Default Free Windows Mobile 2003 Upgrade for Rogers AT&T Siemens SX56

http://www.my-siemens.com/MySiemens...2F_DADS,00.html

If you're a Rogers AT&T customer in Canada, and you own the Siemens SX56 (XDA), you're in luck: you can now download a free Windows Mobile 2003 upgrade for the phone. It's great to see a free upgrade being offered! :way to go:

So would this be the first free update for a PPCPE? That's wonderful! Way to go Canada!

Now if Verizon would just get moving on the I700 upgrade that would be nice.

This download can be found on Siemen's website as well so I don't know if we Canucks can claim as being first. In fact I downloaded it the night I found out I won my sx56 on ebay... Now if only the silly thing would show up....

O.k., you knew this question was coming.

What if I am a Rogers customer using an unlocked T-Mobile branded XDA on the Rogers network. Can I still download the upgrade without frying my machine?

FYI.
Rogers hasn't made this official yet, so they are not supporting it. Everyone is SUPPOSE to get a text message as soon as they are official. But it does work, we installed it yesterday, (almost) flawlessly. Had problems connecting to the internet, but manually entered the DNS addresses and success.

Confirmed. I just flashed two last week. I called into Rogers tech support to help with the GPRS setup, and the tech support rep said he couldn't 'officially' help me since they weren't trained (the GPRS config screens have changed on 2003). He was nice enough to give me the settings for the 2002 and told me that it should be easy to figure out myself. It was.

Here's the link I used:

Rogers PocketPC 2003 sx56 unsupported upgrade

The warnings that you may damage your device are VERY real - follow all instructions carefully.


You mileage may vary.

Siemans has now removed the link for the Canadian update.
