Assuming your pairing problem is the one I'm thinking of, I can happily report that it's been fixed. Other annoying bugs such as the slow display of the contents of the \Windows folder and the slow performance of the camera application have also been fixed. Incidentally, the camera application now allows you to geotag your photos, which is incredibly cool if you use a photo-sharing service that extracts the coordinate data and puts it to good use.

All in all, I'm pretty happy with the upgrade. Windows Mobile 6 works like a charm on the Glofiish.

I'm with Darius on this one. The download from the ETEN link provided went very smoothly and install went exactly as for the last ROM update. I haven't finished re-loading all my apps again, yet, but so far, things look pretty good.

I have to admit, Eten as been one of the most prolific vendors I've seen with ROM updates for their products, and each one has shown noticeable improvements over the last one.

E-TEN says M700 upgrade not officially ready...

http://www.etencorp.com/support/WM6/index.php

"WM6 upgrade for X500 is available NOW! M700 will not be available until May 23 due to the Microsoft OS certification process. We are sorry for keeping you waiting. "

Okay, correction: it works like a charm 99% of the time. There's a significant bug affecting upgraded X500s and M700s that use Windows Mobile's password feature. If you've enabled a password, and for whatever reason decide to take the battery out or run it flat, your device will not recognise your password the next time it prompts for it. Sadly, the only workaround is a hard reset.

PSA: the upgrade for the M700 is back online today.
