MWC 15 Special
Late last month I wrote about the first availability of the long awaited and expected Windows Mobile 6 upgrades for the Samsung SGH-i600 and while initially a Russian and Dutch upgrade was available only, later on Samsung also released the Scandinavian ROM upgrades as well as added some more countries. So far so good, even if the (for me important) German und UK upgrades weren't available so far, at least they was announced (as a greyed-out flag with the notice that the country prepares for the upgrade).
Now it changed, but not to the good one but to the bad one. Instead of activating the download for the UK and Germany, Samsung removed the country flags (plus some further countries like Greece and Czech). On the left the updated country list from August 1st, on the right the country list from today (click to enlarge):
Not sure what went wrong here and I hope it's a mistake by the webmaster only. I don't see a single reason to remove the upgrade for certain countries, especially after I've heard that further upgrades are planned to be rolled out in other parts of the world as well.
Haven't heard anything from Samsung yet but I will keep you updated as soon as I received more information.
Cheers ~ Arne

And the most strange thing is that they don't offer the upgrade when we all know that is the same download file for all of the countries. The ROM contains all of the languages.I already have it installed in my i600vI am afraid the pressure from the mobile operators is preventing these upgrades to be released.Vodafone will soon offer Samsung i620 with Windows Mobile 6 and it seems without wifi..So I am sure they are pressing Samsung not to release the rom upgrades, not even for the vanilla versions.That way, people will prefer to buy the i620 to have wm6 and vodafone will assure for itself a lot of income from the HSDPA usage because i620 doesn't have wifi.It's sad, but I think that is the true.
Anwser from Samsung support from 08/31/07 approx. 10.30pm MEZGuten Tag, xxxxvielen Dank fuer Ihre Anfrage.Wir koennen Ihnen leider noch nicht mitteilen, wann das Windows Mobile 6.0 Upgrade in deutsch erhaeltlich ist.
Cant you jst use the swiss upgrade..or the dutch?
Yes, with a "small" workaround you can.
So apparently no updates for UK versions.Can anybody point me to the "small workarounds" to use the English version in the published ROM's?tx
What "workaround" were you referring to? I have a Thailand I600 and am downloading the i600UXXupdater.exe file at this very moment.
Select the Danish ROM (http://www.samsungmobile.com/promotion/ … /sub01.jsp).Enter "i600XXGD1" as "Your i600 version number".Follow the instructions and download all files.Before you can flash your i600 now, you have to prepare it:* Enter *#1546792*# top open the hidden admin menu* Change the country ID under "Preconfiguration" to "Danish" (Preconfiguration Password is "*#81230*#")* The i600 might boot several times and speaks Danish now* Run the downloaded i600UXXupdater.exe and exactly follow the instructions as provided by Samsung!* After the device was flashed, go back to the hidden admin menu as described above and change the country ID of your i600 back to the country you live in.That's it; your i600 was upgraded to Windows Mobile 6.Please note - the workaround above is for experienced users only! I take no warranty if your device is damaged! You do the upgrade on your own risk and neither the::unwired nor me are responsible for any damages!

League leaders H&W Welders missed out on maximum points as Bangor wiped out a two goal deficit to take a share of the spoils.
The Welders struck in the 17th minute through Gareth Beattie who nodded home from a Dan McMurray cross. They doubled their lead shortly afterwards when Gary Spence's cross come shot sailed over Paul Cairnduff and into the Bangor goal.
Richard Gibson reduced the arears in the 28th minute with his third goal in four games, but when Ethan Boylan was shown a straight red card for a wild lunge after 66 minutes.
With that the Welders were odds on favourites to take the points. But ten man Bangor were awarded a penalty when Andy Long was tripped in the box allowing Mark Cooling to score the equaliser.
On Friday evening a feisty battle at Darragh Park saw Dergview record back to back wins defeating Dundela 2-1.
Dun's keeper Stephen McKay denied Richard Lecky with a first half penalty save but two second half strikes from Lecky and Tom Carlin were enough to win the game. Kyle Owens swept home from close range to resurrect the visitors' hopes but that was as good as it got for the Belfast side. Darren Higginbotham was dismissed, receiving two yellow cards in quick succession, as Dergview saw the game out to take the points.
Last season's promoted teams Armagh City and PSNI met at Holm Park where the Police came from behind to seal their first points in the top flight.
City started the brightest and took a third minute lead from a corner kick when Utan Lennon rose to head home on four minutes. Joe McWilliams turned in a Mark Anderson corner for the equaliser on 25 minutes and five minutes later Ashton McDermott headed in another Anderson corner.
Carrick Rangers beat Larne 2-1 with goals from Ben Roy and Miquel Chines enough to see off their East Antrim rivals. Matty Rooney got a debut goal for the visitors but Robbie Lee Crawford and Aidan O'Kane got their marching orders.
Elsewhere, Ards beat Lisburn Distiller 3-1, Ballyclare Comrades beat Loughgall 2-1 at Lakeview Park whilst Knockbreda and Donegal Celtic played out a 1-1 draw at Breda Park.

Yeah, veiled Avengers reference. Well, not even veiled. Actually not even one of my better Mashup headlines, but very little happened in the NHL that was Leaf-related yesterday, and now we all have to pay the price.
The Marlies begin their AHL Western Conference series against the Oklahoma City Barons tonight as the road team. Our own Anthony Petrielli has extensively commented on the Marlies' playoff drive to this point here, and marlies.ca has a convenient release prepared summarizing all the pertinent series preview-type information. Here's a quick, copied extracted executive summary of the things they think you should know:
(Links after the jump)
– Toronto has posted a record of 7-1 in the 2012 Calder Cup Playoffs. The Marlies are the only team in the playoffs with one loss. (Sweet!)
– Mike Zigomanis ranks second (tie) in AHL powerplay goals (3). (Don Cherry rests his case!)
– The Marlies have surrendered just four goals in their last four road games. (Ben Scrivens makes his case!)
– Matt Frattin and Jerry D'Amigo rank first (tie) in AHL playoff game winning goals (2). (Future clutch-ness! We need that!)
– Toronto and Oklahoma City are the only two playoff teams to remain undefeated on the road this post-season. (I don't have one for this!)
– Toronto continues to lead the AHL in penalty kill percentage (97.2%), surrendering just two powerplay goals against in its last 10 games. (Bizarro world, and Dallas Eakins is Superman!)
– The Marlies rank third in post-season attendance, averaging 6,310 fans per home game at Ricoh Coliseum. (And 6,310 looks empty! Seriously!)
– Jerry D'Amigo ranks first (tie) in AHL playoff goals (6). D'Amigo also leads the league in post-season plus/minus rating (+10). (This will not translate to the NHL, but it's awesome!)
– Rogers TV will broadcast all Toronto home games in round three, while Leafs TV will air live coverage of the road games from Oklahoma City. (What, you're gonna watch "LAWRIE SMASH!" instead? Another Avengers reference. I'm sorry.)
Enjoy your Thursday morning links!
– Manhattan was beaten by the Shore last night, as the New Jersey Devils evened the Eastern Conference Finals at one game a piece. Which annoys me, because at this point, I'm really just cheering for any outcome in the East that shakes Zach Parise loose.
-In what might be one of the most terrifying "total formalities" ever, the NHL declared it's intent to eradicate/change the CBA to the NHLPA Wednesday, paving the way for the next round of negotiations and a probably-inevitable lockout because rich people are greedy. No, really. I know saying that is immensely shortsighted, oversimplified, and neglects real issues that need to be discussed – but [censored], I'm going to be irate if there's not hockey this fall.
-Over at Leafs Nation, our own Ryan Fancey wonders what might happen to Colby Armstrong this summer. It is just so unbelievably hard for me to want that guy on a plane out of Toronto, despite pragmatically knowing that if Burke is a smart GM, he'll find some way to put him on a plane out of Toronto.
-ISS is tinkering with their top predraft rankings again, which is something you should read about now, because you're going to spend most of June furiously debating whether they're at all accurate.
