More on the X51v Problem

Seems like this is definitely a problem introduced with the latest firmware upgrade on the X51v. Further investigation and experimentation revealed that:

- Upgrading Activesync to 4.2.0 did not cure the problem

- Using a different compact flash card (a 128mb one) did not result in corrupted files

- Using the same compact flash card in a different X51v (ROM version A06) did NOT result in corrupted files.

- Using the third party utility "Cardexport" (which basically turns your PDA into a USB Flash card reader) instead of Activesync to copy the files across did not result in corrupted files.

So if you use large capacity flash cards in your PDA and you have not upgraded already I would strongly advise you to hold off at least for the time being!
