I received this email last night, and it says to keep secret until today, so I guess it is OK to post:

"Guys -
I wanted to give you a quick heads up on some releases we're announcing
tomorrow (please keep confidential until Tuesday):

1) Support for Symbian S60 3rd Edition phones

2) Mobile Application Storefront launch with personalized listing of
the top apps available for each user's specific phone

3) Network Address Book where your communication history and media
items associated with a person are integrated into the contact details on
the web

4) Simplified social network sharing through automatic photo uploads
from the phone to sites like Facebook, Flickr, Twitter, FriendFeed, and
more, as well as multiple image uploads at once from the web

All items will be rolled-out in the November timeframe.

As a part of the first item, you'll also soon see our sync updated in a way
that will dramatically improve manual sync mode and dealing with dupes.
We're not discussing this publicly, but I thought you should know.

News starts breaking tomorrow. We'll probably hit the forums around
mid-day. I'm in the UK for the announce and am utterly exhausted, so I'm
out. That's also my excuse for the lame Bcc route to the handful of people
we're hitting up with this news.

Let me know if you have questions. Thanks for your ongoing support!"

Not sure when this will actually be released, but parts sound pretty interesting!! I will post id I hear anything else, but the site doesn't show anything on it yet.

Yea, unfortunately, the 800w has a 320x320 screen. This is an odd resolution for a wm device. There are numerous programs that do not work well w/that resolution.

true but resolution shouldnt come into play when its just doing a backup of information u can do the backup in the background. but i could be wrong i guess.

Probably the most pressing issue (and the thing I liked about Dashwire w/my Touch), is that Plam uses their own SMS app. That app essentially replaces the wm6.1 threaded app. Anything that relies on connecting to the native wm app will not work.

I would like to install Dashwire in my TP right now, but I'm thinking about hard-resetting to fix the little bugs like text lag and the like....will I need to get a seperate backup program before I reset or can I install Dashwire now, back up, then hard reset and re-install Dashwire and retain all my info (I really wanna keep my texts) that I had prior to the hard reset?!?!?!...

P.S. I have already synced my contacts and certain media files normally thru activesync...will I retain those when reset my TP or will they erase when/if I sync again with my computer?!?!?

MeTA-4z....Dashwire should restore your ontats and image files, but it won't put your text messages back on your device. I would suggest backing-up all your PIM data and re-installing all your texts, contacts and other PIM data that way. If you have SPB Backup or Sprite you should be set...if not, here is a linc to a free PIM backup app:
