spv m1000 upgrade options??

[voltesep]

hiya,

bit new to all this, so some advice from you guys is needed!

what are the best options for the m1000?
not sure if there are different versions of the phone so give you as much detail as i can find?

cpu intel pxa263
speed 400mhz
ram 128mb
model ph10a

the main app i need is excel, plus a prog to print via ir to my dj450 printer(have been using printpocketce)

hope i have not missed anything important??

thanks in advance

there are 2003SE roms wm5 roms wm6 early roms

personaly if your device works as it should now i prob would leave it alone as i cant say if printing would work with later roms

thanks for the reply!

cant say its been working well?...had a few random hangs from time to time and there has been times where you get a call no ringtone heard and no way to answer it? h/ware buttons didnt work,touch screen button flashes like its been pressed but still didnt answer

only way i found to sort it out was a soft reset

so the main reason for the upgrade was an improvement in phone function rather than a printing issue?

think the main question i meant to ask really was which is the most stable version for this type of phone,most of the bugs sorted out?

thanks again

Had a lot of hanging, on my M1000, but after upgrading to the WM2003SE WWE, the speed of the machine has improved a lot, and it does no longer hang, allmost no matter what I do.

I found that some of the build in Orange apps were the reason for "hangtime" and slowdowns, because if I tryed to install them, from the original Ext-ROM, all the problems came back.

So my experience is, that "Genuine English WM2003 SE " http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=230279 is a major improvement, to the Orange standard WM2003 :)

I upgraded my SPV M1000 from Orange ROM to WM5 and now to Tofclock WM6 ROM, and it works fine. All features are ok for me, it's great!!!
