Any idea when T-Mobile will officially release the WM6 upgrade? - HTC Excalibur

Any idea when T-Mobile will officially release the WM6 upgrade? I know they said Spring, and today is the first day of Spring. Anyone hear a date yet?

i %think% by the end of this month.

If you call support at 6-1-1 and ask for PDA support, you can provide your email and request a sms notification upon launch. Chances are though, if you hang out here, you'll get it just as soon, if not sooner, buy watching the postings

Thanks for the info guys, I am so tempted to take the jump with the betas on here. I'm just scared of bricking my Dash. Would you recommend diving into the beta build, or wait? Is it hard to install? I am comfortable with hacking the registry etc., just want to ask the experts here. Thanks in advance.

I couldn't hold out, the install went very well.

New UK O2 1.72 roms - Future?

OK, so the wait is over and we finally have, to our dissapointment the Official O2 1.72 roms. Yay! (not) So we've had to wait longer than all the other operators we got their in the end. I have to admit i'm tempted byu the xdaIIs, as i cant see much further support for the poor old XDA II. When there was still hope of a WM2003SE update I could see a reason to stay with the device as its by far the best PPC ive ever owned, but now i'm looking at other options(espicially now i got my p900 - now theres a phone!). I'm a bit pissed that when SE was launched several people had beta releases of 2003SE on their devices, however none seemed to want to discuss the release. Now with no chance of an update being released how about some feedback from the people who actually USED the upgrade? (And if some kind soul posts the file we'd all be eternally gratefull! Anyone who wants it that bad wont care about it being 'unsupported')
bump!

AT&T claims no kaiser in august and wm6 not ready for 8525 until end Q3.

Allways remember never believe anything about att, you will be waiting years for a rumor. You can buy a 8525 with wm6 at att store but the upgrade is not ready. that why I wouldn't get my hopes up about the kaiser.

You can't buy the 8525 with WM6 (at least not right now).

we have the AT&T WM6 ROM's for the Kaiser... and we know all about it...
MOD - PLEASE DELETE THIS THREAD!! THis has nothing to do with WM6! @ the person who started this thread - stop posting information that number one - isnt true and number two - has nothing to do with the forum you're posting in.

Did you click the little "report post" button instead of bumping the thread?
Nope.
I'm closing the thread. The OP can PM me if he feels he has some real facts to post regarding the topic.

are these wm6 releases really "official" ?

i was wondering why htc or microsoft hasnt released anything on their website?
also, this is what i need if i have a cingular 8525 right?
sorry for the dumb questions...i work at at&t so im sure i can pay you guys back for the help once i get settle in here
On the HTC website in HK they have released http://www.asia.htc.com/asia/event/WM6/index.html I think Microsoft has it tucked away on there website somewhere and I am pretty sure that the ROM that you put the link up for would work. Welcome to the forum, remember if there’s anything I can ever do to help just drop me a line. If you want you can add me to MSN Messenger.
The one you've linked to is a final release build from AT&T. It was specifically made for your 8525, so no worries.
thanks a million!!

is there an offical 8525 wm6 upgrade available

sorry totaly confused with all the links in the forum. Is there an offical rom upgrade to wm6 for the 8525. going to htc americas website there is a rom available update but is it actualy wm6 they dont say. Thanks in advance
JM
I don't think that AT&T has released this officially as an upgrade yet. I don't think it's on the HTC site as an AT&T/Cingular upgrade.
But, there are reports of new 8525s being bought with WM6 already installed from AT&T. This is probably how the upgrade made its way here - someone dumped it out of a phone that was shipped with it already installed.
From your profile, you have been here just about 2 years.
And based on your profile, I will answer you as follows.
NEVER hear of 8525 BEFORE! WHAT IS THAT?
He's just too LAZY to search and wants us to do it for him. After being here for 2 years and 90 posts, you really should know better.

TouchXperience project progress
Written by Julien Schapman
Saturday, 27 September 2008 07:32
To make you patient until the public release, I decided to give you regular news about TouchXperience project progress and to give you more details about some TouchXperience features. Don't hesitate to make suggestions in the dedicated forum.
The first public release will be (finally!) available in October (2008!), TouchXperience will be available for HTC TyTN, TyTN II, Touch Pro, Touch Diamond, and later Touch HD. Other devices may be supported in the future and non-HTC touch devices (such as Samsung Omnia/i900) are not excluded, but be aware that I need to invest in new devices to work on it, and developping for non-HTC devices may take longer because I use to develop on HTC hardware only.
Site has exceeded bandwidth... he didn't sneak a release out last night did he?
Lol it's might just be the case. Site has never been down since he took it online. I've been checking the release status frequently.

Following some site's the rom is now downloadable. But the site won't work because of the traffic. Also it's possible that some other company has bought the product from him... You never know.
So maybe it won't be downloadable at all. But ofcourse he won't sell it, will he?
Can't wait untill there is some download link available.
Ok taking this back, just read that he won't sell it. Since he said it himself. Hope there will soon be a new mirror. I really respect this

That is his other site. Not the site where he hosts his forum and downloads...
So don't know if it's really released.

(this Dutch page states that it's downloadable already. But don't know if it's a proper en good review. It doesn't go that deep...

That last link is for a new item posted on 1st August
I'm sure if it was released he would have popped in to say so. Looks like something caused a traffic surge though, maybe he got slashdotted lol.
Hmm....
Yeah, that is pretty interesting... I guess we'll have to follow up over the weekend to see what the truth is!
Try clicking on the link in the Dutch forum, it sends you to the "Site has exceeded bandwidth" screen. Schaps may have released it but has been too busy to post it here. Could also just be a demo or test app...
Will keep trying and update later..
Unfortunately the recent release of the Android 1.0 source code (http://source.android.com/download) and the HTC ROMS that will surely follow may make this project moot.
Kaiser ROM Development
Hermes Android ROM Discussion
Especially considering that Windows Mobile 7 may not be out until 2010.
But so goes the software industry...
Not really as the developement of Android for the Hermes isn't exactly powering along and the general consensus is that it may not be possible to port Android to the Hermes. Something to do with the fact Hermes is a ARM4 processor and Android was made to work on ARM5.
Cheers...

just read the comments on the forum
marco899 wrote that he has donated 10€ and become a tester
bing wrote first that there is no download, 3 weeks later truffel50 asked and bing wrote that schap's computer crashed...
i can't find anything that speaks for a download and the first comment from bing says there is no download so we have to wait until we don't need it anymore becuase we can controll our new high tech devices with our mind or so...
That may be true

But the Hermes doesn't have much real life left, in fact the Kaiser is getting a bit old, too. At least as far as mobile devices go.
The Kaiser is not even a year old. Hell AT&T does not even have a replacement yet for the tilt.

Actually ATT is bringing the Touch Pro but it will be called "The Fuze" and it will be here in November I believe.

Yeah they have the Fuze coming out soon, but as I said not Yet. They seem to bring out a new one once a year.
