I wonder if the speed difference you guys are seeing is because of the ROM update or simply because all the junk is erased off of it...

Ok It seems that you can't erase the stuff in the extended rom. Well you can but on a reset it comes back again.

Got it working. After I hard reset, I aborted the SPCS customization, and apparently it checks for that. It's updating currently. Can't wait to try out all the new features. Sounds wonderful!

One thing I notice every single time I hard reset is when setting up the screen alignment it is very slow. After the ROM update it is very snappy like on every other PPC I have owned.

Has anyone had to reprogram the msn and msid after the upgrade? Just curious before I take the plunge.

I think MS Voice Command is better because you don't have to add tags or train a voice.

OK, too quiet in here.....

Some questions/things to watch for, for those who have updated:
1) Any difference in BT?? Louder or further range?
2) Did it include Picture Mail, or does it still need to be "hacked?"
3) WATCH TO SEE IF YOU GET THE DSOD WITH SD CARD INSTALLED!!
4) Is BT still disconnecting on its own??
5) Can you still teather?

It's posted in a previous page from a text file. Basically, connect via activesync, yadayada. Just update and don't read it

Interesting... Screen backlight is off, and all it reads is USB v1.00

Nothing on my computer screen, nothing on my phone. Did I screw up or something???

My phone was blank the entire time. There was a progress meter on my computer though.

Hey Everyone, Long time listener, first time caller.....

I only have an Apple G4 at home and work. I was able to extract a .cab from from the update using FileJuicer, and am thinking about installing it directly from a storage card as I won't be able to get to a sprint store for at least a week.. Should this be ok, or is there a chance I'll brick the phone?

I'm getting ready to take the plunge. If someone could answer two questions I would really appreciate it.

1. After you install the new rom, can you do a restore from a sprite backup to reinstall all your software, or do you need to reinstall everything from scratch?

2. Can anyone confirm whether the new rom has the update for push email via exchange server.

Thanks!

I can confirm switching landscape to portrait is almost instantaneous. Speed dialing is now included.

Bunches more CAB files in Ext Rom. Junkware is back

No A2DP. This is the 3rd device so far from HTC that does not have A2DP, they definitely dropped the ball.
