According to this news-artical;
The first phone powered by Windows Mobile 6 is on sale!
April 14, 2007 [MS Smartphone]
As expected in April (this month!) the first Windows Mobile 6 powered phones are going on sale. But which of them would manage the honorable first place? Some model from i-mate? Or maybe some E-TEN? Read on!
The first ever Windows Mobile 6 phone available commercially (on sale) is HTC S710 ! While a couple years ago it were in most cases mobile operators like Orange and T-Mobile that were always offering as first ones new models of Windows Mobile phones, nowadays these are online shops - as case of Samsung i600 (European version of Samsung BlackJack with Wi-Fi and video calling) proves...
To buy HTC S710 (it's in stock!) powered by Windows Mobile 6, click here (in French).
More information about this phone below.
The HTC S710 is the most compact messaging phone with an auto-sliding QWERTY keyboard. It is the first smartphone powered by the new Windows Mobile 6 Standard platform. This new platform provides genuine mobile Office Outlook experience, greater control of Outlook Mobile Calendar, better Internet Explorer Mobile browsing experience and Windows Live. It also offers greater interoperability with Exchange Server 2007 providing you with improved e-mail management (such as Fetch Mail and Set Flags), Out-of-Office assistant, and HTML e-mail viewing capabilities.
With the S710, manage your contacts and calls more efficiently with improved integration between Contacts and Call History. View Microsoft Office documents and PDF files on the go using the document viewers on the phone. Use Windows Live to chat with friends, search information, and send e-mail. With the S710, you stay connected and productive while on the move.

Hello,
I was wounder where I can get the latest upgrade for my XDAII I already have Windows Mobile 2003 2.06.00WWE on O2 in the UK
It doesnt have windows media player 10 tho.
Anyone now?
Thanks,
Steven Ross
If not mistake, wm10 only appear in wm2003se ver 2.207
I used Windows Mobile 2003 SE and it's a great release but it does not include Windows Media 10, the only device to date that has WM10 is the JAM. So far no one has been able to implement WM10 on an XDAII (or any other device as far as I know).
But as me, You can try Windows Mobile 2005 but you have to remember that it's a BETA release, so you will encounter some problems but at least you'll get to enjoy several improvements also.
I'm happy with WM2005 because:
1. Bluetooth is much MUCH better. I use it for Activesync and bluetooth headset and always works even at the same time even while on a call!!!
2. Better GUI including Phone Dialer
3. Much more stable, even though it runs on very limited resources, it feels peppy and responsive
4. I feel safer knowing that if I ran out of battery my data and installed applications will be safe thanks to it's new persistant architecture
5. Picture and Ringtone assignment under Contacts (no more clumsy IA Caller ID).
6. Better MS Office Integration (i.e. Excel now can produce Charts)
7. Windows Media 10
Problems with current Magneto release that I can live with in the meantime:
1. Video Capture has a limit of 240x180 pixels and seems choppy.
2. No MMS
3. No Activesync through USB
4. Very Limited Program and Storage memory
5. Certain Apps and games that I like are not compatible with WM2005 yet.
Best regards,
Rayan
I just saw this article today. I guess it'll be time to start cooking some 6.1 ROM's soon
Most Microsoft-powered smartphones being released today are powered by some form of Windows Mobile 6, but it seems like the popular mobile operating system is due for another update. It's not exactly Windows Mobile 7, but the upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.1 will bring about a whole new user interface similar to the one found on the Vodafone Treo 500v.
The innovation is being called a "carousel." Instead of launching a series of applications, you are asked "what do I want to do today?" Along the top of the display are a number of "zones" which you navigate between by going left or right. Within each of these zones are various "actions" and these are accessed by moving up and down.
Other updates to be included in Windows Mobile 6.1 are improved WiFi connectivity, Exchange integration, and better implementation of Bluetooth technology. The announcement of the "new" OS is rumored for February with an actual launch on actual handsets tentatively scheduled for May.

Good news.. but its a bit old news
Is it? I thought I finally had a scoop for you guys. Sorry if it's old news, but it sounds like an interesting change coming...
drgopoos the mobile jammer on this site http://www.onlygizmos.com/ would be nice to have
the bad part is that it looks like it may not be designed for phones with a touch screen (smartphone only not pocket pc) so the upgrade may not work on the hermes.

hahhah me too
Meh, I dunno. To me NEW doesn't seem better in this case. Not a fan of the What Do You Want To Do Today sound of things.
This is for Windows Mobile Standard (smartphone), not professional (pocket pc phone) hence why it doesnt seem like it's gonna work well with touch screen.

I am happy to use it on WM professional all the same. I use softkeys and D-Pad a lot to navigate the screen anyway. So bring it on!!!
I thought that WM 6.1 is out already, after reading all the articles and seeing the video demonstrating the OS. do u guys have any good guess when it might come out, i would love to see the Dash with that kicking ass home screen and improved ROM.
I have been curious to know also. Everything I have read states that Microsoft will officially announce it in February, and new devices will start shipping with it in May. Given that, I would expect updates for older devices by year's end. I hope that the Dash gets the update.
Windows Mobile 6.1
Looks similar to what HTC and T-Mobile did with the T-Mobile shadow device. Changed the way the user navigates through the menus to make it "easier" anded a new homescreen and that was about it. I cant wait for win mobile 7 next year or so hopefully.
So the WM 6.1 will be announced in Feb 11:
The first vital news item is exact time and place of Microsoft's press conference, where, most likely, the Windows Mobile 6.1 will be announced:
Mobile World Congress 2008: February 11, 2008
15:00-16:00 Microsoft Press Conference
Microsoft Executive Meeting Centre
Hotel Catalonia Plaza
(organized by Microsoft Mobility Team at Weber Shandwick - a PR company that Microsoft uses)
Most likely the main speaker will be Pieter Knook (the highest in hierarchy manager responsible for Windows Mobile and not for other unrelated divisions) together with some other top managers from Microsoft and Microsoft partner companies (operators and manufacturers).

