Pleasant interface.
ActiveSync 4 works through USB.
I cannot accede to Storage and ExtendedROM.
All buttons correctly work including camera and record.
Backpack dont works (Some change in the registry to fix that?)
ExtendedROMunlocker dont work.
Resco file explorer works.
Cabinstl works.
I can install programs from PC to PPC through USB (ActiveSync), in PPC (not in PC) screen ask about install in "Device" or "Storage Card".
Internet Explorer works trough USB (ActiveSync)
I cannot make hard reset but I can put it in bootloader mode.
I only have been one hour proving it.
At the moment he is everything.

Tell us something about the speed of the system and the space it takes...

I have few installed programs but I think that the speed is very similar.
I do not understand very well as Magneto uses the memory, you have 14,57MB of ROM (storage) to install programs but you cannot install them in the RAM.
You can see 24,35MB of RAM but I believe that Magneto uses all the RAM, only who deal with form different those 24.35 from the 100 rest that we cannot see.
Resco file explorer cannot accede to Windows or temp but microsoft file explorer if it can.
Parrot CK3000 works fine.
About backpack: battery and TV/monitor output works but CF slot dont works.

Is it still using the MS bluetooth stack ? Any improvement on bluetooth function ?

Yes, it is MS BT, but now it appears a new menu, "COM Ports"

IMPORTANT: I have upgrade to Magneto using himaupgradeut_197.exe and the original nk.nbf file (without patching)
It has worked to the first time and I have not had any error of identification.
Also I have left the Storage empty before beginning the update.

what does the "patch" do anyway?

It changes the filename of file "DevAuth.exe" in a way that it can't be executed anymore before start.
This application checks the hardware in some way to determine if the device is allowed to use the software. Maybe some of you have a device that matches this "authentication".

Hi

"Parrot CK3000 works fine."

Does it mean that you can originate a call from BT device? Voice dial or smth. like this?
Or it just receiving calls and you can hear and microphone is working?

Making of voce calling over BT is one reason for me to upgrade...

I have used the file nk.nbf from Xda-developers ftp.
I have returned to wm2003SE with himaupgradeut_197.exe and nk.nbf file of version 2.06.
ParrotCK3000 works just as with 2,06 version and the change of the registry.
Magneto is very interesting but it specially has a great failure, when you install many programs the system becomes slower, particularly with programs like betaplayer.
If the problem of the RAM use and the access to CF slot were solved, it would be a great system.
2.06 works with AS 4.

More news:
Magneto can be reinstall again using himaupgradeut_197.exe in bootloader mode.
If we installed the programs in the SD and left frees the memory of the PDA, the system goes much more fast.
Some programs cannot be installed in the SD and they settle in the PDA. Some programs that work in wm2003 and wm2003se not admit magneto, aborts the installation.
SPB pocket plus does not settle because it says that it is being tried to install on ppc2000 and aborts the process.
