New imate SP5 v2.5 ROM - Excellent stuff so far!

[Guest MitchellO]

Last night after reading about the SP5 update I decided to do it simply because my SP5 needed a hard reset anyway. It was getting really slow, the start menu was terribly slow, and it generally needed a clean after all the stuff I have installed and uninstalled in the few months I have had it (never reset it yet).

Well I am glad I took the opportunity to update to the latest ROM!! After a slow download, it was finally sitting on my desktop. I decided to hardreset the phone before even starting the update to make sure nothing got in the way of it starting. I set the phone as a guest and started the upgrade. It took a bit less than 10 minutes.

The new ROM is definately faster than the old one, both when the phone is clean (aka. nothing extra installed) and when apps are installed. I removed the application lock, and with Total Commander, TCPMP and a few other apps installed it runs perfectly!!

I even gave the exchange email a try with a trial account from 4smartphone, but they don't support the push email yet. Does anybody know of a Exchange provided that supports MS Push Email and have a free trial?

Cheers guys!

I see you have a i-mate (SP5). The clubimate email they give you free when you register supports push. 10mb as far as i remember.

I haven't been able to get push working with clubimates exchange. I can sync the mail manually but nothing is getting "pushed" to my phone ;)

Any ideas?

I'll test it out tommorow once i setup my new work email too.
