T-Mobile MDA Saga... Part 2 of #*$%!

Well, I'm officially annoyed. I can't get ActiveSync 4.2 to work. And, now I've discovered that there is a ROM upgrade.

With hindsight,

1. Set a system restore point in Windows XP.
2. Use the ActiveSync that comes with your phone... 4.1 in my case. There are way too many news postings about not upgrading because of issues with the latest and greatest..
3. Install the latest ROM for the phone. This wipes out the phone, so you don't want to do this later.
