Oops, I made a Threaded SMS post, if you don't mind, you can go ahead and whack that one, I'll post it here! Sorry!

Hey peeps. How are you liking the threaded SMS?

The best improvement I've noticed is not even the threaded part. One thing I loved about the stock Treo 700wx was I could send a SMS to an email address if I wanted too. With the i760 you would type a contact it would just give you their mobile number to use. Sure you could manually type an email address in there, or reply to a SMS that was sent from an email account, but it was not the same.

Well, I noticed I can compose an SMS right to an email address.

It's the little things that make me happy.

I'm not absolutely certain this didn't work before (only a i760 owner for 6 days before the upgrade), but I notice that I can have simultaneous, active Bluetooth connections with my headset and GPS.

I believe when I tried this last week, Live Search couldn't communicate with the GPS while I was talking on my headset.

Bluetooth pairing is automatic IF the passcode for the device is 0000.

Will Sprite Backup restore installed programs with 6.1?

Title says it all...Will Sprite work from a recent Backup?

Do I need to set it to allow for upgraded OS first?

OR...Do I Need to REINSTALL everything manually?

Thanks

Sorry for posted this in the wrong place...feel free to move it to install thread

Here is the list I have found so far. I am going to continue to post what I find.
  1. Bluetooth Pairing is automatic doesn't ask for a passcode (unless you have a custom on set)
  2. Customer Feedback to send usage data back to microsoft
  3. Getting Started directions added instead of help
  4. Remote Desktop Mobile included by default
  5. Task Manager changes to show CPU usage and it appears to show all running processes not just programs
  6. OneNOte Mobile added to the Office Mobile Programs
  7. Automatic detection of Exchange Server Settings
  8. Overall Performance seems to have improved a bit, a lot less waiting for programs to open (this may just be due to the reset of my device, but I have done the reset before and I could sware it took me longer in the past to reload everything)
  9. Text message threading with Spell Checker
  10. Managed programs added
  11. Bluetooth issue when in call corrected
  12. Domin enrollment
  13. Vpn connections now work without wifi
  14. Wifi search for networks will now list all networks within range
  15. Defalt signicure of Sent from my Windows Mobile® phone.
  16. You can switch to view processes in task manger

Bluetooth with multiple devices works a little bit better, but still has the problem of switching between more then one ear piece.

I used to use my bluetooth earpiece and my bluetooth gps all of the time without an issue on the old version. The problem you should have saw was that the phone wasn't updating your maps when using the bluetooth earpiece, since the data connection could not be made while a phone connection is in progress. That is an issue which can't be worked around unless you add a second number to the phone (which I am not even sure this phone can handle).
