I wanted to start a thread where people can post what the firmware version is on their particular unit along with the date of manufacture (sticker on the box). It seems to me there are some issues some people are having where others are perfectly fine like the bluetooth call quality issue. It sounds to me like some units might have a slightly newer or older version of software than others.

 

I would like to see if there is a pattern and it might reveal if some these issues people have been having may have already been fixed by a slightly newer firmware in another persons unit.

 

The firmware and map version is listed under System Settings -> Service Information. The DOM (date of manufacture) is on a sticker on the side of the box. BS (Bluetooth Software) version is under Phone -> Phone Settings -> Bluetooth Software Update.

 

Anyway post in this format.
