A new software update was released for the users of a Motorola i1 on Sprint's airwaves, namely maintenance release RBE.00.03, which comes with a wide range of fixes, enhancements and improvements. The new software was initially set to become available for users of a Motorola i1 device on January 7th, but it was delayed by a few days.

However, the update was already released, and those interested in installing it on their handsets can do so either over the air, or through the web, the wireless carrier announced.

Apparently, the new software fixes more issues than one might have been expected, ranging from the PTT capabilities of the device, to various security aspects, or to applications and services that are available for its users.
