O2 releases AKU2 update for Xda Atom

The folks
over at O2 have been busy little beavers today, first releasing the HTC
Tornado-based Xda IQ, and now posting the Windows Mobile 5.0 AKU update for Xda Atom owners to download. We're sure that we don't need to repeat the
advantages of AKU2 again, but since our contracts stipulate that we rehash the deets ad infinitum, we'll remind you
that this upgrade adds BlackBerry-like push email through the Messaging & Security Feature Pack (MSFP) along with
an improved wireless connection manager, quicker screen orientation switches, and other minor enhancements. Atom owners
also get a few device-specific bug fixes with the new firmware, most notably the elimination of the "heartbeat
noise" that had apparently plagued some versions of the FM tuner app. For now you'll need your handset's serial
number registered with O2 in order to access the download, but it'll probably be just a matter of time before it
becomes available on one of the popular cellphone forums.[Via Pocket PC Thoughts]

The latest 26 Apr 2006 ROM upgrade incl. MSFP is great ... works like a charm. Device more stable and the standard Exchange push e-mail feature is obviously a great ...
