Indeed - and what a catchy tag line! "Keep the world in one!"
As HTC is Taiwan based company, it has the website here: http://www.htc.com.tw
No QTEK
support though - where do we get firmware updates from when they arrive?
Also, how about Windows Pocket - as far as I can see on the Windows Mobile site there's no downloads/support available.
For one we need the WiFi upgraded at some point...
Better buy an iMater, they have a support page and forum. :?
Don't know if this is old news here, but I just came across a news that tells about O2 Germany releasing an official WM 6 upgrade. I assume it will be for free.
The news:
http://www.onlinekosten.de/news/artikel/25536/0/XDA_Orbit_und_Trion:_o2_spendiert_Windows_Mobile_6
And the future download page:
http://www.o2online.de/nw/support/downloads/software/xda/xdatrion/index.html
Does anyone know how far I might be able to use O2 updates with my unbranded htc device with another provider? I'd say don't care, but O2's providing that home zone stuff my provider doesn't
Don't have much experience with updating my Hermes.
i hope ONE austria will do this too, or ill leave them.

I asked them some weeks ago, the answer was "WM6? Theres a new WM out?". And this was a technician from the tech hotline........ But I'm fine with the Roms on this site, no need to have all the ONE stuff in the extrom.
BTW: Did you manage UMTS to work? I only have GPRS access.
Today I also read in a printed computer magazine (C't who knows) that HTC will be releasing a free upgrade in June. According to that article on downloads.europe.htc.com, but I can't find anything usefull there yet. Let's hope for the best.
bah.. ooopopopopops
Good afternoon Paul,
Thank you for your email.
O2-UK are currently testing the Windows Mobile 6 upgrade and until this has passed all tests then unfortunately we will not be able to advise you when the upgrade will be released.
We are also unable to advise of features involved in this upgrade as this may be subject to change, dependant upon the tests.
If you have any further problems, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Kind Regards

Subject: o2 xda orbit upgrade for windows mobile 6.0
Hi, I am emailing due the release of the WM6.0 rom released via o2 Germany, and I was wondering when o2-uk will be offering the same.
I am eagerly awaiting this rom update for my new xda orbit device.
Also are your technical support team able to offer any information on any new features of the update and whether O2 active will be included in this build.
Cheers.
Paul

i just got a reply from a nice chap at o2, hopefully soon we will get our free upgrade.
i tried to get info on what will be released/new feature on wm6 for our device.but allas no joy...
hopefully they will let me test future roms etc!!
Thats a far more in depth response than I got when I asked them. All I was told was that they can't give a date and to keep checking the website for further information. Only problem is since o2's uk website is so rubbish I've not found anywhere relating to support downloads for devices!

When they finally get their act together, there will probably be another tab called 'software updates' added to the 'I've already got an Orbit' page. This has been the case with other devices, although they all had the launch ROM available on the site too, which is not the case with the Orbit.
Another in depth response from O2 UK - this is what I got from them yesterday:
Good Afternoon
Thank you for your e-mail.
We will be launching the WM 6 update for the Orbit, but unfortunately we cannot provide a specific date to you due to confidentiality.
We do believe this update will be provided during the summer period.
If you require any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Kind regards

Confidentiality from who? Customers?
Sounds like the staff at o2 are as in the dark as the customers! The information probably hasn't filtered down to the help desks yet so they're all giving their own version of events. Either that or they're telling us different stories on purpose to confuse us all!
I would go for the different stories theory. The reply i received was that they (O2) had no intention of releasing a free WM6 update as this OS was designed for new hardware and not backwards compatible.
I think O2 should get their act together. One hand doesn't know what the other is doing.
Hope it comes out soon. Time will tell.
I just received a call from O2, following up an enquiry on wm6 upgrade on orbit at their site www.my-xda.com. They said that nothing can be said at the moment but has asked me to enquire next month and they would have a definite answer on the matter.
Hi there, I joined T-Mobile UK about a month ago because it is the only network with a reasonable "unlimited" data tariff.
Given that all of the other suppliers have been releasing WM6 upgrades for the current batch of HTC based phones, I was expecting T-Mobile to do the same. Sadly, I was mistaken as you can see from the official response I've just received from them.
If you are a T-Mobile user, I would recommend that you email them directly - perhaps if enough people complain, they might change their minds - it can't be that hard since it looks like HTC do most of the work!

Thanks for your emaI Julian, asking when a Window Mobile 6 upgrade will be available for your phone.
I realise that this is important to you and I'm pleased you've emailed me to help.
Unfortunately, I'm afraid that we will not be releasing a upgrade to Windows Mobile 6 for your phone. We have decided that bringing in new MDA devices that make best use of the features of Windows Mobile 6 is a better use of our resources than rolling it out on existing devices which already work well with Windows Mobile 5.
I realise this is disappointing however, I'm pleased to tell you that we'll be including Windows Mobile 6 on all new MDA devices that are launched. This will be starting with the MDA Touch and MDA Vario III in September.
Once again, I'm sorry for the upset this may cause and I hope I've explained things clearly for you today.
Thanks for taking the time to email me Julian. I hope you continue to enjoy using your T-Mobile phone.
If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to reply to this email or you may find the help you need by visiting http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/Dispatcher?menuid=faqPage.
