All,
Just a quick note ... thought you'd be interested.
I contacted Dopod here in Australia, trying to find out when the official Australian D810 (with GPS) ROM would be available. I have also been requesting any details of whether or not Dopod would release WM6 for the D810.
The response on my query for the GPS ROM resulted in the following:
It looks like it is 4 weeks away.
We will also bring WM6 with GPS in another 2-3 months time for the D810.

How's that for good news!!
yeah!!
what a great news!!! althought I don't have a D810...
Great news....
Any one else can ask Dopod for confirmation about the wm6???
I'm not Dopod costumer...
Thank's...
You got this information directly from Dopod? Hmmmm, for some reason I just don't believe you.
Super, thanks for the good news
It looks like it is 4 weeks away"
We will also bring WM6 with GPS in another 2-3 months time for the D810"
thats was official reply or chat ! ! !
WHOA!!!! GREAT NEWS if confirmed!!!!
cool great news we will be waiting
Sounds like a duck to me, not very plausible.
But then again if true, then very very cool!
awesome news if true
Importer for Spain and Portugal convinced HTC will officialy release WM6 for Trinity in few months. No data on timespan known at the moment. Same source says immediate release of WM5 GPS enabled ROM (next week).
This was already said. Hope true.
this is good news
What did I say in the donation thread? If we pay a bunch of money (and I did, don't get me wrong), an official release will happen.
You know if we hadn't, they wouldn't have bothered... :$
Hope its true!
But in Portugal the importer its NovaBase, and when the dopod gps version cames out, i've contacted NovaBase to know if HTC was going to release a gps rom, and the tell that it would be released during the February month!....
So, las week i've mailed them again and said that February has passed, and no rom released.... than I ask if they have a prevision to release that and ask too if they will release this quipment with wm6..... they answerd that gps will be released but no time prevision and tell that dont have plans to release wm6!
It is not worry, if dopod releases it! I am using the gps rom for dopod d810 in my p3600 and it is great!

Exmo. Sr. Não temos uma data certa para existir a actualização de ROM. Deverá consultar o site da HTC Europa (www.europe.htc.com). Não existem planos para haver um upgrade de sistema operativo Windows Mobile 6. Cumprimentos, Equipa do Mobility Support

(7- march-2007)
Hope dopod releases it! (as soooooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnn as possible!)
Suspicious bunch arent you?
To put further context around the information I received:
The reply was from Dopod Support
I have been communicating with Dopod Support on a range of queries. In Australia, they were going to release an RSS Reader (which they haven't yet, but I was lucky enough to get a Test Version - it is just rebranding an existing RSS Reader available), and while I was asking I queried about:
GPS Australian ROM
Official RSS Reader Release
Availaibility of the Blackberry Client in Australia (which they have made available in other markets)
Whether or not WM6 would be made available, even for a small fee
I have now got confirmation from Dopod that the official Australian GPS ROM will be available in around 4 weeks
No confirmation as to the final release of the RSS Reader
No confirmation when the Blackberry Client will be available in the Australian market
Confirmation that Dopod will release WM6 for the D810 (Trinity) in 2 to 3 months
From my discussions with Dopod, it appeared that with there discussions with M$, M$ was apparently going to offer an upgrade installer for WM5 devices. My guess is that they have not provided it as Dopod wanted to provide WM6 via this channel, but as it is no longer happening I see this as the catalyst for providing it.
Take from this what you will, but I am very excited about this news from Dopod.
Nice!!!!
So..... lets wait!
It was nice too if HTC makes da same, But if doesn't make, we have de dopod rom!
Tks!
basically
dopod = HTC, cuz HTC bought dopod already.

Man thank you for this news, it seems that P3600 will be in my posession more than I previously thought an year for sure but as you may see there was MANY speculations about release versions of GPS and WM6 ROM's and none of them happens to be true, at least not for HTC branded devices and it is 6 (six!) months since original HTC ROM present in my P3600
BTW, I see you have some F1 action in couple of hours in your town, man I would give my Trinity to be there now
That's wonderful news assuming it's true.
However, I guess I'm going to be switching to the upcoming E-Ten X800 since it comes with WM6, VGA and (presumably a better than Qualcomm) GPS unit at launch.

Hey that x800 phone looks pretty cool.
I think you've convinced me to switch to that phone when it's released...

Official email from dopod
Hi Chris,
Yes, I was informed that we will be releasing WM6 for the 838pro in about 4 weeks time. This however is test ROM code – we will need to get it tested by Mobile Operators. Testing could take upto another 4 weeks time. Dopod expects to release WM6 for 838pro in about 2 months time from now. The WM6 will have all the fixes built into the new AKU.
Thanks.