Well, threaded SMS, IE zooming and page preview... not just homescreen
Any Updates
I am seeing a lot of 6.1 related posts for other phones, but nothing on the Excalibur. Does anyone have any updates/links for a 6.1 ROM for the Excalibur?
i'd love an update too. i read on another site a quick writeup. they said for smartphone the 6.1 update will help to resolve (note: not fix entirely) the memory leaking issues. that's my biggest hope, that and an updated IE... though with the new opera coming out, it might be outdone before it even has a chance anyway.
Windows Mobile 6.1 is out, emulator images also
Here is the official press release for Windows Mobile 6.1
EveryWAN Remote Support and Mobility Manager already work on those OS flavors.
You can download the Windows Mobile 6.1 emulator images.
Don't play too late with it this night !
I am getting started with the Blue angel (O2 Xda IIs)
I like it a lot this will probably become my best buddy during my travels
I intend to use it for business purposes, mainly Internet through
Wifi and GPRS, pdf and offices documents.
I saw on this forum that you advise to change from WM 2003SE to Windows Mobile 6 (the last published by Microsoft)
-My question is: This PDA is already a bit old now, is it going to work smoothly wit the very last OS, which is designed for more recent PDAs (i.e which should be more efficient).
I mainly want to use it for Internet, wich browser do you recommend ?
Internet explorer? Opera Mobile? Opera Mini? other browser?
By the way what is the difference between Opera Mobile and Opera Mini
1. I propose you to search for information about differences between 2003 and wm5/6. Ity is hudge.
2. Look for problems you might encounter after update (not to be suprised). WM5 was never officially prepared and unleashed for BA, so it's straightforward and problem-free, but it works fine after all, if you know what you are doing.
3. Yes, WM5, WM6 and even WM6 work fine on BA (with some usual small problems). Speed is very good and much better than many other devices (for example my HTC Hermes is MUUUUCH slower that BA).
4. It's worth updating mostly because new software is usually not compatibile with PPC2003 any more.
5. Browsers: you have to test and decide on your own what you need, how you want it be feed and what are your restictions (speed, security). Like there is no one car for everyone (apart from Ford T) there is also no one browser for everyone. Test, try and choose on your own. You have the choice now (IE, Opera Mobile, Opera Mini, Netfront and 2 other experimental based on WebKit).
Opera mini is a java applet: you request a page, it is prerendered on proxy server in Norway (at Opera) and send back to your phone in scaled down version. Cheaper, faster, but less secure (never use it for your online banking). Works on virtually any java-enabled cell phone with internet access.
Opera Mobile is full Windows Mobile browser that downloads and renders everything directly on your phone. Worth trying, especially upcoming 9 series looks promising (alphas are already circulating on XDA forums).
Does anyone know if this new video enabled version of Skype is being ported to Windows Mobile (6.1) devices like the Touch Pro? Any timeframe.
Thanks,
Joe
Skype for Windows Mobile is not supported anymore ...
certainly not.
why?
because winmo 6.1 is purely and simply dead.
because winmo 6.5 is also in the graveyard with his little brother.
because skype has made already an end to this both plateform.
hahah hardly
wm6.x is hardly dead. is much more versatile than i-app-phone or goo-OS app crap...
Skype is losing revenue because there will be many that wont switch to limited os app based garbage.
cell phones in general are becoming dead in the beginnings of losing like landlines were 10 years ago... and there are other voip alternatives. you just have to look for them.
Salt at all, someone can tell me if there is a link to download a version of Skype running on a Samsung i900 Omnia with windows mobile 6.1 pro.
thank you for your interest.
Hi yann73 , in yahoo or in google search for "skype windows mobile" , look for the link that says "Skype Windows Mobile ... v3.0.0.256" , download file from a trustworthy site.
There are two types of files out there, one is a cab, another is exe, same version. Get the "exe" version.
Connect your Windows Mobile phone with your windows (pc/desktop/laptop) computer thru ActiVeSync type of sync software.
then run/execute the 'exe' version installer, it will install necessary stuff in ur computer first, then rightaway it will start to transfer+install inside ur Phone.
In my experience, i wasnt able to make the cab version worked on Phone, but the exe version when installed in Phone sync connection then it worked, ur experience may vary.
If audio doesnt work properly then you will also need the "WM Audio Redirector.zip" or AudioRoute, a free soft, search here in xda-dev.
As below phones are similar to mine, it should work on all of them : HTC Touch Diamond, Touch Diamond2, Touch HD, Touch HD2, Touch 3G, Mogul/Titan 6800, Kaiser / TyTN II , P4550 & Samsung Omnia i900.
That will allow to use Audio & Text chat . No Video chat support on that version of skype , unless some1 makes a VideoRoute software for it, like AudioRoute.
