Recently I’ve read about Orange offering the AKU2 update for their SPV C600 phone, which is similar to my SDA. So, I decided to email T-Mobile’s support team and ask if such an update is going to be available to the US customers. Here’s the response I got back:

Thank you for taking the time to get in touch with T-Mobile. My name is Adam and I will be happy to assist you today with your account concerns. I understand you contacted T-Mobile requesting information on the Messaging & Security Feature Pack for Windows Mobile 5.0. I look forward to providing you with World Class customer service today.

At this time these updates are created directly by Microsoft. They are currently working on bringing new features and updates to your Windows Mobile 5.0 device. The latest version due soon is the version required to get your email ‘pushed’ direct from the latest version of Exchange 2003. The AKU2.0 updates are currently being released in Germany and the new version will be available on all devices in the U.S sometime after April.

When these updates are available you should be contacted by T-Mobile. Please keep in mind you would also have the option of downloading these updates when they become available directly from Microsoft. For your convenience I have listed the link below to check for the latest updates.

The updates now available are listed by device in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. I trust this information is of assistance to you. I thank you for your time and I hope you are having a great week.

The emphasis is mine - this is pretty exciting news. Saying “sometime after April” leaves the ETA for the update wide open, but I’m hoping this means Direct Push will be available very soon to T-Mobile USA customers.
