63xx Rom Updates Available - Sorry T-Mobile Customers!
As is being reported around the net (And in my "Has HP Abandoned" thread from a few days back), HP released ROM updates for the 6340 and 6365 a few days back. These updates fix a number of issues including new GSM firmware, updated WiFi and Bluetooth stacks, and more. Also listed in the enhancement section is the ever popular "Increases [Bluetooth] headset compatibility" and "Improves [GSM] Reception"!
We T-Mobile users need not worry about this ROM update because even though we desperately need it, it won't install on our IPaqs! I speculate this is because of the amount of specialty T-Mobile software needed on the device to support features such as "My Email Triggers" (Which is one of the nicest features they offer IMHO..) and who could live without the T-Mobile logo and jingle ring tone... :roll:
Come on T-Mobile - finish your testing and get this ROM update ready for us 6315 users!

I had given up on my 6340 and resigned myself to selling it so I had packed it away, logs onto the PPT website this morning (as I always do) and ther is the new I have been waiting fo a rom update from HP, this will surley cause me to reconsider selling the ipaq. Loaded the rom patch onto my 6340, no problems, nothing looks to have changed but I go through some testing. Finds blutooth headset, no problem, phone rings and it seems much louder - great. Speaking on the phone is clear and crisp.
I then go out to lunch, the phone rings, my headset activates straight away (this is going well), but then comes the reply from the caller "where are you calling from, I can hardley hear you, you sound like your in a tunnel" sigh!
Back in the box it goes, the sim card goes back into my Nokia 6210 that works all the time every time.
I will not attempt the combined PDA/Phone combanation for a very long time, I have come to the conclution that I need a phone to make calls and I need a PDA to act as my personal computer and they both do there individual roles well.

Well, at least you guys have something in the pipeline. I have a 4700 and, oh, did I mention, we have NO idea when (AND IF!) HP will update these devices...
Sigh. :roll:

HP traditionally is very good at updates. They don't do them once a month, but more like once every 3-6 months.
