i730--Now on R0A.00.02

Yesterday, I stayed up all night to update the firmware on my i730 to
the said version above. Even though I was able to successfully apply
the update, I have a bad feeling that the phone might be corrupt
software-wise mainly because the computer froze up on me at times
throughout the update. Do you think I should have my phone checked by a
Nextel Software Specialist to see if my observations are true?

I've heard of this happening on slower computer systems. What type of
computer were you doing the update on? Also, were you using a serial or usb
data cable?

If the phone is working fine, then you shouldn't have any problems. If you
have Nextel Service/Repair Plan on your account ($2.50/month per phone) then
you don't have anything to worry about. If and when the phone fails, just
take it in and have them replace/swap it out for you.

I brought this up to a Nextel-Owned Store at Woodridge. I *do* have the
Nextel Service/Repair Plan on my sole Nextel Phone (a guy at Woodridge
recommended this for me). Here is the information regarding about my
"Mautenzannig's" software:

Phone Model: i730A
CP Version: 2E.02/1900
USR Version: U00A.01.04
CSD Version: C01.05.08
Firmware Version: R0A.00.02
Software Type: MS-PDGY-BER-MARATHON-R8
Firmware Build Date: Friday 11-14-2003 10:15:19 EST
Tegic Code Version: T9 V05.02.05 T1034 D11Oct2002
Tegic LDB Version: DB T00.02 L09.01.0F V05.01.32.02
Flash Packs: ES 0A.00.07, PT 0A.00.07, FR 0A.00.07, Latin Standard 11
0A.00.01, Latin Standard 15: 0A.00.01
Band Info: Primary at 02, Secondary at 04
Bandmap at 02 0x07 Nextel/TELUS

Other notes: Making test phone calls, the phone worked fine. Playing
J2ME Bejeweled, the phone worked fine. I am unaware of any problems.
If you want to see whether or not my Phone's Direct Connect Engine is
working fine, please e-mail me at [email protected]
(Remove the "spamhater."). I just got to see if my Direct Connect
Engine is working or not. Other "things" inside my phone is working
fine (iDEN Phone Calls, Nextel Mobile Internet, J2ME). GPS is assumably
working fine, music tones are working fine, the SIM Card in my phone is
untampered.

Don't know if any other problems exist on my phone...

If your phone had corrupt software it would say self check fail when you
turn it on.
If you havent noticed any problems dont sweat it.
