There's been much speculation about the release of updates to Windows Mobile 2003 for both the Motorola MPx200 and Samsung SGH-i600. We've had some information lately about the updates for the Motorola MPx200 (and the imminent release of the MPx220), but news on the SGH-i600 has been strangely lacking. This now seems set to change.

Matt M from MTekk writes about hot news for Samsung SGH-i600 owners ...

I quote from Douglas Genetten in the microsoft.public.smartphone newsgroup:

" I just spoke to a very well-informed technical manager at the Samsung booth at CES 2004.

He said the i600 update to 2K3 is "already done, approved and back in Microsoft and Verizon's hands"

He says the big issue is who will handle the upgrade, how it will be done and if it will cost. "

Great news - now all we need to know is whether or not the phone itself will be coming to Australia!
