The first maintenance release of ROM upgrade for the T-Mobile MDA Vario available
January 07, 2006 [Pocket PC phone] | By Edward J. R.
It looks like T-Mobile (here: UK) is among those operators, that are releasing upgrades for their Windows Mobile phones promptly...
Unfortunately this ROM upgrade doesn't contain yet AKU 2.0 (push e-mail and 2 profiles for stereo audio over Bluetooth) but it just shows that T-Mobile is committed and indicates indirectly that AKU 2.0 is coming in March 2006:
Software overview:
This version is the first maintenance release for the MDA Vario.
Next Release:
The second maintenance release is expected March 2006.

Please read the following before you begin upgrading.
- Before upgrading your MDA Vario, the battery must be fully charged.
- In order to save your personal data, you can either use a storage card or use Active Sync which will save your data from your device to your PC (note that Active Sync will only save data from Outlook such as contacts, tasks, appointments, files etc).
- All email settings will be lost and therefore they will need to be reconfigured - please make a note of these prior to running the upgrade.
- All personalised data including software applications, T-Mobile downloads, web favourites, any POP3 emails, SMS, MMS, and other settings would be erased during the upgrade process.
- The upgrade process takes about 20-30 minutes and must be conducted from the PC via a USB cable (please ensure you have downloaded the file to the PC first not directly to the MDA Vario device), please do not run the upgrade over the air or via Bluetooth. During this time please do not do anything else with your PC, such as start another application like Microsoft® Word or Excel because your MDA Vario may well crash.
- During the upgrade process do not allow the screen saver or power save mode to kick in, as this may also cause problems.
- Once the upgrade has been completed you will need to reload any applications - applications provided on the separate CD when the device was bought, but also separate applications that you have bought and loaded onto the device.