Well HTC here in Italy didn't yet realesed a rom update for the TyTN (WM5!!)....aaahhhhaaah
This is good news. Im happy playing around with my Imate, but my employer gives senior managers company dopods... with any luck, a WM6 upgrade will force our IT folk to deploy Activesync 4.5 across the work computers, meaning i can go to WM6 (currently stuck on aku3.3 wm5 because cant sync WM6 on work pc's with activesync 4.1)

They're not keen on deploying it to 500 odd machines for one user at the moment (especially me, i am but a mere pleb here)... especially considering i think AS4.5 is still labelled as beta. But if a few senior execs start making similar requests, guarantee it'll be deployed immediately.

thanx walshieau, good news !
We had a chance to peep an "eyes-only" presentation from AT&T with the dirty details on WM6 for current and future devices, with the newly-branded Cingular apparently poised to introduce patches for three of its hottest handsets. The word is that the Treo 750, 8525, and the Blackjack will see downloadable updates released for current owners, and that WM6 will be pre-installed on all devices launched in 2007. In a separate tip, our peeps tell us that the Blackjack update should be in Cingular's hot hands by May 26; with an expected eight week soak period for testing, this could hit by late July this year. We suppose that if the ROMs prove bulletproof, the cheering masses could theoretically get this update sooner, but until then we can only sit and wait. No word on timing for the other two devices, but we are seriously hoping that Blue has its ducks in a row and that they are on an similar schedule.
via Engadget people. http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/03/26/cingulars-treo-750-blackjack-and-8525-get-wm6-treatment/
I don't really care cuz the best roms are from here but still. Apparently all our complaining has not fallen on deaf ears!

Yes, it seems that a couple of people have posted this news today. I guess it is good for the Cingular/AT&T people who do not want to upgrade to the current WM6 rom's here.
And maybe, someone here could use it as base rom once it is released.
At least they are going to upgrade some current devices.

Oops I'm sorry I'll ask the mods to lock.
No need to lock, you provided a different view...
I already have WM6 on my 8525 - Cingular needs to release it for my 3525 No but really this is great - this will at least if nothing else ensure we get an official RTM version that we can tinker with
we all knew it was coming -- but until we actually heard from somebody at Samsung or Cing, I couldn't post about it.. but after getting the roadmap yesterday and speaking to a samsung rep -- I just had to post it up
Good news, since the (fairly quiet) news about the updated base for WM6 cooked roms on here will be getting much much better, theyve been great since the first releases but this will help the chefs a hell of alot more.

Don't you know that we've been beta testing the new WM6 ROMs?
Those ROMs were intended to *leaked* for us to test and report errors so they can fix those errors before releasing to the rest of the consumers.
Well, mine runs great so hurry up and release it Cingular. Yes I'm talking to you.

ah its always good to be the bastard step children
does anyone happen to have the cingular wm6 rom that they cant share with me ??? if so discreetly pm me... i am looking for something in particular with this rom....
I had all but given up
I had put my Cingular 8125 in the corner of my office, and decided not to use it at all. I started using a Treo 750, and it was great, so I just stuck with it. Then I upgraded my 8125 to WM6 (LVSW Edition), and now it is finally usable. The 8125 would CONSTANTLY lock up on me with the "official" WM5 ROM, but with WM6 it is rock solid. I now wish someone would leak a Treo 750 WM6 ROM.
I had loads of fun with all the great WM6 version we tried this months. But after nearly a year with my TYTN, would be nice and fair to finally see a downloadable update from HTC site. A Vista updater without hacks. Not mentioning an official update in Italian.
Maybe we will quickly return to our Black or LVSM or whatever version....
Anyways, does anyone knows anything? June means 29th, just like the iPhone. Or it will be out when he will be out?
Share your knowledge.
IMHO the official update will be pants!
The only reason I cant wait for the official update is so that our Chef's can pull it apart and make something really special for us.
The current batch of WM6 roms are very close to perfect, all that is needed to make it 100% for me at the moment is a working voice dial BT solution.
My Tytn is fast and stable right now.

How right you are -- I've never met a tech company that missed an opportunity to miss a date...
well the ROM is finished and signed off... so i couldnt see why there is a delay... as most of the Operators now have the release ROM from HTC
The HTC announcement was the release of the HTC Touch
www.htctouch.com
From dopod HK, their official website says July.
Don't forget it's June for another 3 and a half weeks.
Don't you guys think HTC's CS is a bit crap. I fail to understand why did they have to start branding their own devices, when their support strategy so far seems to be pushing the customers to switch over to carrier branded devices. Cingular posted ROM upgrade quite a while ago and to get HTC's upgrade you have to send in your device to a repair center. Why wouldn't they post it online like everyone else. I think with the way things are going they won't post wm6 online as well.
This from South Africa's official supplier:
WM6.0 should be available end of July. You will be able to update your TYTN. At moment we have not yet confirmed if it will be a free upgrade or not.

