• Bluetooth Driver Version 1.4.1.58: Corrects problem where system would hang when disconnecting a PAN connection via the Incoming Connection icon, corrects a problem where the device needed a Normal Reset after being turned off while transferring data via SPP, for example, while connected to a Bluetooth GPS device, corrects the proxy settings getting erased in the Bluetooth Settings and corrects a problem when using 'Dial via Bluetooth' which would not accept spaces in the phone number.
• Corrects an issue where the iPAQ unit does not waking up to perform a scheduled iPAQ Backup.