-Alex Semin's agent says his client's done in Washington, paving the way for a path to unrestricted free agency this July. I did not know this, but over the past six seasons, Semin's ranked 15th overall amongst NHL goal scorers with 187. Which makes him, I guess, one of the most talented players ever on the list of those who will inevitably be overpaid by a secretly reluctant General Manager.
–mapleleafs.com wants you to know the Leafs' annual equipment sale is May 26th at RealSports. You can buy authentic Leafs gear – if you're a fan – or actual game-used equipment – if you're weird like that.

The parents of a slain Wylie teen spoke exclusively with NBC 5 Tuesday about the death of their son.
After sharing a photo of their son Ivan Mejia dressed in his ROTC uniform, Flavio and Ana Mejia told NBC 5 their son had planned to join the Marine Corps after graduating from Wylie East High School this year; that's how his family said they want people to remember him.
Both parents are still distraught over his death, which police said came at the hands of two 16-year-old students who also attended Wylie East.
Even in their time of grief, the Mejia family is offering forgiveness to the other two families involved in the tragedy.
"They hold no grudge, they are actually offering forgiveness, even to those who participated in the crime," said family spokesman Benjamin Alicea.
Mejia's father said Ivan was preparing to graduate in May and was gearing up to take the physical this summer to join the Marines. Flavio Mejia said Ivan couldn't wait to turn 18 to enlist.
Mejia's parents said Ivan was active in their church.
Alicea said those who were involved with Mejia at church called him a 'quiet leader.' "He was a unique young man, because he was always willing to help," said Alicea.
His parents said their faith is what's giving them peace right now to help understand Ivan's seemingly senseless slaying. The Mejias said Ivan is with God and his death is part of His plan.
Students React to Classmates Death
Students are leaning on the Wylie East High School family to cope.
"They're the strongest family you can get through tragedy with," said Brooke Lopez, a senior at Wylie East High School.
But Lopez isn't so understanding of what prosecutors describe as a cold and calculated killing.
"They should be treated as adults. They made adult decisions. They went forward with it after premeditating it, and I believe they should be treated as such," said Lopez.
Investigators said Mejia and one of the accused teen killers had been in a relationship with the same girl. Prosecutors argue the teen love triangle prompted the boys to choke Mejia, pinch his nose and stick a sock in his mouth until he could no longer breathe.
According to police, the teens' plan fell apart when officers caught them trying to bury Mejia's body in a creek off state Highway 78 in Garland, about 10 miles from the school.
Family of Accused Teen Is Devastated
Grant Goens represents the family of one of the boys accused in Mejia's death and says the boy's parents are distraught.
"This family wants people to know – this is a devastating thing that's occurred for the entire community, not just for their family, the other family of the accused, or the young man that lost his life," said Goens. "We have three families that have just been destroyed by things that have occurred."
He says his clients had absolutely no knowledge of the son's potential involvement until they were notified by police.
'They love him and they're going to do everything they can to support him – just like any family would their child," said Goens.
The juvenile's parents are asking for prayers for every family involved.
"They covet those prayers. And I would have to believe the other two families would also covet those prayers," said Goen.
The two teens suspected of killing Mejia remain in in custody at the Collin County Juvenile Detention Center.
Meanwhile, the Mejias said they're making arrangements for their son's funeral.

Evans: We toughed it out
Steve Evans labelled victory over Fleetwood Town as Rotherham's hardest fought of the season.
Last Updated: 13/04/13 8:09pm
Steve Evans labelled victory over Fleetwood Town as Rotherham's hardest fought of the season.
Leading marksman Daniel Nardiello set Rotherham on the road to victory with a goal inside three minutes - his 20th of the season - but David Bell equalised two minutes later.
But the winner came after 62 minutes. Ben Pringle's shot was blocked on the line, but the ball bounced to Kieran Agard and he grabbed the chance from close range.
Evans believes his promotion chasers are hitting form at the right time.
"We know what we have to do - win our last three games," he said.
