this upgrade is for all i927 and works for all phones, unlocked and locked. unlocked phones remains unlocked, and locked phones remains locked (and they can be unlocked also in future) check my older post for updating procedure solved problems.

This phone is awesome on paper, and its capabilities are very nice, but the build quality is terrible. very cheap and flimsy compared to my old Nokia E7. After 6 months of use, some of the keyboard's buttons do not register anymore unless I mash them. Does not have a very good signal reception. Also, the clock does not keep time if it is set to Internet time.

Overall...meh. I prefer it over any touchscreen keyboard, but the bugs are very annoying.

Is this phone good?

Does it lag/reboots/heats up?

How's the battery life? I need it for texting mainly, as I use another cellphone for calling and I rarely use internet. I like games, but, I can live without them (I was using a Motorola Spice, after all, I wonder how I still managed to text on that crappy thing. Can barely wait to hammer it!). Does Temple Run works here?

I know it's a somewhat old phone, but the physical keybord is what caught my attention. How's the key sensitivity? I have an Samsung phone and it's awful (have to use my nails to press the keys and get them to work). It's the only good thing on my Motorola Spice (a light pressure does the trick).

Can we take pictures on it at night without the flash or only with it?

Is it my impression or there are general issues regarding ICS? How does this phone deals with the OS? Better keep it with GB or upgrade? what are the changes?

Can we save apps in the memory stick?

Does the alarm rings with the phone turned off?

Sorry for all the questions, but after my MotoSpice disappointment I don't wanna do another mistake...

I had a difficult time upgrading due to the fact that I had McAfee running on my PC. Once I removed it from my PC, it went FLAWLESSLY.

the only way to lock again a phone is to do a hard reset. anyone knows when there will be an ICS update with no bugs this time?? the previews update to ICS was failure. backlight keys didnt work and things like that. even in kies the server dont give available update for i927 anymore and i still use v2.3.5
