Motorola has issued three new firmware updates, all of which are available for updating via the internet.

The first, and largest update, is for the Verizon version of the Motorola Q9m. The update is not detected by the standard version of Motorola Software Update. Users must go to the MSU web site (linked below), and select the Verizon Q9m from the list of available phones. A special version of MSU for the Q9m will download and install.



The Q9m update upgrades the Windows Mobile 6 version from AKU 0.2 (which shipped initially) to AKU 0.6. The updated radio firmware version stands at 03.20.29P. It is not clear at this time if the update delivers gpsOne functionality which was added to the Motorola Q9c on Sprint.

The Motorola K1m has received an update as well. The updated software version stands at 01.19.08. This update is both available from Motorola Software Update, and at most Verizon Wireless stores. Please call the store and specifically request the update by version number to confirm availability.

Finally, a new update has been issued for the T-Mobile version of the Motorola W490. The version number is not available currently, nor is a change list. However, Motorola Software Update will identify if your phone needs to be updated.
