� Settings: Device properly returns to power off state after an alarm has fired
� SDIO driver update for the SDIO Camera and Socket Scanner
� Reduced power consumption while in hibernation mode.
� Bluetooth build 1.4.1.60
� Removal of currency calculator
� WLAN Driver update build 3.2.4.130
� Several connectivity fixes

See the HP link above for a full list. Like all ROM upgrades, this will require a hard reset and you cannot restore from a backup from a ROM 1.x device.

Well to replace it with a colorless, ugly replacement...of course! (Regretably)

Ed I don't like to disagree with anyone, but in this case you are wrong. Hp has posted two ROM images, one allows you to upgrade to 1.10.10 this one, http://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/fi...oad/20669.html and the other to revert back to the 1.0.XX ROM, http://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/fi...oad/20668.html Also Hp in normal HP fashion has the files reversed on the main web page for the 5500.

Shouldn't we just wait for the WM 2003 SE update instead of reinstalling all of our apps twice?

I guess I read that wrong.
When Ed posted you can not restore from a ROM 1.x device, I was thinking he was saying there is no way to restore a ROM 1.0.X image. As the updates posted by HP do not allow one to backup the current ROM image.
Hp has two images posted, the one HP has as the current version is in fact the old 1.0.xx version. And the one HP has as the previous version is the 1.10.10 version. Neither of the upgrade programs allow one to backup the ROM image to your PC like previous ROM update versions did.
Sorry for the confusion  ops:

Ah. Ed specifically reminds users not to restore their data backups onto new ROMs, as registry settings may have changed.

I usually update as soon as as new Rompaq is released. I think I'm going to hold off on this one...until the WM2003SE rompaq is released. I don't feel like slicking it and reloading it just to do it all again in a month or two (I hope).

Well if you have one of the problems this ROM fixes, it might be worth while to update. If you want the newest Microsoft Reader and Messenger in ROM you will want this update. It seems to fix the notifications database bug. So you don't need to run a program to fix that. It also fixes the bug with the finger print reader always asking for a fingerprint when you turn it on.
Hmm if the warrant is about to expire on your device you may also want this update, seems like it might stress the memory a little more. My device after upgrading seems to have memory problems. :cry:
