You deserve a cookie for this information.

I check every day for an update and nothing. I'm excited. I would imagine this would be a ROM/OS upgrade but why do they say only business customers?

It should also be a newer ROM than the one I am using now because the one I have doesn't support push email.

Re: New toy: Windows Mobile 5.0 phone

I officially ordered a Treo 700w. It was supposed to come yesterday, but as I wasn't home (stupid day jobs!), they didn't leave it

I won't be there today either, but will sneak to the Post Office tomorrow morning to pick it up

I know most of you don't like Treos, in the sense of how they work with WM5, but I have used a Treo extensively for work and I like the design. I spent a good amount of time playing in the Verizon store as well, seems nice

Picked up a 2GB SD card too :smoker:

I hope you have small fingers to type on that keyboard.

Re: New toy: Windows Mobile 5.0 phone

My fingers are fine, they are worse on my Blackberry for work :s

Grab the ROM update from Verizon and get cracking.

Re: New toy: Windows Mobile 5.0 phone

Will do as soon as I get it - won't be until tomorrow morning.

I'm excited

Rather interesting that Activesync won't be used on Vista:

Re: New toy: Windows Mobile 5.0 phone

Hey Guys -

I got my phone, thing is freaking sweet. I did the install on my PC, got ActiveSync setup, etc, everything synced and works great. I do have a question though....

I found this online - http://dts.vzw.guided.atomz.com/exe...433&issue=How do I setup my email account(s)?

Worked like a charm, but it creates a seperate account. When I first synced to my PC, it created a sort of default inbox and such. How do I alter that, so that my new e-mail that gets downloaded through my phone goes into that box? Do I have to delete the stuff on my phone and start new or something? I tried to alter options of the accounts, but I don't think the default account is listed...

Re: New toy: Windows Mobile 5.0 phone

When you setup a POP3 account it will create a new folder. "Outlook E-mail" is your mail from your computer.

 

[kcnychief]

Re: New toy: Windows Mobile 5.0 phone

Right, that's what I figured.

BUT, what if I want the Treo to sync with my PC, but still receive, to the phone, the same e-mail that would have gone to my PC if it was open?

Basically I have a GMAIL account that goes to my PC, and I want it to go to my phone as well when I'm away from the PC, and then sync with the PC when I return.

Cingular/HTC Firmware (ROM) Update is available today.

UPDATE
There seems to be a problem with the file. It doesn't appear to be uploaded to HTC's web site correctly (it's only 39MB, the leaked ROM I applied last week was 50MB).

HTC has a new 3G Microsoft-based phone available

Re: New toy: Windows Mobile 5.0 phone

3G makes me think it will be Verizon or Sprint.

Check back soon for the download link to the required updated firmware for the 8125 and 2125. We are currently experiencing technical difficulties with the download.

I told them that yesterday.
