Everybody these days is discussing the upcoming GPS ROM for our favorite Trinity, but the next question is: will a new ROM come out to upgrade our baby to the newly announced Windows Mobile 6.0 ?
WM6?

Will keep my fingers crossed and hope for it ... On the Himalayas & Blue Angels which started off as WM2003, there are ROMS (unofficial) for WM2003SE, WM5 (latest AKU 3.5) while on the Magician it has always stuck on WM2003SE.
So in short, pray hard. I will join you in praying as I would love to have WM6 on my trinity as well ;-)
PS : Now we got the GPS to work on the trinity, any luck to 'enable' the FM radio as well? There has been speculation on the FM Radio being available on the Trinity. :-D that would make this one of the most feature packed PPC on earth ..
I agree. I don't see Trinity's successor being released anytime soon so they should just go ahead with keeping their latest phone up to date.
As for the FM radio, hell yeah, if it's there, why the hell not enable it? Oh, wait, don't tell me... is the FM radio conflicting with the Bluetooth?
i do also keep my fingers crossed!!

if we can DUMP an original Hong Kong ROM from Trinity we can make a FM Radio test with European or American version

I think theres a fair chance of a WM6 tom given that the Trinity is reasonably new, from all accounts there is no Trinity successor on the horizon, and with all their variants im sure the Hermes/Trinity will recieve user-made WM6s.
Fingers crossed anyway.
Fingers crossed for all that bought it sure, but there ARE trinity/tytn successors in the horizon.
For example look for HTC Kaiser, a thinner Tytn with GPS (i.e. everything that tytn and trinity is now).
Don't expect an official update. This is the reply I received from HTC:
Thank you for your enquiry concerning the HTC P3600 mobile device.
Unfortunately we will not upgrade our current devices to include the Mobile 6 software.? However, there will be new devices out which will include the software.
Should you have any other problem, please do not hesitate to call us. Your Local number can be found at Http://www.europe.htc.com/support/cs_by_phone.html
Best regards,
HTC Support

quite strange! Microsoft annunced yesterday WM6 saying it will be possible to upgrade some "old" devices like t-mobile dash with WM6!
The question is: when will they release an official P3600 successor?
And how much it will cost. And if it is worth waiting for it.
Tytan you are not very long in the PocketPC world eh?
"possible to upgrade" doesn't mean "the vendor will do it"
same happened in the past (more than once)
Well ... if they in fact do not release a WM6 update for the D810, then it will only hamper their sales in Australia, seeing that they only released the D810 on Jan 16th (1 month ago). So, as new WM devices are released with WM6, it will make it hard to compete if they do not provide a WM6 update ... regardless of all the functions this puppy has.

We have already talked about that. Look at google.
Couple of announcements started coming out from 3GSM on upgrades, Imate to upgrade a few, Palm to upgrade Treo, nothing from HTC so I doubt it.
I've found HTC to be follower not a leader in these type of things, same goes for their products, they are only inavative if they have to be. I guess if enough people complain and they get enough bad rap they might but from everything I've seen with HTC, they couldn't give to <fill in any explicit word here> about their customers.
Doesn't matter, Trinity will tied me over until some of those new Imate devices come out, if they live up to the specs coming out of 3GSM, there will be some pretty amazing devices, I can't want to see the clamshell one, hope it comes in HTC killing black as well as gold

dear guys, i know you are the best in upgrading our smartphones, do you know if there is, or soon will be an upgrade to wm6.1 for s620???
tnx
Not yet.. but I think that soon it will come to S620.
We are all waiting for this update
I actually got to play with a Windows Mobile 6.1 Dash but it still seemed to lag a fair amount. Just had a flashier home screen. Everything seemed to be the same. They added Copy and Paste as well.

Oh man that's great news!!! I am excited. At least that confirms that there is a very high chance we will have to upgrade. Hopefully it will become more stable and not have memory leaks.
Thanks Jamerican....
did you check the new PIE how is it, does it have flash???
How about threaded sms like the PPC version has??
i'm actually really curious about wm6.1 too. I know it's out already, so where are the ROMs at? BTW, does anyone have access to HTC's downloads for the S620-621? When I attempted to register my unit with the serial # at their site, it wouldn't let me since it knew it was T-Mo Dash instead.
EDIT: well a quick search on google yielded this interesting result:
http://www.brighthand.com/default.asp?newsID=13800
I guess that's why we're not seeing any wm6.1 devices anytime soon...
even so, here at xda-developers you can see upgrades to 6.1 for some devices, so i guess we´ll just have to wait a little bit, but its going yo be here i´m sure
Google is your friend. Many websites have covered the new WM6.1 features. Basically it comes out to these:
* Threaded SMS - A Chat like function for your SMS Inbox
* Zoom out in Pocket IE - Enables Page overview mode and better navigation
* One Note included in Office Mobile
* Running Programs tab in Settings > Memory replaced to a better Task Manager. (But the previous running programs tab was much simple and easier)
* A new Managed Programs menu
As you can see, no mention of flash incorporation in PIE. Personally, I won't upgrade until it is as fast as the HTC ROM I'm using now. I am, however, really excited about threaded SMS.
wm6.1 does exist for the dash.
Lets put it this way. People have HTC excalibur running wm6.1. 6.1 adds a new home screen, better IE (much better IE), copy & paste, new version of active sync, etc, etc. WM6.1 is also faster. I'm not sure when this will be avaliable to everyone... but it does exist.
Actually I tried it at a M$ event at my school. The lady said it would take at least 10 months for consumers to see it. That does not include carrier customization etc. Pissed me off.

