ROM upgrade for HTC Wizard with AKU2 / A2DP / Push Email - leaked February 08, 2006 [Pocket PC phone] | By Edward J. R. Since hardware manufacturers, mobile operators and distributors are slow in testing, it was bound to happen: ROM upgrade with Push Email leaked! Other story (rumor) is: in testing serious errors (like memory leaks, disconnections, etc) were discovered and this upgrade was sent back to Microsoft for corrections. Yet another story (rumor) is: due to Visto lawsuit Microsoft and others are delaying the release until the legal situation will clear up... 
It's available only in French language version only - that's the only problem as of now (and it works only with HTC Wizard phones like Qtek 9100, etc): The version is 2.8.7.102 with radio ROM 1.13.10, but the file date is december 5th 2005 inside the EXE. Seems rather old... 2 months old... I just want to know if anybody tried it so far and what are the improvements. I know it should have stereo bluetooth and push email, but anything else interesting? I already did an 1.6.7 update a few weeks ago, and reinstalling every program is a PITA... I wish we could do an update without hard resetting... or is there a good backup program that is actually restoring programs and registry in WM5? Edit: After some quick replies from you guys, it seems to be a working test version released for the Qtek 9100. So before using it, you must unlock your device if it's not a wonderfull Qtek, but you knew that It does work, but there might be some issues (like memory leaking, etc.) similar to a beta version. It's dated from december 5th 2005, so not the latest, but must of us here don't mind since it's finally AKU2 for the wizard! To learn more click here. Please note: push email with ROM upgrade and MS Exchange server with SP2 works very well and has been tested by several users already: Exchange and ActiveSync. 1. Direct Push email works well. I have disabled SMS & SMTP on the Exchange frontend server. Notification by HTTPS is much faster. 2. I tried a remote wipe of the device. Very slick. Within a few seconds of issuing the remote wipe from the Exchange front-end server, my device started to sync, rebooted, and when it came back up, was as if I had performed a hard reset. 3. I've played with security policies. I enabled a forced password in Exchange, and on the next sync, I was notified (on the PPC) that I must set a password. Credit: panayiotis.
