Just because it does not look the same does not mean that it is not the same. It is at the discretion of the carrier and how the mobile was upgraded (if applicable) |

Originally posted by Gate4 As far as I'm aware, Vodafone branded phones do not have InFusio/ExEn activated whereas Orange branded ones do. |

Originally posted by msbx I have a Canadian version sold by Rogers AT&T, and it's English alright. You can be sure that Rogers has a French version in Quebec. In fact, you can change languages in "My Phone" - French, English, Spanish and Portugese. If it had Cantonese, Canada would be covered. |

Originally posted by GATTO you forget Italian, my friend then Canada it would be covered completely |

Originally posted by lost_rebel Let us just call them Gx8x for the moment. They are all the same, exactly the same, hardware inside. Sure there may be some changes in plastic color and the outer lid plastic but functionally the same. Software: <=A19. Early releases specifically for Europe and Asia. Many bugs but acknowledged by the carriers. Some features not implemented A21. Fixed bugs required for release to some Asian markets A22. Fixed bugs required for European markets and rollouts to some carriers A38. Initial Release for US Market, Fixes all major bugs and many remaining small bugs, released to carriers worldwide for evaluation for upgrades in their markets all over the world. All features implemented. =<A39. Fixes bugs related to specific carrier features. All major bugs have been resolved but some carrier feature implementations have some issues. Pana releases targeted upgrades to fully implement these features. NOT rollup releases although all based on A38 code. Do not get unless you are in one of these markets and need these features. (No, I do not have a list!) Language packs: Two things come into play here: 1. Languages physically loaded into the phone.

It is at the discretion of the carrier and how the mobile was upgraded (if applicable) Model number differences: GU-87 -Sold only in the US, currently to AT&T GD-88- Sold in China, Taiwan and Hongkong. Currently has Chinese in it. Soon to be sold in Canada, Mexico and Brazil, no Chinese but adds Spanish, Portuguese and French. Has two other flavors of colors (only China?) GD-86A- Mainland China, adds new plastic to front with blue inset maybe other colors. Probably not available outside of Mainland China. GD-87. Everywhere else. Europe, Australia ETC. NOTE: They are made in different factories and that is based on model number. I hope this clears some things up for everyone. Maybe this should be made sticky for awhile? |

Originally posted by alpha tag FINALLY, a clear and concise differentiation of the 87/88... and there's an 86A as well? woah.. |

Originally posted by SilvaRSX hey, you said that the A38 was for the US market (so that would be the GU87 for AT&T right? I just checked my phone with the *#9999# and it said that I have the A21 but my phone is a GU87. sorry i'm a newb about this firmware stuff. just wondering if there is anything wrong with my phone.. |

Originally posted by goldnchickn Yes - this GD86a I think is only for the market here in China. It is about 4300 RMB which is about 600 RMB more than the GD88. But whats the diff?? Not much really, and the GD86a only comes in a blue cover I think - which isn't as nice as GD88 in my view. I think you can turn off the camera "click" sound though, which I don't know if you can on the GD88 firmware. |
|
Originally posted by JonHsiung yeah that damn click is annoying. hey besides fixing bugs, what features would i, or anybody else get for upgrading to the new firmware? also, is english well supported on it and if it is flashed, does the phone book disappear? |
