Thank you for contacting UTStarcom.

COOL!

An "official" 3.3?!? That sounds GREAT to me. I'm running 2.5 and I'm mostly happy with it. From what I've read around here 3.3 ought to be both faster and better for battery life, right?

I really admire all you guys who have the courage to cook your own ROMS and such, but I've been a little hesitant to upgrade to an UN-official AKU, just because of some of the problems I've read about on the site here.

Call me a wuss, but I just got my XV6700, and the honeymoon isn't over yet. This thing is probably the coolest piece of electronics I've ever bought, so I'm not quite ready to take much risk with it just yet.

So, for someone like me, an official release is definitely welcome news!
