Thanks

YOu hold the power, and record, and soft reset and it does not go into bootloader?

I've reinstalled the rom 3 times now, no issues iwth hard reset or getting in bootloader mode. I have a bad habit of messing up my install, but i think i'm good now. I've had zero issues thus far, and am taking full advantage of it's functionality. Have you tried a soft reset before a hard reset or bootloader? Do a soft reset, then press the buttons down before it comes back might get you in bootloader.

I wish I could...but im just a small fish in a big pond. I hated the thing, but atleast now I have a keypad to ease my pain on entering the password.

I don't know if it is actually updating or just going through the voice prompt. I should have looked at the PRL version before and after the update, but did not. Any one who has not *228ed in a while on verizon, can you please check this, and report back weather the versions actually change.

Yes, your right. I do remember this now. Been a while since ive done the upgrade.

I am able to pair my device but get out of memory errors trying to sync calendar and notes items from Outlook 2003.

With different roms I've experienced the white screen - if you look at it at almost 180 degrees you can see a faint picture. Usually to fix it I hit the buttons to do a hard reset and do a soft reset in the middle. I've reproduced it a few times. Hope that helps someone.

I just found this - http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...messages+reset - is there a program that normally writes the RAM to the device that could be absent?

Can you please elaborate? So, html will not be available for those who DO NOT use exchange? How about PUSH services like mail2web and emoze?
.
edit: Html does not work with this PUSH service. The "get html" option is grayed out.

Test it, if you can get skype to make and accept calls using the internal speaker, then voila. Most likely all sound will still be redirected to external speaker. There is no built in soft phone app in WM6 so you'll have to download one.

With that being said, and although this isn't exactly a bug, it is likely undesirable by most - The IR beam is set to "on" by default.
Also-
No longer can use "advanced" setting in the standard Search program.

To save battery life make sure you all go into settings->connections->beam and deselect "recieve all incoming beams".

You can use the "included" File Explorer to do advanced searches

Have not had any lockups or issues since flashing, but that's also because I haven't installed many of the programs I had before. Realize that not all apps designed for WM5 will work well with WM6. Sometimes the developer will come out with the same app for WM6, so if you find a certain app behaving differently, then realize that it may not be fully compatible.

I checked and the phone has PRL 50855
