Are there bugs in the WM6.0 implementation of the IPAQ 21x and 11x?

FlexMail By the notice on their website, WebIS seems to think so…..

iPaq 21x, 11x users Notice:FlexMail is not compatible with these devices at this time. We believe there are bugs in the implementation of Windows Mobile 6 that HP has on these devices that cause data corruption and crashes with FlexMail. At this time we do not see any resolution until HP updates the ROM. (reference)

The IPAQ 110 that I reviewed was a loaner that I had for about a month.  I didn’t experience any significant problems with it, but having a loaner for a month is not the same thing as owning and using a Pocket PC every day.  Reading through the forums here and around the internet, these new IPAQs do appear to have some issues. 

It is interesting that a credible Pocket PC software developer, like WebIS, has posted a statement like this one on their web site. 

Have you encountered what you believe are bugs with your new IPAQ?

    If you set FlexMail 2007 so that it doesn't check for messages at startup and only download the headers of messages (or the first 10k or so), the 'beeping' crash described above won't occur. Avoid downloading large attachments too.
    It does have an occasional tendency to 'lose' the message store so it might be best to make a backup.
    I've used it heavily for over a month and it's worked fairly well with my IMAP accounts.

    Not sure if it's related to this or not, but my 210 (and many other people's 210s that I've heard of) experience significant battery drain (even while in standby) when a CF card is in use. Adjusting CF card power settings in the Settings menu does nothing to correct the problem.

    My 214 won't run flexmail, it crashes with a fast alarm type sound. So does live mail too, so I think WebIs may be right.
  • I wish I could have stayed on my X50V running WM2003SE, but the connector on the PDA to sync it was breaking, so I got an X51V running WM5 since the iPAQ 211 running WM6 was not out yet at the time.

    I still wish I was on WM2003SE with my X50V.
