Updates: HTC Touch Cruise – Windows Mobile® 6.1 Upgrade

HTC recently release an upgrade for HTC Touch Cruise PDA Phone. This upgrade to WM6.1 also fixes some of the bugs in the Touch Cruise.

• Bluetooth Headset: It may happen that you cannot hear anything when using Bluetooth headsets (Jabra JX10, Jabra BT500 or Samsung WEP 150) even when it has already successfully reconnected with the Touch Cruise.
• Default Onscreen Keyboard: It may happen that the device will not remember the last onscreen keyboard used. Before, the onscreen keyboard always defaults to the Touch Keyboard.
• Title Bar: It may happen that the Title Bar disappears when you go back to the Home screen.
• Camera Viewfinder: It may happen that the viewfinder is cut when you open a Powerpoint file and then tap Options.
• GPS Mode: It may happen that the display becomes “abnormal” after taking a picture in GPS mode and then going into Suspend/Resume mode.
• FM Radio Speaker/Headset Mode: It may happen that the FM Radio program uses the incorrect output mode (Speaker or Headset) before the application launches.
• TouchFLO Setting: It may happen that the TouchFLO setting does not appear in the Settings > System tab.
• TomTom in Home Screen: It may happen that TomTom does not show in the Home screen.

User are advised to back up before the upgrade.

The upgrade can be downloaded directly from the HTC website here

Updates: Mail for Exchange Ver 2.3

Mail for Exchange, Nokia’s enterprise. push email solution based on Microsoft’s Exchange ActiveSync protocol, has yet again received an upgrade. The most recent version is Mail for Exchange 2.3.

It is quite impressive to see the frequency of Nokia updates Mail for Exchange. It seems as if a new version is available every other month or so. Considering the fact that the solution is free I am amazed by the constant updates. Sure, not all the updates are major but I rather have many, incremental updates and tweaks rather than wait a year for some big, bundled update.

Download the latest version here.

Anyway, the new version includes one fix/new feature:

When trying to synchronize with a server that has an expired certificate, the user is now given the choice of continuing the synchronization. Previously, the scenario resulted in an error and the synchronization was stopped. (From the Release Notes)

If you don’t have a Microsoft Exchange account but still want to try out the Mail for Exchange and a push email based solution I suggest you sign up for a free Exchange account with Mail2Web. They offer a great, free service.
