I checked with the support guys here and they told it is not available yet. but it doesnt mean that upgrade wont be available at all.
I am also waiting for 2.2. Lets hope for the best. :)

My phone went back to its maker 3 times,once after 1 month and 1 day of buying it,then 5 months later and then the 3rd time they-the phone shop where I bought it-did not bother to send it back,they wrote a complaint letter for me. After about 1 week I got a phone call from KPN in the Netherlands and they asked me to explain the problem,I did and they asked if I would like another phone...Of course I said yes so long as it was NOT the Garmin and that the phone actually worked.
They sent me on my existing contract a brand new Samsung Galaxy S..ME VERY happy !!!
It works like a dream. Navigation geo tags everything the Garmin was ment to do but for wat ever reason never did,not properly at any rate.
Hi. As there won't be an official upgrade to Android 2.2 or 2.3 (Garmin said), does someone know if an un-official build has been (or will be) created and where i could download it ? Thanx.

The touch is too faulty n sometimes the mute button gets pressed while talking by your ear and u cannot be heard, navigation is great ans so is the processor. But the issue raised must be addressed by Asus.

If you are still having problems I'd phone the garmin asus support line the number here in Australia is : 1-800-552-608 it operates between 8:00 – 17:00 EST .
I am sure they will be able to guide you through the update process .

Where can I get the latest SW? I found Version 5.0.82, 118 MB in Australian Garminasus Web site. I tried to update as mentioned in the guidelines, but it did not work for me. In one try it says "file is inconstent". In a second try it say "insufficient memory". I still have Version 5.0.71...
Did someone succeed with SW update?

Few that I have noted:
1. Contact have come back. Properties->Display groups->Expand one group -> Select All Other Contacts (last one). i am not sure whether this was available earlier. But now all contacts ara visible.
2. As soon as you dial a number, if it is there in contact, it gets displayed.
3. Battery appears to be more efficient.
4. No more removing of batteries. I tried few calls and appears pretty stable. Wew... BIGGG RELIEF.
Android OS v2.1.1 - Has Live Wallpaper.

1. The mob recognises that the battery cover is removed. hence after sitcking in the SD card, before doing anything, put back the battery cover. If not, it will not proceed with update. Instead, it will go to desktop and you will have to repeat the process.
2. The update file (approx 300MB) will remain in the folder itself. Hence you will have to remove it manually. Otherwise you will wonder where did all the space go.

Cheers everyone,

Rosh, 11 Feb 2011Ok, I got Invalid system update file. I guess i have to live with 5071. Ok, trying again.
~RoshOk i have successfully installed ver 5071. UI looks more 3d especially the player but i am wondering how it found that this phone is IND? I just changed the time zone to Kaula lumpur and tried. No Luck.
I just bought this mob yesterday and i am experimenting already. Garmin Asus guys, 'are you listening?' :)
Will update in a day or 2 about the usage. but i feel the phone is quite heavy. no need of a dumbel. Never saw that in a review either. Wonder all the guys stopped going to gym. ;)

~Rosh
After much search i found how to install firmware. I am facing the problem of proximity. i.e. fone turns blak\ck, or hangs after a long call. When you press the power button to unlock it, it dont respond. You have to remove the battery to cut the phone. This happens generally when you make a call to a LAN phone. So even if they cut the call from their side, the line will be open unless you cut it.
If you are calling anothoer mobile, this wont happen.
So hold on tight guys, i am going to upgrade to 5077 ver. In this ver, they have mentioned that proximity issue is fixed, lets see.
All information is available on garminasus.com/en_MY/support/a10-software-updates.html
I will post in a while about the status.
btw i am from India. and Indian site of garmin asus is having only 5071. Wonder why.
