we just received information that the O2 Xda Zinc has a "spurious private
messages" firmware bug similar to the one affecting the Motorola Q:
http://www.modaco.com/Motorola-Q-Spurious-private-messages-firmware-bug-confirmed-by-Motorola-t242539.html
once again it shows that MSFT does not have anything to test this issue in
their platform test suite, and that major Windows Mobile device
manufacturers are still un-aware of this issue.
this firmware bug may affect applications that use private messages (in the
range [0x8000 to 0xBFFF]) for inter-thread communications.
other Windows Mobile devices that are known to have this firmware bug
include:
- Motorola Q
- Samsung i-600
- Asus P525
- E-Ten M500
- E-Ten E700
