Anyone know if the Vario II release is different than the one that was available a month or so ago?

has an update for the M3100 dated october 2007 ( second update now ) most probably also wm6 will download and see :(  its wm5 but on a whole wm5 is more compatible with older games as software developers dont seem to update older games i will stick with this rom as the wm6 is still too limited

I sent my faulty  mda vario II back to t-mobile with a black majik rom on it and they changed it without question.

Maybe I was just lucky!

The link in Paul's first post bumps off to an HTC page, rather like the last link released which was originally from a Dutch update I believe.
Is this an official T-Mob UK update? I haven't yet put my S/N in and maybe that's why I don't see the page pictured in Paul's post.
Just my suspicious mind...

Has anyone got this upgrade to work on an MDA Compact III yet?

I keep getting a 260 error running XP and activesync 4.5 :(

Any ideas?

So I went to the Doctors yesterday. He said, "What appears to be the problem?". I said, "I keep having this dream, night after night, beautiful girls keep rushing towards me and I keep pushing them away." He said, "How can I help?" I said: "Break my arms."

Just tried this on a colleagues Vario II.

Compared to the unofficial WM6 ROM that I've been using on my Vario II, I'm not impressed.

Pugly T-Mobile customizations compared to the WM6 defaults (particularly the dial skin!)

Still using Clearvue PDF reader as opposed to Adobe Reader LE! OMG!  :(

What's with all the silly little icons at the bottom of the Today screen that can only be clicked with a very careful tap of the stylus? All these things can be accessed much easier using hardware buttons or just from the start menu.

Not worth the effort.

Well I have T-Mobiles Ameo and I have just downloaded the update, thing is im wondering, is it actually worth installing the update?

Will my old programs run? Is it going to be really ropey with Office 2003, does it still have the Windows default theme (I hate the T-mobile one!). If I hate it so much when I have done it can it be reversed? There are just so many questions!  :(

Having read through the 'Whats new' manual it just looks like they have changed the icons and skins (which actually dont look any better than the WM5 ones) and they have added a few email features.

Has anyone tried it yet and liked it? If so why?

Sorry for the bombardment of questions but im just wondering if it is worth it.

It's worth it IMHO, it's just slickened up, quicker (in my experience) and has nice goodies like HTML email etc.

Hmm, and I remember a month or two ago when we had the Test ROM from T-Mobile. I sent them a e-mail with attached Screenshots and they swore blind it will never come out for the Vario II.

I'm starting to hate T-Mobile...

Does this upgrade include the radio too?  I'm running black satin with 1.50.00.00 and want to go back to 1.27.12.11.

So -- from what I can gather, the official WM6 upgrade from T-Mo is worth the bother, but it's best to soft reset before the T-Mo customisation kicks in?

If so, what's the best way to identify 'the right time' to soft reset?
