Stores that have the 8100 s/w upgrade 1.115 SP

Please start posting the locations of stores that have the Sanyo 8100
software upgrade. The improvements seem to me to be significant,
especially with regard to receiver volume. Thanks to Jon Clark we
already know that it IS available somewhere, e.g. Eden Prairie, MN.

Where else?

(La Cienega store near West Hollywood, CA said it didn't exist... the
phone is too new. I'm sure others will hear this too.)



----------------------------
To email me, remove the zz.

Don't believe it when someone at a Sprint store says they don't have it.
The updates are made available to ALL STORES at the same time. End of
story. They simply have to check their intranet download system and they
can get it in just a few minutes.

Larry's right insofar as the fact that once one store has it - it really
*should be* available to all of them. Sometimes you get a lazy rep that
won't check, and they just say they don't have it. Around here (Twin Cities,
MN) the SPCS store reps are generally quite good - especially lately. I
called the Minnetonka and Edina stores as well and they both didn't know
when I initially called but offered to check and both came back and
confirmed they did have the upgrade. So, to that end, the following MN
stores have it for certain:

Minnetonka
Edina
Eden Prairie

and the following should have it as well:

Roseville
Coon Rapids
Maplewood

The Eden Prairie store was more than happy to upgrade mine, and even said I
was the first person at their store to get the upgrade, which was why it
took a little longer (30 min?). I suspect they had to download the new SW
from their intranet, or some such.

Anyways, push your local store a little if they say they don't have it -
they almost certainly have access to it.

Not true. Affiliate stores do not have access to them until they are
automatically sent.

For example, I would have to drive two hours to my nearest corporate
store to get my A500 upgraded to WD29.

Ok so maybe I should have said all non-affiliate stores but the original
poster seemed to be asking about stores around the Los Angeles area
which of course is not an affiliate area.
