Does anyone know if a 4.2 OS is in the works for the 8703e? I've seen alot of software that has added capabilities for OS 4.2, but I see the latest listed for the 8703e is 4.1...

4.2 is not out for the 8703e yet.

Thanks for the info, but what I meant was:

Is it in the works to run on the 8703e? (ex. will it EVER be available)

That all depends on the carriers. They decide when to release. I believe its in the works, just not known when it will be released.

Oh, Ok! Thanks for the info!

You would be able to install 4.2 on your 8703e by copying the java directory from a 4.2 OS and replacing the java directory of your 8703e OS. This will install the 4.2 OS while leaving your radio code intact. I have done this a while back using 8707 code on an 8700.

I would be well versed in the following two procedures if you try this.
