Rom Update, Not Ready For Prime Time..........
I updated my xv6700 and was looking foward to the newest features. I was especially looking forward to the push email. Unfortunatley it was not all its cracked up to be. Push email does not work as well as advertised. At least for me. I watched the exchange gurus video and even sent it to my IT director. After he watched it we confirmed that all setting were exacty the way the should have been. But still, emails did not come through unless I was sitting at my desk with my computer turned on and logged onto the network. This pretty much made the feature not only meaningless, but a hinderence. So, what to do? Well I decided to do a hard reset and low and behold..........you cant remove the update. Verizon was kind enough to exchange out my 6700 for a new (old) model and I am happy to say all is well.
I just wanted to let you all know this update has its disadvantages. Other than the "push" feature I didnt really see any other benifits to installing it. Yes, browsing web pages was faster with a "page down" feature and the nice "Windows Mobile" banner at reset was nice as well. But, besides that, I dont see the point. Especially when the SMS "pull" email works as well as any push method ever could.
