I downloaded MR1 V2.0 last night. GPS works with Microsoft Live Search. It won’t work with Google Maps. Couldn’t find any other problems. I don’t know why they pulled it.

Jdoh, we reported on that latest development, and removed MR1 1.0 from our site. The download link now transfers to a file, pointing to the latest article:

Unfortunately, at this late hour, PCD has pulled MR1 v2.0 as well, leaving no update for the Touch Pro as both certified and online for download. We are continuing to try to get an answer from PCD, HTC, or Verizon as to the status of the update. We’ll keep everyone posted on the front page (and RSS, of course).

Yeah, on a freshly cold reset phone it rings a little quicker, but if you have about 100 contacts, it’s not until after the third ring. It’s a well documented problem with pretty much all the HTC Touch phones, just google for delayed ring over on pdaphonehome or xda-developers. You can adjust the slot index and it will start ringing a little sooner sometimes.

People, do youselves a favor and download the update directly from the manuf. site as the download just appeared on their site today. The link above goes to a slightly older version. I don’t know if there is a change in functionality, but v.1.08 download was available at least as far back as 5/15/09.

Then it appears that the download was removed from the manuf’s site until today.

Here’s the link on the manuf. site:

jj, you are the one who obviously can’t count.

It is just one ring.

I have the VZW phone, and there is just one LED flash, and then starting with the second ring, it plays the ringtone.
