Well, if they promised you the processor update last June and it didn't materialize, then I would say your information wasn't very reliable.
An UK dealer had inquired at Meridian and that was the answer I got, which I have posted on this forum at that time.
I don't think it is helpful to spread rumor. Before you know it, it is cited as fact. Then people rely on and when it doesn't pan out, they are disappointed (or worse).
I agree, people's minds work in mysterious ways considering the last posts I see in this thread. So to make things more clear, I was talking about a SOFTWARE UPDATE for the 800, not a hardware update as people are discussing here.
