iMate released the long awaited ROM update i-mate for SP5 / SP5m aka "HTC Tornado" - i.e. popular Microsoft Smartphone mobiles with built-in Wi-Fi! Information from i-mate follows.

* * * * *

Download the Operating System 2.6.331.2 directly from
ftp://ftp.clubimate.com/

* Note that upgrading your SP5m will erase all data on it. Please backup your device before performing the upgrade on it

The main improvements from the updated Operating System, 1.5.331.4, are:

Microsoft Messaging and Security Feature Pack (MSFP):

Addition of the MSFP allowing Direct Push email, remote device wiping, security policy enforcement and Global Address List Lookup for customers using a Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 with Service Pack 2.

It is now possible to beam files over Bluetooth using the file manager.

Improved radio functionality:

Microphone level has been boosted.

Cell Broadcast display is now supported.

Line2 functionality introduced.

Busy Tone corrected.

Improved the echo suppression.

Updated MMS:

MMS will now operate until there is only 1 Mb of free storage space. Previously this limit was set at 4Mb.

Improved Pocket Internet Explorer:

Frames functionality now supported in the browser.

Quick navigation using Page Up key (key 2) and Page Down key (key 8).

Keypad Light Timing:

The timeout of the keypad light can now be set. There is a utility in the 'Utilities' section of the SP5m support pages that will let you set it. Note that setting the keypad light over 8 seconds will cause significant reduction in battery life.
