Two links to sites about HTC official road maps plans for WM6 for HTC phones.
I am not sure though if these are t-mobiles roms for t-mobile bought dashes. I dont know much about roms so please some one elaborate.
WM6 T-mobile = May Everyone else = June
This makes sense since in the original press release Microsoft said T-Mobile will be the first operator to release WM6. This just means that the effective licensing dates are different, even if the phones with WM6 are made and shipped they can't be sold until the street date set by Microsoft.
The article says that HTC devices will be getting WM6 in APRIL not June. Or am I missing something?
HTC might be starting in June, but T-Mobile is starting sooner for the Dash...?
If you look at the pdf official announcement:
http://www.solopalmari.com/images/stories/007/04/WM6_statement_b_.pdf
You'll notice that in the body of the announcement it says:
"The upgrades will be rolled out from June, in line with our operator partners’ strategies."
BUT you'll also see that in the Additional Q's section it says:
"When will the upgrade be available?
The upgrades will be rolled out from April."
Which one is right??
release date
unbranded phones get the wm6 rom in april operator branded phones in june. they better start putting them out quick apr. is almost over.
Tentative Release Date for ROM Upgrade.
I spoke with an engineer at T-Mobile, and the official release is tentatively set for the week of May 4th. This is just for the ROM upgrade, not for the Dash preloaded with WM6.

Just out of curiosity, where would the upgrades made available? From t-mobile, I mean. I thought it was supposed to be in the "My T-Mobile" page, but there is no indication of such upgrades (or any future ones)?
Is there anyone who has seen T-Mobile releasing upgrades for others (like MDA compact, etc etc). Or is this non-existance? (like in this case?)
Dunno for WWE but german updates/upgrades will be made available @ http://www.t-mobile.de/software/
For blackberry on mda2/3 they are @ http://www.t-mobile.de/business/blackberry/software
cheers
T-Mobile is so far the slowest upgrader in the universe......
You'll be waiting a long, long time.
People are actually considering bringing this issue to consumer organisations. The upgrade policy of T-Mobile borders on criminality.
No sarcasm here, this is a plain fact, if you want a rom upgrade, get it somewhere else.
Ah~ so, it is a good thinking-action to flash the ROM from T-mobile's to Jasjar.
Right now, I am still looking through google about T-mobile && update which only points to a dead link on Hewlett packard's pda upgrade.
So, I will stick to upgrading it as a jasjar instead of as MDA Pro. Thanks!
Correct! T-Mobile is slow on updates. I mentioned several software bugs I've encountered (Media player full screen, Windows Security update, freezes after power off, etc etc) to T-Mobile representatives and they replied that the MDA Compact had been on the market for 9 months and still had no posted ROM upgrades. Short answer: Don't expect update ROMs from T-Mobile any time soon. (Besides, they probably think posting updates promotes end-users flashing their own ROMs, which from their perspective is a liability; foolishness!)
I spoke with t-mobile tech dudes earlier in the week, and there is to be a compact release soon, and a pro one after that.
Time to learn how to cook roms I spose and create our own t-mob one.
http://t-mobile.iris-global.com/
This is where T-Mobile will post new rom updates, another way to get there is to go to http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/webnwalksoftware/
BTW the reason tmob takes so long to update everything (roms, hset range) is cos they like to watch other networks for all the problems happening and then fix those problems before release, ie before the 6630 was released on tmob the nokia test hsets sent out did not give the option of doing a network selection or changing from dual band to gsm, they waited for other net to have problem then sold newer version.
also what barnowl what do you mean by 'The upgrade policy of T-Mobile borders on criminality.'??????

No news as yet, but that's what we have come to expect from HTC themselves!
Leaf Wireless the distributors for HTC in South Africa should have the new HTC WM6 out in a week or so.

I guess the Orange update would be after another year following the HTC release considering their last release was few months ago
Does anyone else find Orange's email customer service enfuriating? I find they never actually read the whole email, just the first two lines. I was just enquiring about the Touch Pro2, whether it was replacing the discontinued Tohttp://forum.xda-developers.com/newthread.php?do=postthread&f=488uch HD and whether they had a release date in mind. Unfortunately before writing that I mentioned my contract was coming to and end and this was the reason I wanted to know about the phone.
Does anyone have any insight into the date of this phone release? I asked two weeks ago and a nice woman said she'd text me with any information and that it would be out within the next two weeks.
Then I rang yesterday and I was told there were never any plans to release the Touch Pro2 but that they were going to release the Diamond2. Just now I've had a reply stating
I am awfully sorry to advise that unfortunately this model is currently not available on Orange on the personal accounts and I am currently unable to confirm if and when it will become available on the Orange network.
I am able to confirm that HTC Touch Pro 2 phone is due to be released to Small Business customers only.

Raaar.
I asked Orange France for branded TP2. They don't have release date in France...
I want to change mobile provider but I wait the branded TP2 to have nice price offer...
Ok, so it appears some carriers have blocked the first update that does nothing to WP7.
To take a quote from WP7 support:
[Some Mobile Operators have the right to skip one update if they wish.
However, they can't skip the next one, which would be an acumulative update and would include the previous one.
So if your mobile operator decided to block this one, you will be getting the early March one (which will include the Feb one too)]
from Microsoft Windows Phone Forum
The concern is if they block an update that does nothing, what will they do in future?
So, lets try to isolate which ones havent updated yet - if you have a BRANDED handset that HAS OR HAS NOT been updated :
U
- name the Carrier/Branding, Handset Model and Country so others know.
As updates hit these phones, I will append the date of the update to the handset on the list.
No update
ATT LG Quantum
ATT Samsung Focus
ATT HTC Surround
T-Mobile HTC HD7 (US I assume)
T-Mobile Dell Venue Pro. (US I assume)
Telus LG Optimus 7
Telus HTC Surround
Orange HTC 7 Mozart
Orange (France)
SFR (France)
Telstra LG Optimus 7Q
Telstra HTC Mozart - UPDATE - Mid march maybe
Vodafone (Spanish) LG Optimus 7
Now released
O2 Branded HD7 Released 3/3
Vodafone Netherlands HTC 7 Trophy - Released 6/3
Vodafone (Australia) HTC Trophy - release - some other regions also 3/3
Optus - Released 3/3
Vodafone AU - released 3/3
There is also a list of carriers who are apparently confirmed to be pusing it out - but I would debate this to be totally accurate (as with the above list) as they too are sourcing their information from posts by people who may not necessarily know if their phone is Branded.
http://wmpoweruser.com/carriers-who-are-confirmed-to-be-pushing-out-updates/
My t mobile hd7 has not received any updates so far.
None of my US branded devices are recieving anything
ATT LG Quantum
ATT Samsung Focus
ATT HTC Surround
T-Mobile HTC HD7
my unbranded devices received update love though...
ATT Focus
My ATT Samsung Focus has not received an update notification.
Vodafone HTC Trophy
Orange HTC 7 Mozart
I think there was an article somewhere stating that this update is being rolled out in steps to ensure that it goes out smoothly.
i think it is quite probable that MS is also sort of dipping its toe in the water before it dives in with the first proper update.

Of course this is possible, but then they go post things like:

Is it actually T-Mobile branded firmware?

When I asked if TmoUSA was blocking the update, I got this response from WindowsPhoneSupport...
We don't have any information on that. If you still haven't received the update please be patient and check back later. ^EB

Thanks for that.
At this stage, I am just compliling a list of branded phones that have not been updated - as they get updated, I will ammend the list and append the date of the update next to the carrier.
I love that, Microsoft say they dont know if a carrier has blocked an update...

Well, in the support team's defense, they probably wouldn't be given that information, especially the Twitter branch of it... At least not this early. I think they're just tiering the updates, and maybe holding them off until they fix this Samsung issue...

You need to compile a list of people that HAVE received the update, not people that have not: Microsoft directly said the first update would NOT be rolled out to everyone.
Also, what's the big deal ? It's just a pre-emptive update, not something that actually matters.

Actually, it has the first batch of OEM software updates, so it does matter.
I am monitoring the update thread for those that have.
Samsung Focus with AT&T here and still without an update. I wish there was another way to get them.
Neither me or my mate have received updates on our T-Mobile Samsung Omnia 7s

Sorry, I must have missed that: link please?
It certainly doesnt say that on the announcment page: http://windowsteamblog.com/windows_...t-windows-phone-update-and-how-to-get-it.aspx
What we know so far... The carriers below have tested and approved the update and are waiting on Microsoft to deploy it.
Official word from Microsoft is Mango will start rolling out between September 26th and October 9th.
Vodafone Australia
Optus
Telstra
Telus
Bell
O2 Germany
Deutsche Telekom
SFR France
Orange France
O2 UK
Other information as follow:
AT&T to start rollout on September 27th for HTC Surround, LG Quantum and Samsung Focus Rev. v1.3 (supposedly as there's no official word directly from AT&T to consumers)
have not deployed on telstra yet
Talked to O2 in UK and they just say they cannot say anything about it. Useless company and useless staff.
Oh Oh Oh, I have confirmation from "3" UK that they are..doing absolutely..nothing. That was 3 days ago.
I did post this in another thread but I think it got ignored because of countless "WHERES MY UPDATE" posts.
Give my email address to /b/ and I will kill all of you.

If no one posted, then call them up to see if you can find any info, that's what everyone else is doing...
I heard some, probably not accurate, stuff, that AT&T should be rolling out Mango on day 1, which _could_ be as soon as Monday. But don't believe me, it might be HOAX.
Oh and Windows Phone CZ on Facebook asked if we are preparing for Mango update in upcoming DAYS
AT&T said, "AT&T will be among the first to offer the Windows Phone Mango update to its leading portfolio of Windows Phones this fall." Not sure if that means you can get it on day 1.
Orange Uk
Just had a tweet from orange customer services |(Uk)
We have no specific details on a Windows phone update I'm afraid
