Right now there is just the English download and it is 23.3MB in size. There are a ton of fixes and a few enhancements. It is for the hx2700, hx2400 and hx2100 devices. This will totally wipe the memory from your device and cause you to establish a new partnership with your PC. It is strongly recommended you do not restore from a pre-upgrade backup to get your data on the device. Just go through the exercise of reloading everything. I did that Tuesday with my PDA2K and the fairly recent 1.40 ROM. Just a few of the highlights include:
•Fixes issue with CompactFlash (CF) Modem connection and dropped connections.
•Fixes issue where CF slot continuously powers the GSM/GPRS CF Card.
•Fixes some instances of the issue indicated by the "BTTracyCE.exe" error message.
•Fixes issue where Secure Digital Input/Output (SDIO) cards may not be recognized or may drop the connection.
•Fixes intermittent issue where handheld will not Power On and requires a soft reset.
•Fixes issue where the user interface for the handheld would indicate that the user was connected to a network that was not present.
•Fixes issue where Pocket Internet Explorer would stall and fail to load a page if the HTTP post was larger than 16K.
•Fixes issue with an active modem connection where the handheld was unable to re-establish a connection after the USB cable was unplugged.
•Fixes issue with cached pages where a back/forward navigation would not be sent to the Internet.
•Provides an improved Microsoft Pocket Internet Explorer.
•Provides an improved Microsoft Windows Media Player. (Windows Media Player 10?)
•Enables more than one Settings application to be active at the same time.
•Adds a new data connectivity icon to the Title bar. (If this is the same thing that is in my new PDA2K ROM, it is cool, but my title bar has increasingly little space for third party apps to put icons up there.)
•Improves ServerSync application stability.
