MIO168 2003SE?

I've just been reading a tutorial which claims to be able to upgrade the 168 to 2003SE. I didn't think Mitac had ever released a 2003SE ROM image for this PDA?

Anyone ever done this upgrade?

TIA

Some of the grey imports have 2003SE installed from new.

Thanks for the confirmation. Anyone recommend a site to 'talk' you through doing it and what software is needed?

I dont think you will find any site will talk you thru it, and most of the original sites will now have moved, But briefly you will need:
a) Format Utility
b) OS Loader
c) New Firmware Windows 2003 SE
I have emailed the tutorial I used and i should still have the original firmware etc if its any help. email me, believe me its well worth upgrading.

Since loading this 2003 SE rom my GPS seems to get a quicker fix.

What are the difference between 2003 and the SE version?

Rotate screen in the O.S. for one.

One thing I will say when you back restore back-up from 2003 to SE is that your embedded media player corrupts. Propably due to version change. I had to re-install from saved SD .cabs luckily.

Managed to find out a few more differences.

* GPS fix is much quicker than with the standard.
