The reason I am interested in WM 5.0 is the purported direct integration of Exchange 2003 and WM 5.0 via some push technology call the Messaging & Security Feature Pack. Has anyone brave enough to make the upgrade used this integration? Any thoughts? :?:
Brave or not, it's not available yet. Q1 as promised...Do a search?
Thanks
Thanks, as you are surely aware some folks in this forum may be party to prerelease versions and/or even working on it's development. Just wanted to check with the group.

Arrogant Microsoft knows better and removes synchronization over Wi-Fi possibility in ActiveSync 4.0 and Windows Mobile 5.0 - more information available
May 23, 2005 [Wireless (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ...)]
Competition is adding features in new versions of mobile platforms. Microsoft is removing some features.
We have mentioned it already previously, that no longer ActiveSync over Wi-Fi will be possible in Windows Mobile 5.0, and now there is some addtional background information available about this serious mistake of Microsoft with regard to Wi-Fi synchronization:
the wifi/ethernet sync capabilities had to be removed in ActiveSync 4.0 for security reasons. When decision was made, there was plenty of disappointment internally and a number meetings where smart folks tried to find ways to keep the feature in without risking security and without slipping the schedule commitments we had made. Unfortunately, that ended up not being possible for AS 4.0.
To read more on this topic (rather lame justifications from Microsoft employees) click here.
Conclusion: again Microsoft behaves in a totally arrogant and disrespecting (for end customers) way: removes the feature that was heavily used by many people. While other corporations are innovating strongly (example: next version of iTunes will include native support for Podcasting, while next Windows Media Player and ActiveSync will not support it), Microsoft is removing features and not innovating at all - just imitating features that others had 2-3 years ago (as it is with camera API in Windows Mobile 5.0). Clearly Microsoft needs some urgent changes because something is wrong there.
This is the only reason i'm not upgrading to WM5...
WM5 needs AS4 and AS4 does not support sync over wifi, this is the feature i love most in my ppc, getting my mails, documents... everything while sitting in a meeting room.
hell... i need some alternate to activesync b4 i upgrade to wm5
My guess is that it won't be long before some third party is out with a solution that fixes that problem (fake serial driver accessible via WLAN or something).
I really cannot believe this!! I had a Himalaya and was happy with it. I bought a Wizard now for good money, just to have WLAN/WIFI and - I swear to god - in order to use it for Activesync!! I had a WLAN SD Card in my old Himalaya and it worked FINE!! Damn!
This news are almost a year old
Hello all,
First off, sorry for the long post, I'm sure it won’t happen again. :wink: I'm new to the forum & Cingular 8125. I had a Treo 700w for about a week but I got rid of it because of ActiveStink & Verizon's poor service in my area. Now I have a shiny new Wizard and am anxious to get it all dialed in. So far I have not purchased anything for it except the Plantronics 640 BT headset & BoxWave screen protector. I'm in real estate now, so I'm in car a lot and plan on getting TomTom5 & a vehicle mount. Easy access to call & e-mail contacts, hopefully sorted by FIRST name and using my own custom Outlook forms would be GREAT! Is this available anywhere?
:arrow: I guess what I'd like from experienced users is a brief list of really basic useful software & accessories that have been proven to work by you. Just basics, like backup, contact mgmt, SD mini cards, SmartKey(?), etc. In my brief Treo days I found a really useful thread on a Treo forum ( http://guide.treonauts.com ) that really helped me plan & budget for stuff I might add to the device, and it would be really cool if forums WM users could have a similar thread....maybe this can be it? :idea:
:?: Also, I've been reading a lot of threads about custom ROM updates here, which seem to be helpful to a lot of you, but it sounds like there may be a new "official" ROM from Cingular released soon, so I am not sure of whether I shoudl update my ROM right now. I don't work for a company with an Exchange server, so I just set my e-mail acct to check IMAP every 5 minutes. SO, the only feature I really want is voice dialing over BT. Is that (A2DP) part of the HTC ROM with radio vs. 01.16.11?
Thank you all, I really appreciate your feedback!
Voice Dialing via Bluetooth can be accomplished with the shipped ROM.
If you are happy with Cyberon voice dialer then you're already set, just record your voice tags.
For real voice recgonition, buy Misrocost Voice Command and find the Cab file or Registry Hacks you'll need to hi-jack the button ffrom Cyberon )posted many times in these forums).
For me the reasons to flash one of the 2.0 Roms: speed, stability, inproved battery life.
Does anyone have a link for this download? I have the new AT&T Tilt working with BB Connect, but cannot find the download to the BlackBerry Application Suite for Windows Mobile 6.
Don't think the app suite is released as of yet.
Why would you want blackberry suite?
As mentioned above, the Blackberry Application Suite does not exist. Its never been released. not sure if it ever will be.
But if you are looking for Blakcberry Connect for WM, that does exist. See my post on this thread. And in the future, you might try searching some.

HI, I have been battling with BBC against to our BES due to policies and I heard from a very reliable source that the product will be ready for our deployment Q32008... So its is coming and I think will support the encryption etc and will be support friendlier since the interface is a propiraty BB interface. Plus, there aren't many security risks around virus etc since it will be a virtaul application suite that supports any BB application and doesn't integrate to VM mail client etc.... So, you can have your WM as a standalone OS once you minimize the BAS... These are great benefits for enterprise adoption and really simplifies the risks around the device support when compared to BBC running on any WM device (or symbian etc)...
as of 2009, it hasnt been released. At least its been showcased and that bring a hope for it to be soon.
it been 2 years since when RIM Compeny said they gonna release it but they haven't released it yet!
its a vaporware.. playing on our patience...
it would make WM so much more powerful... and blackberry so much more popular... when will the two organisations ever realise it?
Here you go (for the Touch Pro): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=626456
Microsoft announced that WP7 devices that they are currently releasing will NOT receive any language updates and that country's that are currently blocked from Marketplace/Xbox Live will always be blocked on those devices.
I really want the HD7, but also want to be able some time in the future to set the device to my native language (Dutch) and to use the Marketplace for the Netherlands once developers start putting dutch apps on there.
I've seen some ROM's already posted here and was wondering whether such things can be changed in ROM's once Microsoft releases more languages on WP7 in mid 2011.
The question really is:
Can i get a HD7 already and have good faith that this will be able in the future (with all the talk round jailbreaking the OS or custom ROM's) or should i wait for other device releases in the Netherlands and stick with poor old WM6 for the time being?
Moved to General.
Just learned that all Windows Phone 8 have limitation in BT, HID tools e.g. an external keyboard, cannot be connected. What reason MS has for such a thing is not explainable. I want to use a foldable keyboard but cannot. Is here someone who knows to fix the BT stack? We all should complain by MS. the same with the weekly calendar and notes or to does. I like my Samsung ATIV S but not this nonsense from the software - OS builders. In which world do they live?

We feel your pain. I spent the time to explain the BT stack issue in your other threads about this same topic. I also included links to the Survey MS site to add your votes so that this will be included.
I can't imagine we will have to wait much longer for them to accept it. Who knows, so irritating to not have a keyboard.
Microsoft ran out of time when releasing WP, that's why so many features are missing.

MS on WP8 updated the BT stacks that devs had access to and simply left one of the key six out. Do we know that they ran out of time, because it certainly seems like they just don't know if they want to support it, vs not having time for it...
