And to make things clear: Yes, you can upgrade a R380s to R380e without problems. What's even more funny: You can also flash a R380s or R380e to R380 WORLD. The physical layout of the PCB is a tri-band. It has filters for GSM900, GSM1800 and GSM1900 so it was obviously planned to be a tri-band model like the T39. I can only guess why they released the phones only as dual-band. Maybe it was a marketing decision because they thought to sell more different phones this way. Or they just couldn't develop a stable tri-band firmware until the planned release date.
However, on the other hand you can not simply flash a R380 WORLD to R380s or R380e: /// saved a little money and left the place on the PCB free, where the GSM1800 filter is soldered to. You would first have to solder the filter in place.

that's a bit weird, I know my R380s showed less memory available after I had upgraded it with R380e firmware...