"That makes Tuesday's visit to Bradford a massive game. We can't affect what Port Vale and Cheltenham and the others do, but Tuesday's game has everything and Bradford have some unbelievable players, and I said early in the season they were a title threat.
"We know if we win on Tuesday we go third and two or three of the results today have gone for us.
"In terms of everything we are playing our best football of the season and in the last couple of games the players have shown they have got some steel and some fight.
"We now have two away games, but our only focus at the moment is Bradford but that has been a battle against a good team with a good manager."

Designer trusts in G.O.D.
Educated in Britain from the age of 14, Douglas Young, chief executive of G.O.D., studied at Sheffield University and at the Architectural Association in London. Returning to Hong Kong in 1991, he started a design practice and, five years later, opened the first of his furniture stores with Benjamin Lau.
Why did you study architecture and how does it influence your work? Architecture is a versatile discipline and is rightly called the 'mother of all arts'. The training enables a practitioner to tackle not just architectural projects but other design-related fields, which is something that helps in my present work. For example, traditional architectural considerations of aesthetics, functionality and economy are everyday concerns in what I do now.
What were the guiding factors when you opened G.O.D.?
I decided that it had to be a genuine Hong Kong brand. I wanted to help local people, including myself, to feel proud of our native culture. My original vision was to create a lifestyle store - in other words, selling goods across different categories under one brand. I then learned the basics of retailing through lots of costly mistakes and failures, as none of the team had a background in the sector.
How do you balance business discipline with being creative?
I don't balance it, at least not within myself. I try to be completely creative and my partner Benjamin Lau does all the rational thinking. Before we reach a decision, we always fight it out first.
How do you view arts and design in Hong Kong?
What the Hong Kong creative industry really needs is tasteful and intelligent patronage. If this can happen, then the local arts scene will start to blossom.
Were you always ambitious and what are your main goals at present?
I am not ambitious. We get offers to expand overseas, but we never go for it. I enjoy my modest scale of operations because it's fun. If the business gets any bigger, it risks becoming a monster. I have no interest in managing a multinational company.
What have you done to remain positive in difficult times?
I remind myself that 'that which doesn't kill you makes you stronger'.
What still surprises you about the work environment and how do you get the best out of staff?
It is always the people that surprise me by what they do or how they react to certain situations. Otherwise, my work environment itself is pretty dull.
I try to allow my staff to do something they like or feel passion for, as it is easier for them to exert energy that way.
Where do you see yourself in the next 10 years?
I see myself doing something completely different from what I am doing today, but I have no idea what. I get bored easily, don't like to repeat things and like to take on new challenges.
What do you want to say to young designers?
Banish all your idols, unlearn what you've been taught and live your own life.
From snappy dresser
Young won the '10 Best Dressed Award' by the Hong Kong Fashion Designers' Association in 2005
G.O.D. has collaborated with Coca-Cola, Microsoft, Greenpeace and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

Jimmie Johnson knows the routine. After all, he's had the past four years to perfect being the Sprint Cup Series champion.
Johnson will be at the head table for the fifth consecutive year during the NASCAR Awards Banquet on Friday in Las Vegas. He is there to collect another trophy and more than $5 million in awards and bonuses.
The 12 drivers in the Chase for the Championship will kick off the celebration by taking a victory lap on Las Vegas Boulevard today, and drivers will be encouraged to burn doughnuts on The Strip.
After that, all of the drivers will be at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino meeting fans. The season-ending banquet will be Friday night (9 p.m. ET, SPEED) at the Wynn Hotel.
When NASCAR moved the banquet from New York City to Las Vegas, it created greater opportunities for fans to be part of the ceremonies. In fact, some will be invited to the banquet.
Comedian Frank Caliendo, singer Martina McBride and musical group Rascal Flatts are scheduled to appear during the banquet.
As in the past, Johnson plans to soak it all in.
"It's just been an amazing experience, amazing for myself and the team," he said. "I think it's been great for our sport to see the comparison drawn to other sports that have been able to link together multiple championships. It's been awesome, a ton of fun."
