I guess it will be anytime soon. Ive heard from a friend who is an official reseller that HTC guys told them that by the end of this month, but of course this doesnt mean by the end of this month, but maybe by end of August. So.. soon..

O2 Germany try to release the german ROM next monday, or 27th of July. If they solve their videocallproblem. latest rumor date: September.

Looks like June for WM6 Upgrade

http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/cellphon...roadmap-shows-at-least-a-june-wait-253805.php
http://msmobiles.com/news.php/6269.html
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.

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

UK Release date / GSM exclusivity

Hey does anyone know if any networks are claiming exclusivity to the Touch Pro 2 in the UK and even when its likely to be with the different GSM companies.
My TyTnII is getting very worn down and I dont fancy buying a second SIM-free phone to get the Pro2 to replace it.
i am also (and for a looooong time) eagerly awaiting the answer to this question!
my kaiser looks like it got imported from the classic starwars era, or has just been fighting the taliban in afghanistan, call buttons are just red or green haphazard scratches and the windows start button...lol its not even there anymore!
Mobilegazette have it hitting t-mobile in the UK, Germany, Netherlands, Austria and Czech Republic in June.
Orange retentions UK, confirmed it's on their list of coming soon but no specific date.
O2 release
Any word on an o2 release as i cant see why it wouldnt but would be nice to know that i dont have to change networks to get it.
Then again o2 keep tight lipped on everything until it is actually released.
lets hope its not the same farse on tmobile that the MDA Vario 4 was.

I had a meeting with a sales rep from o2 the other day with a view to switch from Vodafone to o2 and he mentioned that they are looking at getting some updated HTC models in soon and whilst he couldnt give names he hinted at the diamond2 would be one and the pro2 may be another.
He also said that they put their devices through a long testing period before release so they can put their custom ROM in.

Which means a release in late-2010 for upgrade customers over retentions. I am willing to put alot of money on this to be the case.

Yeah which is why im not holding out on O2 for anything with the Pro2.
At the moment I am considering taking the upgrade on orange to the touch HD, selling my original touch HD (bought sim free) and then buying the Pro2 sim free when it comes out.
What i want to do is have Orange announce the Pro2 then see what deal they can concoct to keep me on the network when I come to review my contract in a month or 2

It had better come out on o2 as i really dont want to switch to orange and really cant be arsed with the move to a new network, come on o2 and bring it to us earlier than 6 months after the full realease of the phone!

I dont mind which network takes it - Orange would be less hassle for me as im already there but I just want a network to confirm it and put it on a coming soon page so i can plan leaving or working on getting a pre-order in
Phone will be out on orange later this month, maybe towards the end as it should not conflict with the launch of the omnia hd which is due this week, T Mobile will be getting the touch diamond with a view to picking up the touch pro 2 in july. Nothing on o2 or vodafone as of yet.

Hope this is correct
thats what i got in writing from htc (without any commitment as observation of course). If we compare the time periord of release of the diamond and touch pro it was aprox.the same, so it could be true.

Any idea how long internal coming soon turns to official coming soon/release. My commitment date on the contract just passed for my TyTnII and i am looking to upgrade ASAP!

well the omnia hd went on mid april and its being launched this week now, the touch pro 2 came on around the same time frame and should land end of this month or begining of june. supplier problems hindered the launch of the omnia hd though , was meant to be last week so might have pushed the touch pro 2 back a bit
The Expansys website has been updated to say...
Availability: Normally less than 5 days
I sent an email to them asking if this is the case and when we can expect it to be release.
This is the reply...
Many thanks for your enquiry , please be advised that the Touch Pro 2 is out towards the end of June.
I hope this aint true.

[Q] Slightly worrying comment on Voda UK board about FroYo release.

In the ongoing discussion about when Vodafone will release FroYo for their branded Desires, someone has just authoritatively posted this;
****The "Official" release of v2.20 (FroYo) software for the HTC Desire, Vodafone branded, will be 28th October 2010****
Link here; http://forum.vodafone.co.uk/topic/63923-htc-desire-android-22-coming-soon/page__st__80
Vodafones bought on contract from Carphone Warehouse. Are they branded?

Australian M9 6.0 update

Does anyone have any clue of when the 6.0 update will arrive for the Australian m9, or even just an estimated like when the DevEd received the 5.1 and when the Australian M9 received it?

I think it'll be a month, worst case two. Vodafone has this software updates thread where they post details about any updates progress. They probably only received the update themselves late December when the DevEd received it and will test it prior to launching it. Hopefully the update doesn't have any issues.

I recently emailed htc uk to ask when the wwe version gets the update and the reply stated that there is no set date, certainly not in the immediate future. So there are 2 possibilities. 1, the update will not be in January. 2, 6.0 might get dropped completely and skipped straight to 6.0.1 as 6.0.1 is scheduled early 2016 and is an immediate bugfix for 6.0.
So, considering carriers are a couple of months later I'd put it at late 2nd quarter of 2016.
