Samsung SCH-i600 / SP-i600

Samsung confirms an upgrade to 2003 later this year, registered user will get notification. There is a problem with the software for the phones prior to 3/1/04 (s/w WH04 and prior). Seems the microphone volume on the headset is too low. No one can really hear me well, and I use a headset a ton. Verizon was very helpful, and real bone-heads, depending on who answered my call. The local store is making good. Version WK05 of the software fixes the headset mic volume by increasing 6db. You can send the phone to Samsung for the fix, Verizon can't perform the upgrade...