WM6 upgrade will be free!
From the official dutch agency who has the all the rights to distribute HTC in the Netherlands:
"2e helft van 2007; gratis upgrades naar het nieuwe Windows Mobile 6.0 t.b.v.:
- HTC Advantage X7500
- HTC TyTN
- HTC S620
- HTC P4350
- HTC P3300
De exacte data wanneer deze upgrades beschikbaar komen is helaas nog niet bekend. Zodra beschikbaar zijn de upgrades te downloaden via HTC Downloads."
Which means: free WM6 upgrades for the models above.

I've also noticed that HTC has changed a bit the e-club update section. They are definitely preparing for the update launch (after nearly a year with no official update for HTC branded phones from their official site), such suicidal tendency was too bad to be true even for a tech company.
I never met a person who did not lie (since businesses are 'legally' people in the States). July, eh? I am betting on August or September, especially for AT&T Customers since AT&T will now be focuses on the 3Gless, GPSless, DVD Quality videoless, 5MP less iPhone. I am comparing the Apple iPhone to both the Softbank X01HT (no GPS here) and Nokia N95 which for what you are paying for the iPhone (iClone), you should get something. Maybe, in 3 or 4 generations, the iPhone (iClone) will be what the TyTN and it's variants were in 2006.

O2 Asia is about to offer free Windows Mobile 6 upgrade for the Xda Atom Life! This free update will be available to all current Atom Life users, and will involve either a download from the O2 Web site or a visit to one of its service centers. The upgrade will change the operating system on the Atom Life from Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC Phone Edition to Windows Mobile 6 (WM6) Professional.
Since its availability from May 12, the Atom Life will become one of the first commercially-available Windows Mobile products to sport the newer OS. Atom Life handhelds sold in stores from June onwards will also be preloaded with WM6. In comparison, Dopod, which will be acquired by HTC, will be upgrading its selected devices to WM6 in July.
O2 Atom Life will still feature its enhancements, the O2 SMS Plus and O2 MediaPlus. They have been tested on the new OS, and will still be available on the Atom Life after the upgrade. O2 added that they are currently testing WM6 on its upcoming Xda Flame (Specifications) and all of their phones which will be launched in 2007 will be opearting with WM6. The only thing left is to hear about an upgrade for the Xda Zinc and Xda Graphite soon.
Source : cnet
Im hopeful, but o2 is generally slow at this type of thing so I would not be to impatient. For my uses WM6 doesn't offer much more either. But its always nice to have the latest...
I found this while googling other sites about the flame.
"Wm5 disapointed but i made the sales person call his friend who works at the o2 shop in hong kong and he said that wm6 will be available in a month. They are still testing it and i will have an update as soon as it is released."
I don't know how realiable this is but who knows.

Overall, faster and stable. Better than wm6 838pro. I use spb full keyboard, just as good as a qwert kb. Batteris bad, cannot stand for one day for normal use, also the volumn of speaker is weak that cannot always hear phone rings. hope can improve in near future. I do not need wm6 as no material difference with wm5, I do not use office in pda....
I wouldnt give up just yet fellas, I mean think about how much HTC and Dopod denied they would do WM6 ROM or even a GPS ROM for the trinity, and sure enough eventually both of those were announced etc.
Im just thinking come next month when alot more WM6 Roms roll out, O2 might jump onboard as well, whats the point of having a pretty powerful device, but being too cheap to give consumers a WM6 Rom?

This is some idiot who is responding from O2.
Today wm6 for zinc has been announced, check out msmobiles / seeo2.com for details.
I think flame is the flagship model of the company and they will surely release wm6 for it.
Reply from O2 Asia Pacific
Dear Flame Users,
I'm using XDA flame and whoever posted that reply tried to discourage Flame users.
Because i got an offical reply from O2 that they are currently testing Flame upgrade and will release soon
i got following message from O2
kindly note that O2 has a policy of testing new software and applications thoroughly to ensure that potential faults and issues are mitigated so that the customer experience and enjoyment of the new device is not affected. As a result, we are conducting rigorous tests on Windows Mobile 6 with the unique O2 applications and other software intended for the Xda Flame. Customers can expect to an announcement on the availability of Windows Mobile 6 upgrades for the Xda Flame in the near future.
Hope this information is useful. Thank You.

