Watched the live TRBO CPS 2.0 / Firmware 2.10 webinar the other day. Anyone else? A bunch of us at work watched it and submitted questions that they couldn’t even answer at the end Q & A session. We all left watching it with more questions than answers!
So we get a call the next day from Motorola thanking us for attending and if we had any questions. The Motorola guy was very nice, but couldn’t answer ANY of our questions about firmware 2.10 and how it will effect our customers who get 2.10 firmware radios when the warranty runs out. The call lasted 55 minutes.
So many questions, no clear answers.
But one takeaway I can share with anyone wanting a new TRBO 3300/3500, 7000 series is to buy one NOW from a real dealer who has recent stock that comes factory with 2.09 firmware. The 2.09 factory new radios come with many free EIDs that 2.08 doesn’t! Even if you upgrade from older firmware to 2.09, you will NOT get these paid EIDs for free. It must come factory fresh with 2.09.
Seeing as we have many contracts with business who are using TRBO radios and not wanting to have to deal with the unknown 2.10/CPS 2.0, we quickly ordered over $1/2 million of TRBO radios so we get them still on 2.09 firmware. CPS 2.0 and firmware 2.10 is supposed to drop either tomorrow or mid next week.
With so much unknown with the Moto TRBO team with CPS 2.0 and firmware 2.10, DO NOT UPGRADE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!!! For now, the highest CPS you should use is 16 (build 828) and firmware 2.9.
I foresee a complete cluster****** coming in the next years with CPS 2.0 and 2.10 firmware.
