Talk:FOTA (technology)

Initial comment

I'm sorry that I probably make a lot of mistakes when creating this article. I still hope that I contribute and I will learn as I go along. Cmlewan 15:31, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No improvements done, however, in May '10. --88.112.86.161 (talk) 21:35, 8 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

We could do with some further refs adding. I've included a few which contribute to establishing notability of the term. Text books may be a good place to continue. -- Trevj (talk) 14:40, 27 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fourth approach

Then there's the 4th way to use FOTA. Promise but don't deliver. Verizon used FOTA as part of their promotion for the LG VX9100 but has never made any updates of any type available for that phone by FOTA. The two updates that have been released for other update methods were over 40 megabytes each, compressed, and thus very impractical to transfer via the phone system.

Nokia Symbian^3

The Symbian^3 OS and firmware can be upgraded via wifi or standard carrier networks to brand new operating systems, (e.g. Symbian^4)

It's a state of the art phone... I mean it should be mentioned somewhere in this article but i'm not going to write it 220.253.89.67 (talk) 20:11, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

General Observation Block

Now I know I'm new to this smartphone world, but let me see..... choice between spending a fortune maintaining a WAP connection to download over my service provider's network, or simply plugging in to my Internet connected PC and downloading what I want, when I want. Unless the mobile service provider is a) going to ask permission to upload unadulterated upgrades to my phone, and b) not going to charge me for it, then I don't see how FOTA would be more popular than requesting an upgrade installed from the PC. Too complex by half, all this intelligent handset stuff. 149.254.120.140 (talk) 15:05, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