PETTY'S IN CHARGE: Richard Petty completed a deal to take control of his race team.
With the financial backing of Medallion Financial and DGB Investments, Petty was able to buy the assets of Richard Petty Motorsports that was owned by George Gillett Jr. It means the Petty name will remain in NASCAR next year, the family's 63rd year in the sport.
"Today is a great day for me, my family, our fans and our wonderful sponsors," Petty said.
Gillett was the majority owner of the team, but he's run into considerable financial problems. He was forced to sell the Liverpool soccer team, as well as the Montreal Canadiens of the NHL and several ski resorts.
Petty said he will take the lead in the day-to-day operations. The new team will consist of the No. 43 Ford for AJ Allmendinger and the No. 9 Ford for Marcos Ambrose.
PIT STOPS: Brad Keselowski will get a new crew chief next year. Paul Wolfe, who led Keselowski to the Nationwide Series championship, got a promotion to the No. 2 Dodge Sprint Cup team at Penske Racing. "It's been a fantastic 2010 season with Brad and the team and I'm excited about the challenge of moving up to the Cup series next season and the opportunity to continue to build on the legacy of the No. 2 car team with Brad behind the wheel," Wolfe said. ... Sprint FanView might go away. Sprint's contract with Kangaroo.tv to provide handheld scanners that include live television feeds and statistics has ended. Now that cell phones have the same capability to provide a lot of the same information, Sprint isn't eager to renew its contract.

Tell the IRS you're on the move. The IRS is only required to send notices to your "last-known address." So if you don't send the IRS a change of address form (Form 8822), you usually can't claim that you weren't notified in time. But you may be able to rely on your other IRS filings. Recent case: The Tax Court ruled that a taxpayer had provided "clear and concise" notification of an address change when he filed a power of attorney (Form 2848). (Hunter, TC Memo 2004-81)
Lesson: To avoid such squabbles in the first place, send the IRS a Form 8822 whenever you move.
Don't shift personal expenses to your company. A taxpayer's corporation purchased a permanent seat license that allowed him to buy season tickets at a yet-to-be-built football stadium. The corporation made the payments, but the company's owner listed his home address and Social Security number on the application. He also indicated that he intended to use the license personally. Since the corporation was paying his personal expenses, the court said he received a taxable dividend. (Kerns, TC Memo 2004-63)
You can't hide in a tax shelter. Promoters of complicated tax shelter schemes often promote them by saying the IRS will never find out who's involved. Not so. A court ruled last month that the IRS could force a Big 4 accounting firm to cough up the names of the participants. (John Doe v. KPMG, 2004-1 USTC 50,223)
To deduct alimony, follow the rules. A taxpayer lost his chance to deduct alimony payments because the alimony plan didn't meet the IRS's criteria. (Mukherjee, T.C. Memo 2004-98)
Advice: To deduct alimony, payments must meet certain requirements. For instance, they can't be referred to as something else (such as child support) in the divorce decree; they must cease after your ex-spouse dies; they must be paid in cash, check or money order; they can't be reduced when a child reaches a milestone (say, age 18); and first- and second-year payments can't be excessive compared with the third year.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The Jets are getting pounded by critics who say the Tim Tebow Experiment is a bust, but Rex Ryan refused Wednesday to admit it's a failure.
Tim Tebow
New York Jets
- Att3
- Rat102.1
"We've played seven games. We'll see at the end," Ryan said Wednesday. "I'm happy that Tim is with us, there's no question about that. I'll stand by my comments that he's a tremendous football player. He's a quarterback and an outstanding football player.
"What is that role? We will always do what we think is in the best interest of our football team. If that's an expanded role for Tim, if it's more of a secondary role, that's what it'll be."
Tebow is averaging only eight offensive snaps per game. He has rushed 22 times for only 76 yards and he has completed only two of three passes, including one completion on a fake punt.
Ryan is sticking to the company line, insisting that Tebow's presence helps the team because it forces opponents to prepare for him. What would be the definition of a decoy, wouldn't it?
