I, personally, haven’t had the chance to get the SMTP patch that Microsoft released recently for Windows Mobile 6.1 devices, but after all the complaints I’m hearing about it I’m certainly hesitant.
According to Smartphone Thoughts (and Pocket PC Thoughts) writer Ed Hansberry, he experienced no issues with the patch aside from a sudden soft reset without any warning. But Mike Temporale at MobileJaw had this to say:
A number of news sites have been reporting about Microsoft releasing a patch that fixes an issue with sending email on your Windows Mobile 6.1 device. The patch is available from the Outlook Mobile team web site and claims to fix the problem. I’m sure it might do that, but there are a number of things that they fail to mention. So before you go and install this patch, read the issues below and weigh the decision to install or not.

Entering contact information onto a fresh device can be really daunting. I have so many contacts between my Outlook email contacts, my IM contacts (MSN, GTalk, Y!), and of course, my regular phone contacts. So many email addresses, phone numbers, birthdays, and home addresses to remember!
Windows Mobile devices tries to make organizing all of these contacts as simple as possible and makes it very easy to manage your contacts including your Outlook and Windows Live contacts in a personalized way to suits you best. Contacts are stored on the internal device memory or on a SIM card. The address book lets you enter many items of information for Outlook or Windows Live contacts stored on the device, including name, work phone number, e-mail address, company address, and birthday. For contacts kept on the SIM card, you can save only the contact’s name and phone number. If you move the SIM card to another device, the SIM contact is moved too, saving you from having to enter in all those names and numbers every time you switch to a new device.

In these times of economic uncertainty, everyone wants to keep their spending to a minimum. There are many features in Windows Mobile that can help you save money while maintaining the productivity advantages of a smartphone. Most carriers trying to sell you a phone won’t tell you about these things, and most other “smartphones” aren’t even capable of some of these features.
