Hi lawman

You do have the latest firmware. When I did the review I had the original firmware.

The version 1.30 has the following improvements:
- Earpiece and speaker-phone volume has been increased, but not significantly. It is definitely much better than the prior version.
- Ring tone volume has improved
- Phone operation or OS seems more stable
- Picture quality has been improved. It is still not great. But the grainy-ness has gone down. :-) Automatic mode is still not able to figure out the light conditions well. And Night mode helps in low light conditions. I will try and post pictures over the weekend. For tips check out..

- Haven't seen the BT picture fuzziness problem. But then I haven't been using the phone much lately.

Wish it HAD the following improvements:
- Bluetooth serial configurator so that apps like Mapopolis can communicate with serial devices over BT like GPS sensor.
- iTAP improvements, so that it select dot (.) when I press the 1 key instead of apostrophe ('). What was Moto thinking. :?

If I missed out on anything, readers can chip in. ;-)