I'm using XDA Zinc ... and prior to wm 6.0 launched, I asked O2 about the upcoming wm 6.0 but they answered exactly like the one posted above that they were not providing wm 6.0 for zinc ... but guess what now they have it ...
I guess it is standard answer for someone that asked about availability of wm 6.0 ... i believe wm 6.0 will be available for flame also ... just wait patiently ... after all it is the current flagship of o2 ...
From the information above, some may conlude that O2 would finally release the WM6 rom, just as I do. Actually I think, maybe there're still something imperfect of the WM6 drivers for the indepent graphic card in FLAME, so it is still being tested time and again.
Nowadays, I noticed in a Chinese online shopping website, that they have the unique FLAME to sold with WM6(simplified Chinese edition)!!!
http://auction1.taobao.com/auction/0/item_detail-0db2-7bbf4068423ebb333ff1cd39fb0804c1.jhtml
I wonder where they got it, is that a signal? Oh, the seller also claim that they have a forum which is the official one of O2(www.iio2.com).
NOT ADs! cauz I'm not quite believe that.

I looked around that website-iio2, and found that it is not an official verison, as it is replanted from D900. Amazing! But I guess there is not a proper driver for the independent graphic card in this version.
Anyone heard anything more about the WM6 upgrades for the S620 that HTC was supposed to put out in the May/June timeframe? There's not much time left in that "frame" - was hoping to hear something by now. I'd prefer to not have to mess with trying to put the TMo ROM on there.
nop there has been no news at all keep checking this page:
http://www.europe.htc.com/support/software/
It's pretty much July. I'm expecting an update to come out yesterday.
Any other source, other than the website where we could have any more information?
Download link for T-Mobile's WM6 is here:
http://t-mobile.com/wmupgrade/
Comes with some fandango, and more t-mobile... (well, you tell me, i don't know how the HTC wm6 compares)
you can use my number:
2 m 0 r 5 a 5 e 2 r 9 y 7 c 9 e 4 o 0 s
Is it locked to T-mobile?
HTC eClub
Anybody joined the HTC eClub?
I think they are gonna distribute the WM6 that way, since I can't register my Dash there I can't confirm. Can someone with a S620 sign up and see if the update is available now?
htc club
Hi i have joined the club, as i have a HTC s620. There have been no updates as of yet. I will be checking the site most days, so as soon as i hear anything i will post here
No updates other than some audio driver. This is really getting annoying.
Does anyone know if the VoIP feature will be included with this HTC release? (I'm talking about internet calling if nobody knows what I'm talking about.)
September!!!!!!
Below is an email I just got from HTC:
The Windows Mobile 6 update will roll out from June. The provisional date for the S620 is believed to be in September. We have no more accurate information than that and as it is a provisional schedule, it is possible that if any last minute problems are encountered in the final testing phase, it may be delayed.
Thank You for your enquiry. Should you have any other problem, please do not hesitate to call us. Your local number can be found at http://www.europe.htc.com/support/csbyphone.html

Too bad there is no real competition on the market. Otherwise I would switch now. This is pissing the customer in the face.
I really love my S620 it's great hardware but not sure if I can hold out with WM5 too much longer.
S620 upgrade WM6
I called their support line on Tuesday (July 3) and the gentleman on the phone told me to expect the WM6 update around late July. I don't think they know for sure.
If I knew how to clean a rom of all that T-Mobile garbage I'd upgrade to WM6 using the T-Mobile rom.
So, just to amuse myself (and possibly others), I called HTC's hotline again, asking when WM6 comes out for the S620. The gentleman on the phone read me the email that was sent out to the phone support folks about WM6, and it went a little something like this:
"WM6 is a big OS upgrade, and all new HTC devices are using WM6, so basically HTC is tailoring the WM6 upgrades for each of their devices that support the upgrade. The Sprint MDA upgrade for WM6 came out 2 days, however, HTC will be releasing the WM6 upgrade for the S620 at the end of July, but no later than the middle of August."
<sarcasm>
In summary, HTC is aware of our concerns and doesn't contradict themselves.
</sarcasm>
Tell them T-mobile already has released WM6 and since the device is actually made by HTC its absolutely ridiculous that T-mobile can tailor the device quicker than HTC can.
The Cavalier is out this month so I can see alot of people ebaying their S620 and going for the much more powerful S630, probably what HTC are hoping anyway and why they are delaying the update. Furthermore they probably didn't sell as many of the Vox as they would have liked because people realised that the Excalibur/Caviliar form factor is so much nicer.

Yes but the T-Mobile WM6 ROM is crap.
I have it on my Dash. It is full of bugs and memory leaks. I am waiting to HTC to release the S620 WM6 ROM, then I'm going to buy an S620 and ditch my Dash.
Give them time to get it right and not hastily release a buggy ROM.
This is very disappointing. I hope this is not the case with all the said upgrades.
htc is delaying it for 1 reason because they what people to get fed up and by a new phone with wm6 built in. EXAMPLE: htc x7500 which has wm5 and htc x7501 has wm6. now you can already buy the x7501 at CompUSA for $899 just check if you dont believe me. but wm6 upgrade for x7500 won't be out untill september, makes no sense to me
