After a bit of a false-start with AKU2 a couple weeks ago, Motorola is busting it out for reals this time, and we're thinking most Q owners should be plenty pleased. Naturally, MSFP, with its Exchange-based push email, global address book lookup and added security features should be a big hit with the suits, but we've got our eyes set on the new Dial-Up Networking (DUN) capabilities that'll allow us to get our tether on via USB or Bluetooth. There are other little enhancements, but we're sure you'd rather find 'em out for yourself by peeping the read link and downloading the update.[Via Mobility Site]
Dial-Up Networking, will this allow file swapping via bluetooth? Or still crippled?
ANyone?
The Bluetooth file transfer was never disabled in the first place...
question: has the q officially been declared a bust? i thought i remembered reading that the initial reviews were not all that positive and that it has been plagued with a higher-than-normal amount of returns.
To scott: No, it hasn't been declared a bust. Not only is it Verizon's best selling smartphone, it has received a number of positive reviews.
too bad software can't quadruple the battery life, which is, in a word, poor. Or, in two words, really poor.
It won't work with Windows Server 2003, which is pretty lame. I'm sure it would run fine, but they didn't bother to allow it.
It won't work with Windows Server 2003? What does that mean? It works just fine with Exchange Server 2003 SP2 and push email (MSFP). That's part of what the update is for...
THIS IS THE WORST EVER UPDATE! THE DIAL UP IS COMPLETELY DISABLED WITH THIS UPDATE!
DUN solution with new update:

So does this update have A2DP for stereo bluetooth support? The AKU2 update for the XV6700 was missing that.
