Cingular Releases the MSFP for the 8125
Posted by Darius Wey in "SOFTWARE" @ 03:45 AM
"Direct Push Has Arrived! Microsoft Direct Push from Cingular is a scalable and cost-effective wireless email solution that enables mobile professionals to easily stay connected to their Microsoft® Outlook® and Office® information while on the go. Cingular's Direct Push service is designed specifically for companies with Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 interested in deploying wireless email on the Cingular Windows Mobile 5 portfolio."
As promised from the press release that was published a few days ago, Cingular today released the free MSFP update for the 8125. The download link points to HTC America, who is hosting the update. I've heard some interesting reports from our own readers and readers elsewhere that the ROM is incomplete, so install at your own risk (at least, until Cingular patches it). :|
Update 3:56PM MDT by Janak Parekh: SPT contributing editor Jerry Raia wrote in with the following response from HTC's PR folks about the corrupt download:
:| We'll keep you informed.
Update 7:28PM PDT by Darius Wey: The proper 50.1MB version appears to be up, alive and kicking. Go get it. ;)

Quote: As you know, Cingular launched Microsoft Direct Push Wireless Email today. One component of this launch was that customers would be able to download updated software for the Cingular 8125 from a link on the HTC America web site.
While HTC always try to get software updates to customers as quickly and securely, as with all technology there are occasional hiccups to the distribution timetable. Due to technical issues, this link was not working properly. As such we have removed the link from the HTC America site to correct the outstanding problem and so that customers would not download the software in error. HTC is working diligently to get this link working correctly and we continue to monitor this as a top priority.
Progressive service and customer care are always top of mind at HTC. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused and plan to have the update back up as soon as possible.
