Go on then, someone else go first... ;)

PS I notice at the bottom of the page it says

"*Please note that this process is NOT suitable for the SPV, SPV E100, SPV E200, SPV M500, SPV C550, SPV C550M, SPV M1000, M1500, M2000, M5000 or any other device." - Note how the list of phones it is not suitable for includes the M500. I assume this is a typo.

As O2 still haven't released their AKU2 I think I'll try this on my Exec...

[Guest mthomas50]

Well I'm fairly impressed.

Device appears much quicker (although it always does after a 'fresh install' doesnt it!)

Push email works and is a doddle to set up (assuming you have an appropriately setup exchange server of course)

All in all I'd recommend it!

Now to really customise it I guess...

[Guest Confucious]

But it won't install on an Exec - Country code error ;)

Guess I'll have to wait for O2 to get there act together...

[Guest JonStatt]

But it still uses the old 1.03 radio when we know there are some issues with it, and that a much later one exists for other M5000 clones!

The current beta of Opera doesnt work properly with the new update either. The address bar has got a some kind of font problem so that you cant see the address your typing in :-(

[Guest Confucious]

If you copy Arial back into the font directory Opera should work OK and stop displaying WngDings.

Or so I believe...

So from the messages on this thread it sounds like this update ONLY provides push email, and no other improvements?

My phone still runs like a dog (very unresponsive) and calls regularly just drop. I assume none of this has been fixed?

There definitely are other changes as things like icons at the top of the screen and such have changed. It feels a bit snappier but its early days yet. The process was fairly painless so I don't think it does any harm to try it..other than the fact, you will need to back-up all your data and reinstall any software.

Normal Arial looks better and works

Copy the font from C:/Windows/Fonts by clicking on it and copying it by:

Edit -> Copy

And then Paste into your device in /Windows/Fonts

I applied the update to my M5000 yesterday.

I've noticed that push email doesn't seem to work properly. It can take 10-30 minutes for an email to appear on my phone. I thought it was supposed to do this straight away?

Is this something to do with how my Exchange 2003 server is set up? I can't see anything to say send every 10 minutes, the tick is in the right box to enable push email but still there's a delay.

Or is this an Orange issue?

[Guest Wizard]

My guess is the Exchange Server doesn't have Service Pack 2 installed.

Why not go the whole hog, download the QTEK rom, and get bluetooth stereo while you're at it?

[Guest Confucious]

Where from? And will it install (The M5000 ROM wouldn't).

Get thee along to the XDA Developers forums.