"Would I like to see him average eight yards per carry with it? I absolutely would," Ryan said. "I know teams are preparing for it."
Ryan said Tebow's presence as the personal protector affects "almost every single punt." In fact, the Jets are 3-for-3 on fake punts, thanks to Tebow running and passing. But he hasn't had a huge impact on the punting game. The Jets are ranked 17th in net punting average.

As of Friday, junior center Bobby Billingsley of Memphis (Tenn.) East claimed four offers, but he is optimistic that is only the start.
"I think I'll be getting at least eight more this spring or summer," Billingsley told Rivals.com.
From whom might some of those offers come?
Article Continues Below
"I think Missouri, N.C. State, Purdue, Mississippi State, South Carolina, North Carolina and maybe Clemson," Billingsley said.
So far, Arkansas State, Illinois, Memphis and Ole Miss have offered, Billingsley said. Asked if he had any leaders, Billingsley replied, "No sir."
According to Billingsley, two Southeastern Conference programs seem to be showing the most interest.
"It's probably Ole Miss and Mississippi State," he said. "I talk to the coaches every day .Ole Miss is telling me they want me to come down there. They feel like I'm a good fit for their offense. They're telling me they like what I do. They say I've got good footwork and I'm able to get to the next level. That's what they like their offensive linemen to do. Mississippi State wants me to come down for their junior day on March 31 so they can get a good eye on me - make sure I'm actually my height. Some guys lie about that."
Thus far, Billingsley has visited Memphis and Ole Miss. Of the two, he said the trip to Oxford stood out because of "the family atmosphere down there."
Besides his upcoming trip to Starkville, Billingsley also plans to visit Arkansas on April 21 and attend the Alabama spring game.
In 2011, the 6-feet-2, 275-pound Billingsley was a key blocker for four-star running back Brian Kimbrow. He played guard last season, but will shift to center in 2012. He thinks it will be a smooth transition.
"It's really just snapping the ball," Billingsley said. "And I'm a good snapper overall. I just need to get a little quicker with my snaps."

Kanye West Forbids Kim From Getting Plastic Surgery After Mother's Death?
After losing his mother Donda West due to complications from a cosmetic procedure, rapper Kanye West does not want Kim Kardashian getting plastic surgery.
Soon after Kim gave birth to daughter North West, she had allegedly planned to have a tummy tuck procedure completed to help with her post-baby body, a source told Radar Online.
"Kim was certain that she wanted to have surgery after giving birth because she wanted a head start on losing her baby weight," the source explained.
"Kanye told Kim in no uncertain terms that she needed to put her baby and her life first," the source revealed. "He got pretty emotional because he really didn't want her going through that kind of major surgery. He's still traumatized from his mom's death."
Donda died in 2007 at the age of 58 after suffering "multiple post-operative factors" following a liposuction and breast-reduction surgery.
"Kanye was devastated by her passing and it's made him extremely protective of those he loves," the source explains. "He really put his foot down and told Kim the surgery ban is a condition of being with him."
Kardashian has previously been open about getting botox on "Keeping Up With The Kardashians," but she has denied going under the knife.
The plastic surgery speculation started in earnest after she fired her longtime publicist, Jill Fritzo, as part of her alleged image overhaul. The E! star is reportedly eager to rebrand after allegedly being advised to do so by her boyfriend Kanye West, 36.
"Kim wants to set herself apart from the Kardashian PR machine and Kanye West advised her to build her own team," a source told the New York Post's Page Six.
Fritzo, who is from PMK*BNC, was reportedly replaced with Slate PR co-founder Ina Treciokas. While she is no longer representing Kardashian, she is still working with her sisters.
In recent months Kardashian, who is notorious for embracing the paparazzi, has uncharacteristically kept a low profile and sources claim that this is a part of a plan to change her image. The E! Star recently dyed her brunette locks after West allegedly recommended a new look.
"Kanye has big plans to totally revamp Kim's whole life. He is specific in what he wants her to look like and dress like and she's happily going along with the plan now," a source told RadarOnline.com.
