Well my phone's still T055VE2M01_4, and the techs assured me on Saturday that the newer software -- presumably the version you heard about -- is causing problems and isn't being given out.

So did you get this update?

No, I don't have the update. My phone got fried when they tried to put the new software on there and my new phone doesn't have the new software either. This phone died in the first 2 days, so I have a 3rd one on it's way. If it has the new software, I'll let you know (I doubt it will). I've been having a pretty bad run of luck with this phone. :-(

I wish Verizon could get it's act together on this.

I have a feeling the new update is fryin' phones left and right, and they've decided to stop giving it out -- but haven't gotten word to all the stores. Or maybe some outlets make their own decision to wait for the next update to avoid the problems.

Anyone have any insights?

So, they have not fixed the problems with voice dialing?

1) When set to voice dial on open, is usually fails unless you press any key (except hangup)

2) Looses the association between voice tags and the phone book entries.

For #2, I found that retraining any one voice tag will bring them all back.

The stuff they fixed never bothered me. These things still do.

8600 software update
I just called the two local Verizon stores (Manchester and Nashua NH) store and was told to just bring in the phone and they will do the update. Wish me luck!

I have to say that this phone has got to be one of the worst phones I've owned in a while....

I got my phone back from Audiovox a few weeks ago and it has a newer updated software. My voice recognition for voice dialing works well now and before it didn't. I'm with Bell Mobility.

I noticed that it is impossible to activate contact list while on a call.

I tried it just now, it made some appropriate noises, said it committed the upgrade, but I still see
Software: T055VE2M01_4.235, Hardware: TX-55C_Rev_02
(same as before). I purchased my phone yesterday -- is there chance they actually upgraded it, hence no change?

Thanks in advance for advising the clueless.


Odd, I have the same software version and have been staring at my phone for 10 minutes but there is no Verizon Wireless banner flashing anywhere every five seconds.

I have verizon service and don't like the clown, and commercials at startup, but otherwise, I don't see any banner.

If I get the firmware upgrade, will I be stuck with a banner?

Hey Smitty, what cable did you get and where did you get it?
Thanks.
