Hi all!

I bought some time ago a Sharp 903 on eBay-UK. So the Phone is supposed to be a UK-Version! The phone is dated on 2005/11 and has Fw:

1.1140,
EMP:U100 5.0,
OW: 7.0.2.1.d.1.116
APLIX:1.20

Are there many newer version out?

And my phone doesn't have this wrtiting on the side! Which 903's have it?

Thanks in advance!

That's the same version as my Euro 903. I'm assuming that out of the Euro 903 sets, this is the newest one so far, as my phone is dated 2005/09.

So, does then your Sharp also doesn't have this writing on the right side?

That's weird. I have the Euro fw too but I have different numbers only on the first line. Here's what I have:

1.046
EMP: U100 5.0
OW: 7.02.1.545
APLIX: 1.17

Does this mean I have the older Euro fw? I forgot but can someone tell how to find out the manufacturing date of the phone? I bought mine's back in early November but I think it was made in October.

Take the Battery out and you see there is a 6 digit number on a label on the phone like 200511!

It's a little different but I see now. 2005 and the # 10 (October) are seperated and they have japanese writing next to each of them I'm guessing meaning year and month the 903 was made. Thanks for the help!

BXNYC. you are exactly right.   it does mean year. =p

On Japanese versions the date is properly written out, eg 2005年09月. On EU versions it's a six digit mess: 200509.

Incidentally mine is like that (200509), so it was made in September.

BXNYC your firmware readout is different on all lines except the EMP one. Look carefully And yes your firmware is older.

I should note that b.a. made a typo in his version, it should be 1.140.

I've also seen a 1.080 version in a shop demo model I got to play with. So there's a few versions floating around...

I'm sorry, It is 1.140, thank you!

Is there any way to flash to a newer Euro fw? Is it worth it. Any changes for the better if I do?
