We have now some wm5.0 devices and exchange sp2 is out - still waiting for the MSFP.
What new features of SP2 we can use without MSFP. I just found out that only task synchronisation with exchange is working now.
Anybody found out what else?
Hi mobileprofi
WM5+E2k3 SP2 adds task, photo on contacts and better sync compression. The rest of the goodies we will have to wait for, my money is on jan-feb but I would be happy to get it before christmas :wink:

Dont hold your breath there, or u will end up a funny shade of blue of purple
The Windows Mobile / MSFP website says that devices and upgrades for MSFP will be available from OEM's etc early next calendar year.
I have also asked i-mate the question of when they plan to release the update. They have responded early 2006 so i guess bthey are waiting for Microsoft to complete it. i-mate has also stated that it will be available as a complete ROM update for WM 5.0.

I took a webinar on the new features in E2k3SP2 and asked specificaly of the presenter if this update would only be available from the OEM vendors.
His response (I am paraphrasing):
Microsoft does not want folks to not get a WM5 device because they are waiting for the new feature pack. Therfore they are going to offer it as a free download on the Microsoft website for folks who already have WM5 devices. In the first quarter of next year it will begin shipping on the ROM from the OEM providers.
The way he said it, it sounded like we may be able to get this before the end of the year (there is an existing beta program already underway).
Thank god for that. Have just found out that my provider did a quiet update to SP2, and am straining at the bit to get Push email! Bring it on...
I really hope microsft do post the update, the wording on the website did make me think otherwise though

I'm upgrading my works Exchange Server to SP2 next week so it would be great to get my hands on the feature pack before next year
Later,

Sorry but you will find that Microsoft IS (100% guaranteed) leaving it up to the OEMs to ship (or not) the MSFP around Feb/Mar 2006.
The MSFP will be released as a ROM update by each of the respective OEMs (i.e. HP, XDA, i-Mate etc).
I do agree, MS is leaving it up to the OEM to include in the ROM.
On the flip side, the MS dude I talked to who was on the team making the code said that MS will offer it as a download for existing WM5 device owners so that they can have the same functionality as the new (updated ROM) devices.

Not really sure what the MS dude means. But the ROM is flashable and the MSFP will be incorporated into a new ROM (called upgrade because its a never version than the prior :wink: ) So existing WM5 device owners will have to flash their device when the update is available. Devices bought after jan/feb/march will already have this version preloaded but the will ofcourse have the ability to upgrade the ROM when a never version is available. Definition ROM (Read Only Memory) confuses it a bit?
No one would be happier than me if MSFP would be available as a separate component but since security is in the picture and its tightly coupled with the OS I can understand if do it this way.
Perhaps some truly talented person succeeds with breaking out the bits and pieces from the rom so it can be used in non official WM5 devices. But by then most of the existing WM2003 (upgraded to leaked WM5 builds) probably got tired of waiting and bought an official WM5 device.
MrHappy, sorry if it sounds as a rant. It's not intended as a rant.
Cheers
I have followed the fix for the change in Daylight Savings on this web page:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/daylightsaving/default.mspx
However, step 4 includes this little note:
"NOTE: For some versions of Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC, there will be additional updates required that will be available the week of February 26. We apologize for the inconvenience."
Anyone heard anything more about this? The week of Feb 26 is drawing to a close...
heres a .cab for the fix....
I'm running WM5 on a Treo 700wx and I'm trying to make my own little app, using Mortscript, to display the date on the carrier logo field. I've gotten as far as using:
Code:
GetTime dat, "m d, Y"
which will display in the format of
Code:
04 04, 2007
I would like to display the day name and the month name also, so it would look like this...
Code:
Wednesday, April 04, 2007
I figured out how to write the info into the carrier logo field, except I can't figure out how to retrieve and display the day name and month name.
So can I get some help please?
Thank you.
I figured it out. In the current release of Mortscript, the month can only be retrieved in numerical format. The day of week is the same. So I created a routine that will do the following:
if Week = 0 then WeekDay=Sunday
The month is also retrieved by a similar method:
if Month = 1 then MonthName=January

Where are they? I thought they were supposed to be getting released yesterday (31/3/2009) but they arent there, only the On The Road panel...
new panels were the spb weather, and traveler (pay),
If you believed that SE would keep to a deadline this clearly must be your first SE phone (that said, betas of the panels can be found on these forums).
lol... i had P800, P900, M600 and P990... just never took notice of dates till the x1...
SPB panels were out a few days before 31st, and they werent new, i already had them, just new to the SE Panel Gallery.
I'd get em off the forum, but i dunno, ive had too many problems with software on my x1, still got faith in it, but treating it like a fragile object, as it breaks easily *meh*
Looks like the Skype Panel is available at the SE Panel site.
i don't know how download skype panel in se site couse links to external site poit to the main page of skype.. so... has anyone a solution?
skype download on mobile browser points to Skype site.
skype download on PC browser causes error:

Hi all,
I've read that when the certificate expires you will not be able to install again the application signed with that key.
Is there anyway to extend the expiration date for key? I don't remember how many years I've used when I've created that key but I haven't used 100 years for sure, so I'm thinking what will happen at that time. If we are not able to extend, what can we do with our apps after that date?
