It has v 2.11 installed and I can't find where or how to get CE 3.0.


The upgrade consists of replacing the memory chip installed in the
unit. It's not really a software upgrade, but a hardware upgrade.

Best bet is to find a broken 1550 and salvage the chip from it. Keep
an eye on E-Bay for broken 1550's or perhaps even functional ones.
Last I heard, they could be had for $30 - $50 or so.

I accidentally ran over my 1550 last year (except for the smashed
screen, it appears intact!) and got a 1530, then did the chip swap to
upgrade it to a 1550.

I got a 1550 that's broken, however; the memory chip is fine. If you
want, just e-mail me your adresss...
