Does anyone have any hints as to whether someone NOT using Sprint should install this update? I am on the Telus network, with a "UTStarcom 6700" (they do not use the name Audiovox).

My current ROM version is 1.04.00 WWE
ExtRom 1.04.705
ROM date 09/12/05

I'm not sure what is included with the default Sprint install, but a default install of the 6700 (after a hard reset) has:

- No junkware (really!)
- No Wifi/Phone simultaeneous limitations
- WModem works without any hacks, it's just there and available

What do you guys think?

Ideas?
When push is working that mail icon will be green, you also have to go into activesync and tell it to sync "as items arrive". With both the green mail icon and that setting direct push should be working.

Ok I got the Today Screen Wireless to come up. You need to add a new Registry key and a few other things. Here's the stuff you need to add.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Wireless"]
"Flags"=dword:00000000
"Options"=dword:00000000
"DLL"="netui.dll"
"Order"=dword:00000000
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
"Type"=dword:00000004

After that soft reset and on the today screen you will have a new plugin which shows that your connected to Sprint PCS, if wifi is on or off(if on it will show the current AP you're connected to) and if bluetooth is on/off.

Yes you can sync contacts, tasks, e-mail and calendar.

After you add the new key "Wireless" you then have to

Add new Dword with a name "Flags" and the value is "0"
Add new Dword with a name "Options" and the value is "0"
Add new String Value with a name "DLL" value is "netui.dll"
Add new Dword with a name "Order" and the value is "0"
Add new Dword with a name "Enabled" and the value is "1"
Add new Dword with a name "Type" and the value is "4"

I can answer incoming calls just fine.

When I push the headset button to start an outgoing call, the phone opens the phone tags window.

Are you using phone tags ?? Or did I miss something ??
