Those of you who have an iPAQ hw6500 will want to go to the HP site and check the support section,

A new  ROM update has been released  [1.20 ROM Upgrade]. It seems like its fairly important, as it resolves a lot of previously noted problems, and provides some pretty cool enhancements (like a new GSM/GPRS Radio Stack). The ROM is dated 13-Jul-06, and it replaces the 1.12 ROM that was released just 6 days prior to the 1.2 ROM (released 07-Jul-06).

A list of the Fixes and Enhancements can be found behind the cut >>
