In your case you'd have to get the update from Motorola. As with Pocket PCs, all updates have to come from either the operator or the manufacturer.

Reagarding our next release I don't believe we've made any specific announcements around UMTS functionality yet.

Good question on the Whidbey release, I'm not sure. Ori's at TechEd, but I'll ask some of the other VSD guys and see if I can find out.

Neil

Thanks for your help

looking forward about Whidbey CF

Can also tell me which features the smartphone version of WinCE 5 will bring us?

There's no update available at the moment. AT&T did flash some phones for MDC attendees, but that's not something we have access to. The updates have to come from the mobile operator.

I didn't buy my phone from any mobile operator
i bought it completely free without any contract. i even also see during starting a screen that says 'Mobile Operator Logo', where my operator's logo should be if i'd purchased the phone over one.

Will the phones with Windows CE 5.0 have support for the european UMTS?
And which windows mobile version does the Whidbey CF target? Windows03 SE?

Neil, can you tell me how to get .Net CF/Windows 2003 for my Moto Mpx200?
I've still got the standard OS, Smartphone 02

it depends how you count
phones people own (including those which are not used) or only those phones which are used

i currently own 3 cell phones but i use only one because i've got only one sim-card and one phone is enough for me
the Moto MPx200 (but i still have Win02 on it, can't get Win03 for the phone, anyone an idea?)
