My local Sprint store says they don't have a cable for upgrading the I500 - and they don't know how to order one.

Is it the standard I500 USB cable? I have one, and would bring it in if it worked!

I talked to my local tech about the upgrade. He's got the firmware coming, but he asked me to bring in my own cable. I should be able to upgrade by the end of the week.

P.S. He said that when he looked up the firmware upgrade, it said to absolutely not load wk19.

Maybe I'll just bring my MacMedia cable into the Lexington
Ave. store.

It's worth a shot.

When new firmware installed - do all applications (and voicedial) stay on the device? - or do they have to be reloaded?

When they put the new firmware on, you will lose everything. Just like a hard reset.

Make sure you device is synced on your PC. You will have to re-record your voicedials.

Just called my local store in NC and they have the cable and said that they would attempt to upgrade to XG23.

Any recommendations out there for backing up, besides the obvious hotsync before I "throw" my phone into the lions den this evening...

XG23 is now old news... XG30 was just installed...

I saw a new Sprint store where I eat lunch at today so dropped the phone off to get it upgraded....

Their computer fried my phone they told me and gave me a new phone. They upgraded the software on it succssfully and it was XG30.

I did have to obviously sync it back up when I got back to the office. Not sure what happenned to you guys but my 4 numbers that it has on the default skin got replaced by the originals this time. Last time I hard booted it I had to add them by hand again. This time they came back fine. Also it synced with my Thinkpad on the first try using the USB cradle. Last time I had to use the I300 serial sync to get it to ever realize it was supposed to update the data both in the phone and anything I had added to the date calender on the desktop.

I'm too new to the phone to let anyone know much about the before and afters but if you ask me something and tell me the way to check it I will be happy to do it...

Thanks... Gary

Are you sure it was XG30. That is newer than XG23, maybe they found more bugs??

No offence intended, but there's no way that they released 2 firmware's in 2 days, sorry, i'll believe it when i see it...Guvner would you mind posting a pic of your ##run screen?
