Italian firmware uproar

The Italian forum a1k "Tutto sol Motorola A1000" has started a petition directed towards Motorola for their ignorance to provide an updated firmware. Without knowing any Italian, I sort of grasped the idea as it arrived through e-mail. Then a friend of mine read the petition and we found the following.

The initiatiors of the petition (a1k has almost 8000 registered users) are, mildly put, annoyed. Many A1000´s has been sent for repair, but the operators outsourced repair shops can't do anything because the problem is in the firmware. And Motorola does not provide any new versions. Quote from the petition (hastily translation by my friend, excuse me for any errors) which is very well formulated:

"It is amazing that a producer of Motorolas dignity cannot release a new firmware where at least some of the most common bugs are attended to".

Needless to say - I agree. Viva Italia. And by the way, Italy is a very important market for 3, with many video users and lots of interesting 3G cases.
