Would be nice if it's true. Would be even better if it also applied to x50v.

It is doom to come as too many flaws still unresolved. the question is when and how many of these are we going to get before everything works right.

I went down to Dunkin Donuts this morning and they said that for an A07 Rom Update Rumor and $1.95 I could get a cup of coffee!

Who says these rumors are useless?

I just took delivery of a new Axim x51v and it has ROM A08 (03200600) :rolling:

This is obviously a joke, right?

Nope..... says it right here on the system information screen. Noticed it when I tried to install the A06 ROM I downloaded, and it said the current ROM is A08

That usually means a new ROM will be released in a few days. A few users usually receive units with the new ROM a couple days before the ROM update is released on Dell's website.

I'm excited for the Push Email and added bluetooth profiles, but I'm not holding my breath that Dell will actually fix any of the problems caused by ActiveSync's sync shedule. I imagine we will still have to set syncing to "Manually" in order to have working devices.

i have a copy of the new cd that comes with a x51v. my friend got a new axim about 2 weeks ago. can you find anything on the cd about the rom version?

One of the things that doesn't make sense is why is the part about "that enables push email from Microsoft Exchange".

The Axims don't have any type of radio built in to them, either GSM or GPRS. How is email going to be pushed to them?

It makes me wonder the validity of the report.

They certaily do have radios built into them, both bluetooth and wifi.

My understanding is that Email will be "pushed" to the device anytime an internet connection is active. Am I right?

Ok, yes they have Bluetooth and WiFi. I used the term "radios" generically and should have specifically referred only to GSM or GPRS.

To me, push email as the way Microsoft is advertising it, is similair to the service that RIM is offering with the Blackberry devices. If my device is on, whether I am in my car, office, on vacation in Florida the email gets delivered to the device without user interaction.

Push email is not having to pull over to the side of the road, find an open Wifi connection, connect, and then wait for the email to be pushed.

Neither is it, connecting my Axim to my phone via dial up networking and then wait for the email to be pushed.

The only networks that have that kind of coverage and range is those offered by cell phone carriers. Using GSM, GPRS or even CDMA, email can be pushed to a device anyhwere on the network.

Maybe I should start a thread, "What does push email mean to you?".
