on good authority.... XTL 5000 mobile "dual radio" info
Posted: Sun Aug 02, 2009 4:00 pm
i heard today from a trusted source that M will *NOT* be releasing the dual radio O3/O5 firmware to the mass market (i.e. the rumored FW13.xx upgrade for dual radio w/ O3-O5).
this is a marketing drive to push everyone into the apx mobile.
i am betting that there might be an SP release for certain 3 letter guys, if it's not in the field already (IRS/DoJ are heavy dual band users) - but with the W3, they probably won't complain too much, even when the control head costs $2200 to replace.
don't complain to me about it - M's decision
