This by all accounts a "minor" upgrade. The AS fix was already posted as a .cab file here from UT Starcom but the "faster boot" times and some other bug fixes are welcomed.

The bigger point of all of this is it serves as a test run for putting on (hacking) later AKUs including 3.x+ on to the 6700. That would be huge accomplishment and something to look forward to. This is the 1st step (hopefully) towards that.

But don't do this expecting tons of new features and tools. It's mostly under the hood tweaks.

Got it Mala, I am excited now about getting AKU 3.XX etc. That way its takes away the power from compnies like sprint which likes to keep their current customers waiting for updates.

The developers have also managed to cut down time required for starting up Pocket PC by 15 seconds on average due to amplified caching algorithms. All other alterations are either beyond attention or target at patching up bugs."

Is there anyway to revert back to the old version? I don't want to install this and be unable to go back.

So does that mean all of our settings/apps/tweaks remain? I guess I'm asking is this like a soft or hard reset?

Well, I did it... works fine, but I can't tell the difference.
