> Any News on P1i Firmware?
Bookmark topic
Towards the end of last year there were rumours of one final firmware update (a nice one) for the P1i, but I haven't heard anything since then, is there any more news? I really hope there are some truth to the rumours, the P1i could do with a final boost...

I wouldn't count on SE bringing out new firmware for this phone. Mine's stable though, not a single issue whatsoever since I bought it last year. SE has shown a lack of foresight over the years on firmware upgrades and hasn't proven the above otherwise. Couple that with the fact that UIQ is now officially dead then you can see that SE have moved on.

Thanks, pity though, but as u say its a general thing, as soon as a new model comes out they very quickly forget about the existing one(s), Archos did the same, as soon as the media tablet range (latest) came out, there's been nothng for the 605 wifi range since May 2008...At least my P1 is very stable too, no issues at all...only frustration is that updating OPera to 9.5 installs it as a seperate programme (doesn't update the ROM version) similarly with pd+ standard...I'm sure there are other app's that are part of the ROM which have been updated since the last firmware, so u end up having 2 seperate versions of the same application, which isn't wonderful but not a train smash either I guess

Pity indeed! I also agree that having two of the same application when you can just 'write over' it is far more practical. I think Nokia is somewhat differnt in that it doesn't easily 'discard' their phones but instead brings out firmware for some of the old phones. I just think SE has some incompetent people. That's just my opinion.

There's nothing really wrong with the P1i as is, and a lot of improvements can be done by hacking anyway.
Given SE's recent track record, if they released a new update it would probably break more than it fixes anyway.

With UIQ itself shut down and all the staff laid off, I don't suppose there's anyone at SE or elsewhere now who could actually work on such an update, even if they did feel like producing one. I think its fair to say they've drawn a line under it.

That is actually more likely!

A look in the Crystal Ball says No.
The last firmware is already out.

Yes, it's a shame really. Would have been nice to get a final update that fixed the camera icon bug and sped up the messaging app a little but the phone is getting on now, devices seem to have such a short lifespan!

Hello: I am a P1i user that's been looking for the latest firmware update and read from you that it's already out. Would you point to me the direction of where it is?
Thank you.
