"Direct Push Has Arrived!
Microsoft Direct Push from Cingular is a scalable and cost-effective wireless email solution that enables mobile professionals to easily stay connected to their Microsoft Outlook and Office information while on the go. Cingular’s Direct Push service is designed specifically for companies with Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 interested in deploying email wirelessly on the Cingular Windows Mobile 5 portfolio. "


Optimizing Productivity with Microsoft Outlook Mobile
Microsoft Direct Push sends email, calendar, contacts and tasks directly to a mobile professional’s Pocket PC or SmartPhone as soon as items arrive/change on the server, ensuring users are always in the know. Mobile Professionals can respond to email and manage documents efficiently with the same familiarity as their desktop experience. Direct Push is available on the popular Cingular 8125 Pocket PC.

 

Innovative Direct Push Architecture
Direct Push is not just great for mobile professionals, it’s great for IT. Direct Push operates without 3rd party middleware, client access licenses (CALs) or new device software. For companies already running Exchange Service 2003 Service Pack 2, the solution may required little or no changes to the IT infrastructure, resulting is simplified management, lower up front investment and the opportunity for a rapid return on investment. The service includes a number of security features including remote policy enforcement, remote device wipe and password enforcement to protect sensitive corporate data.

 

The Cingular Advantage
Cingular takes the complexity and risk out of deploying Direct Push by providing pre-purchase consultation, a portfolio of Direct Push enabled devices, service-specific rate plans and the specialized technical support business customers have come to expect from the market leader for corporate wireless email.

 

Cingular Provides a Fast, Extensive Network
With Direct Push and the Cingular ALLOVER™ network, employees can be connected and productive in more places with the largest digital voice and data network in America. They can travel internationally and still get their email with Cingular’s data roaming agreements in more than 85 countries worldwide and voice roaming in more than 165 countries. The ALLOVER network is the largest digital voice and data network in America covering over 273 million people.

 

Are You Ready for Direct Push?
The Direct Push technology is incorporated into Service Pack 2 for Exchange Server 2003 and a firmware update to the Windows Mobile 5.0 devices called the Messaging and Security Feature Pack (MSFP). With these updates in place, customers are ready to provision Windows Mobile 5.0 devices with Cingular’s Direct Push rates plans and go.

    Can the Cingular 8125 be used as internet connection for a laptop?

    The file posted on the HTC web site is corrupt. It gives you the following error when you run it:

    "The contents of this file cannot be unpacked. The executable you are attempting to run has been corrupted. Please obtain another copy of the file, verify its integrity, and try again."

    The 2.25 ROM file is 39.5MB in size while the 1.8 ROM update was 53.7MB it seems that the file is not complete for download.

    FYI, the ROM update should be around the 50 MB mark. Several users (myself included) have downloaded the 39 MB version and report that it's corrupted. There's a thread also in Cingular's forums with some clueless reps from HTC stating that the update is still in dev, and others stating that there's no ETA for the fix.
