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!
Attachment:
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

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...
Thinking to buy Artemis (~ dopod P800w). any idea for future upgrade to crossbow (wm6)?

Read this...
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.

Dear Jim,
Thank you for contacting O2 Asia Technical Support.
You may wish to be advised that O2 has recently released the Windows Mobile 6 upgrade for Xda Atom Life users. Aside from that, O2 Asia currently has no plans of providing WM6 for current models including XDA Flame. You may wish to refer time and again in the near future to www.seeo2.com for further information on the devices with Windows Mobile 6.
Please inform me of any other assistance that you may require. I wish you success in your future endeavours.
Sincerely,

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?

I agree. I'm sure something like this would happen. It's pretty stupid to release such a powerful PDA with an outdated OS...

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.
Warmest Regards,

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.
In a reply to an article on the Dutch site www.connexie.nl it says that the HTC Europe Servicedesk announced that the WM6 updates will be released this week.
Could it be true or is it just another rumour?
Original article (in Dutch) can be found here:
http://www.connexie.nl/actueel/620/htc_updates_morgen_beschikbaar.html
The reply I'm referring to is the reply by Bart Verhoeve. He writes literally that the servicedesk employee assured him that the updates will be released in week 31.
Strange that on the HTC Europe site you now have to register to download phone updates.
Maybe WM6 is close afterall....
According to my contact at Microsoft , HTC will release the WM6 update on Aug 17
yep the Hermes update came out this week. No sign of the excalibur update though, the last time we heard from HTC they said September.
I found this on the HTC site (section HTC Press Office):
31/07/07 - Windows Mobile® 6 upgrade for HTC TyTN
HTC has made a Windows Mobile 6® OS upgrade available for users of the popular HTC TyTN device.
The TyTN becomes the first HTC device to get the upgrade, with the HTC P3300, S620 and Advantage also scheduled to receive the upgrade from August.

is there a windows mobile 6 upgrade available anywhere for the I-Mate JAQ?
--bump--
any1?
Not yet. The JAQ isn't really supported by i-mate anymore. They promised a WM6 update (even on the box for the phone) but haven't delivered. As it's not HTC hardware, it's going to be hard to find a dedicated group of developers willing to cook up a ROM for it.
