SP5 and SP5m MSFP ROM Update Available From i-mate

It's here! If you have a i-mate SP5 or SP5m Smartphone, you can login to Club i-mate and download the latest ROM that includes MSFP. :D You can also download the ROM updates from the FTP server - but be careful. There are 2 versions of this update for the SP5(m) devices. If you go through the web pages it offers up 2.6.331.2, but over FTP you will also see a version number 2.5.331.2. I'm not sure what the difference is, but I think it's safe to go with the file being offered up from the web site. I have also found that the download speed is faster from the website - most likely due to caching on the web server.Just in case MSFP isn't enough of a reason for you to upgrade your device, I have included a full list of all the updates below. ;)
Microsoft� Messaging and Security Feature Pack (MSFP):
Addition of the MSFP allowing Direct Push email, remote device wiping, security policy enforcement and Global Address List Lookup for customers using a Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 with Service Pack 2.
File beaming over Bluetooth:
It is now possible to beam files over Bluetooth using the file manager.

� Line2 functionality introduced.
� Busy Tone corrected.
� Improved the echo suppression.
� USSD service support is upgraded.

� MMS will now operate until there is only 1 Mb of free storage space. Previously this limit was set at 4Mb.

Improved Pocket Internet Explorer:

Keypad Light Timing:
The timeout of the keypad light can now be set. There is a utility in the 'Utilities' section of the SP5m support pages that will let you set it. Note that setting the keypad light over 8 seconds will cause significant reduction in battery life.

Communication Manager has been updated to allow current data services to be stopped, Direct Push email to be started/stopped using a single button press, and flight mode to be switched on/off.
