So that's about July then, judging by their past performance. It would be fine if they actually altered the release because of testing, but the last XDA I romset was all dated a good three months prior to it's release.
Scene: a dusty office somewhere in London...
"So you've spent three months testing the device, what are your findings?"
"There's a load of bugs, most of which make the device pretty unstable, but many can be easily fixed with a little development effort. Here is our 100 page report."
"I'm afraid our development department is busy writing a custom menu system for the XDAII that replaces the usable PPC2K3 interface with a load of rubbish and dead links, using up all the resources on the device. He's also got to go back to school for his GCSEs," tosses report in bin, "we'll just send it out anyway, the guys at XDA-developers will be able to get it working."

Upgrade to ROM 1.60WWE !! bluetooth com port is working!!
Hello Everybody
In fact there is an UPGRADE ready and existing, but not yet PUBLIC,
it is one nice 40 MB RUU file which will uprgade your unit to english language:
Microsoft Pocket PC version 4.20.0 (Build 13252)
ROM version: 1.60.00WWE
ROM date: 12/03/03
Radio version: 1.06.01
Protocol version: 1337.16
ExtROM version: 1.60.06
I have it, and I am willing to share! Please email me for the ftp details.
The most important change is that bluetooth has finally COM ports functionality! and EMTAC or SOCKET Bluetooth GPS works well with it!!
(tested myself). As it is quite new, I may want something in return, like serial number for some applications, but I am looking only for the few ones.

I have the german update.
But I have promised not to share it.
I have tried the Bluetooth-Serial-Com, but I didnt have success.
With TomTom I cant see the Com-Port (4/5)
Please tell me a little how to....

Give us screenshot to proof it.
I think if you really want to share, you don't need any return.

@axbl
tell us something about the 32proc. boundary...

---

The problem of the 32 processes is in the Microsoft Pocket PC System. The Update I have is Version 4.20.0 (Build 13252).
I dont think that the problem of the 32 prozesses is solved. This Problem is on each Pocket PC (IPaq, ...).
But only on the XDA/MDA 2 there are so much prozesses provided by the vendor (T-Mobile, O2) at system start.
The Update reduces the count of processes. This is the only thig T-Mobile can do without mícrosoft redisign Ppc2003. I count 19 Processes. then I started 20 applications (TomTom, Word, Excel,...), and there is a count of 26. Is this better thane before the update ???

---

yes, indeed, that sounds better. Can u tell us, which processes are gone in difference to the old firmware?
What did T-Mobile change?
Regards
Dejan

---

Sorry, I dont have a list of the processes before the update. Please list them here, and I will tell you.

I'm downloading the promised update from xda222's ftp server as I write this, but (judging by the name of the .exe file) it's for T-mobile in Netherlands. Not much use to me, but maybe of use to someone. Someone on T-mobile in the Netherlands maybe? :roll:
The file is called RUU16006WWE_T-mobile_NL.exe
I'm not going to run it - I depend on my PCs and my XDA2 too much to risk screwing it all up with a trojan or an unverified ROM file.

---

Shoot. It does not give any backup or restore uptions, just tosses it onto the machine ..... too late to go back now ..... will post the result in 10 minutes .... it's updating my Asian O2 XDA now .... (for use on Vodafone in the Netherlands)

---

... Phfew ... everything works ... still simfree, just customized t-Mobile now ...

---

I just bought a Chinese Version XDA2 and the rom is Version 4.20.0 (Build 13252), is that the latest version we can have?

Screenshots are of no use, you'll see no difference other than the T-Mobile customizations. If anything has changed, it will merely be minor HTC bugfixes under the hood. Main issues have to be resolved by MS, not by HTC. And since MS only brings out quarterly updates, don't expect any major overhauls until february 2004.