Yup, i'll vouch for this. I have open touch v3 on my wing and love it. Sometimes i like to go out with my dash since its slimmer and wow its like night and day how slow it is. Even with the new HTC rom that was posted...
Am I missing something here? When did the Wing get a system that isnt released yet? I am confused

WM 6.1 is alive and well on the PPC platform. First batch of WM 6.1 Professional ROMs hit the scene about a week and a half ago and I may be wrong about this but I believe the wing (HTC Herald) was the first to get it from our fine chefs here on XDA-DEV. Still waiting on a 6.1 Standard version for our favorite non-touchscreen devices (HTC Excalibur etc)...
Also don't forget that fortunately/unfortunately the touchscreen devices are way more popular than the non-touchscreen devices.
Personally I believe my T-Mobile Dash running the HTC ship rom is way more stable than any other Windows Mobile device I have ever owned, and I've had quite a few as can be seen in my sig.
Thats interesting, I had no idea!
I don't want to waste time flashing my Dash with a cooked 6.0 ROM (HTC ROM) if 6.1 is only a few weeks away. Any estimate from the ROM cookers on a 6.1 release for the Dash?

HTC begins shipping its Diamond handset with updated TouchFLO interface.
One of HTC's Diamond key selling points is its TouchFLO 3D interface, which brings a new way to scroll through contacts, browse the Internet, and the like. However, unfortunately, performance has been generally sluggish. HTC looks to remedy this, by releasing a newer version of the interface on new Touches. The newer version of the interface looks to bring an significant speed-boost to the table. There is no word if current owners will be able to upgrade to the new version as of yet.
source: Mobile-Review
Does anybody have their hands on this updated version? Or at least some more info about it - version number, included in new rom, performance video etc.
If this is true this wil be verry handy. I recently order my diamond, however it was sold out. New shipment is expected in early July, so maybe i get a new version
Ive just ugraded my ROM to version 1.37.405.1 WWE and can confim that touchflo 3D runs much more smoothly!
I would suggest version 1.37.456.2
It is newer with some new versions of programs and much faster!!!
Hmmmm i wonder if they are talking about the 1.37.456.2 ROM or about something different and newer... w8 n see i guess
I am using my diamond in the US, which WWE ROM are you using, and more important where did u downloaded it ?
honestly guys this has NOTHING TODO WITH ROM DEVELOPMENT!!!
jesus lets try and post this in the correct forums.

Apologies, but I thought it'll be usefull information for you guys cooking roms. Move it to the general Diamond section if you wish.
Still no news on this theme? Seeming that the O2 versions of the diamond are shipping in more countries every day i would think that the new touchflo version has appeared somewhere...
Does anyone know if:
i) TellMe has been released. I was the under the impression it would be available at the same time as WM 6.5. It's not available via the (UK) Marketplace at the moment.
ii) If it has been released does anyone have a cab? According to something I read over in the Topaz forum it won't be made available in the UK until q3 2010! that just seems ridiculous! I'd love to get my hands on it and see how it compares to WMVC.
So, can anyone shed any light on the above to questions? Search Google (and Bing) just seems to throw me up PR stuff about the Microsoft acquisiton of TellMe and the release talked up back in April.

Had just found that myself! Was coming on here to post the link to Ppcgeeks:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.php?p=1263091&postcount=1
Well it installs to the blackstone, creates a link in the start menu however when I start it it just instantly goes back to the home screen. i'm running Laurentius Leo V3
It ONLY work with netcf 3.5. I had the same problem. When I installed netcf 3.5 it works fine.
Download from here.

running laurentius V3.55. netcf 3.5 is already in tHE rom . the same situation of rlatarchel.
it installs to the blackstone, creates a link in the start menu however when I start it it just instantly goes back to the home screen
Me too; running Dutty's Leo R6. Icon there i nthe start menu but won't run. Have associated the pick-up key long press with it and that won't work either. Guess we may just have to keep waiting a little longer.
I bet it's not even as good as MSVC anyway!
Install TellMe on my HD with NRG WM 6.5 from 17 Octomber Build with the build in NET CF 3.5 Already in the ROM the same problem when i click on the app just the phone go to the Home Today screen...................................................
If someone find desigion will be cool
You must have microsoft voice installed for it to work
Hi,
I was thinking to move from my S620 to Snap because I noticed that the development of 3VOLUTION ROMs ( and all the others ) are not going on.
What do you think about?
May we expect new Roms for our S620?
bye!
lebero
Agreed.
We need to see more 3volution roms for the Excalibur. Maybe based on the new 6.5.3 core.
same situation
I have update my s620 to the last 3vo rom available (fantastic!), and my idea is to wait to change the phone until WiMo7 will be described in details (you know, multitasking and so on...).
As of today, before moving from WiMo to Android, i'm happy to play with the Hexcalibur, and any new rom will be well accepted!
I ask to 3VOLUTION author
have you plannes new Roms for Excalibur?
thanks!
lebero
you guys don't realize what oOkBa went though to get that rom to run as smooth as it does now, on a device that's 4 years old, I was one of the first beta testers of the 3VO 6.5 from when it was 1.0, and now at 3.0 maybe he has reached a plateau where there's not much else he can use that's still compatible or that it works well on the excalibur.
Instead of making a new thread asking about it, why don't you ask in the proper rom thread or pm him about it, you might get an answer quicker that way.
Hey Roloracer,
Good point you made.
First let me BIG UP oOkba for his roms. I jus installed 3.0 runs ok but the camera dosent work, any ideas on a quick fix?
Thanks Again
