there is no update for artemis scence laste 4 month. No great rom or any update, the latest rom is just change in colour and graphic for touch 4.02
so i think Atremis is outdated.
The rom builders might abandone ship beucouse its lack in "power" if ur doing a job that takes alot of time i guess u want to make it as cool as u can and i have to say even thoug i like my p3300 i wish it had more built in memory faster cpu but for most a better lcd with higher resolution.
and why HTC dosent make updates isn´t that hard to figure out they gave us wm 6 but now they want us to buy new devices and i can say that i am probblebly buy one later becouse i really like my p3300 and hope that the newer modells will be as nice (but more powerfull)

nah i think it's probably cause they have other devices they are tinkering with at the same time.
as far as power, i got one i traded fro my MDA pro ( yea i know it's not vga but it's fun to play with when i'm not messing with my Ameo ) and it seems to be just fine
Battery status plugin ( look in the Prophet forum) works great on it and allows overclocking to the respect that it speeds up the device greatly. don't overclock too far or will cause crash's but find that sweet spot above the orig cpu clock speed and it does make a diffrence
what are you talking about.
This here came out at the beginning of this month.

Whether you want to face up to it or not, the Artemis is getting out of date. Its been available for at least 18 months possibly even more, and the new version was released a few months back so that can't make it much clearer! (HTC Polaris\Touch Cruise\whatever you want to call it.) They are constantly coming up with more powerful phones which are able to run better software so its obvious things are going to be out of support eventually. Get a decent 'Vanilla' rom, load what software you want on there and just be happy with it because I've had mine nearly 18 months now and its had the same rom on there for the past 5 or so. Once its setup how you need it why bother flashing other roms because they look a bit nicer.
well the cooking rate did fall a bit,but that's because meschle retired...now is time when new cookers learn and gain experience
so be patient
and comparing to other devices artemis roms are the best for me,i have a hermes,atom,magician and himalaya and no rom can match artemis's especially meschle's roms (apps,tweaks,functionality,balance between speed and memory)
I've been away from the forums for a while... (2 jobs, 7 day work weeks, holidays, family, etc...)
So, can anyone summarize the differences between NFSFANs's 6.1 and 6.5 rom? the one I have on my phone now is 6.1 with manilla 2d, with radio 3.42.3?.
I want to have this phone "optimal" for another year... then I can dive into android...

Why wait a year for android? Rumors say sometime in March, for the HTC Supersonic. Android phone, 1 ghz processor, 4.3 in screen, and Sprint wimax network. Pretty much the HD2, except for the 4g and android.
Like the title of my thread, will it be possible?
HTC HD 2 running WP7
Yes...!!!!

thats an HD2 not an TP2, HD2 is the only device from HTC which will be official compatible with WM 7.
because WM7 needs a capacitive tochscreen it will not work on TP2.

hi realy dont think so since wm7 needs a captive screen and needs all the hardware like hd2 manely or tp2 cant handle this

Haha, I hope they will release TP3 in time with WP7 I'm also curious about the dual core snapdragon processors which are announced with the end of this year

When I had the T-Mobile Wing they said we could not get WM6.5 and now thanks to XDA we have it. Now I have the TP2 and even though the screen doesn't support some of the command I would not be surprized if there was success in getting WM7 onto this phone (limited in functionality and may be very slow). At any rate I will be getting the HD2 on March 24 when it comes out to T-Mobile.

IMHO, the GUI is not that complex that you really need complex hardware. If MS really wanted, i believe it could run on a TP2 too (even with multitouch). 529Mhz is not that slow. And your TP2 has OPENGL 1.1? hardware which is not really used very well.
But like MS said, they put a lot of work to let the hardware and software work really together. Which in other words they say you need to buy new hardware (faster CPU, OPENGL 2.0; base ram 512MB)
Even now it could technically run on HD2, the HD2 device is not officially compliant with the 3 hardware buttons a Win7 mobile device needs (back, start , search). I wonder how to map the search button.
Let's only hope!
I am sure that if someone can get the current ROMs for the HD2, which are technically designed for a capacitive screen, to work on the TP2, I would bet money that someone will be able to port it over and make it work. We won't really know until stuff starts getting leaked. That would be great though. I would really like to give WP7 a test run before dumping $500 on a new phone!!
TP2 will be able to run WP7 (maybe there might be problems with OpenGL ES 2.0 missing). The right question is - will MS make BSP for it? I highly doubt it.

Yep me too. Although i'm gonna ditch my TP 2 as soon as I get confirmation of WM7 running on the hd2.
I saw somewhere that Windows Phone 7 will require a 1ghz processor. The HD2 has that and the Touch Pro 2 doesn't.
If someone does get Windows Phone 7 ported over, it's likely going to run a little slowly.
don't forget mandatory 4 point multitouch... that might be a problem for full functionality.
I seem to remember the guy who introduced WM7 (WPS7) saying something about the 7 series being slated for all manner of new phones including those with and without keyboards (I think he made reference to phones similar to BBs with keyboards on the face of the phones)...So unless the price of processors comes down significantly I really don't think every new phone running this 7 series OS will meet such demanding base requirements (1GHz processor, capacitive multitouch screens etc., etc.).
YES!

Touch Pro Series The Best Option HTC have!
according to several websites like: http://www.redmondpie.com/htc-hd2-to-get-windows-mobile-7-upgrade-9140128/ the HD2 will get windows mobile 7. but TP2 will most likely be up to the devs here at the XDA if they can do it. My feelings are that if they can get android going on TP2 (so far so good) then they can do windows mobile 7.
In my opinion, our devices are transition devices, most of us are waiting/hoping for a TP3 better than HD2, or at least with similar specifications as the HD2.
TP2 runs WP7, but it reminds me of my old Artemis with WM65 and TF2D, .
We´ll see it coming soon.
Cheers.
i have a blue angel runnign wm 6.5 so anything is possible especially if there is enough interest.
I understand why the move makes sense for MS but personally from what I've seen of WM7 I'm in no hurry for it to get here. Now if i could get my TP2 with a 1ghz cpu i might look at it but until the smart guys here at XDA figure out how to get past WM7's limitations i'm not in any rush to give up what I have.
It might be able to run it, but Microsoft and HTC aren't going to release anything needed to make an unofficial port happen. Sorry, but it's extremely likely that the TP2 is not going to get WM7, officially or otherwise.
And to everyone who always cites the example of Windows Mobile 6.5 running on an old device, I hate to break it to you but it's not that easy when dealing with WM7. Windows Mobile 7 is based off the Windows CE 6.0 kernel, while Windows Mobile 5 and 6.x are powered by the same CE 5.2 kernel, making a port of WM 6.x to a WM5 device pretty easy. It's much more difficult when you have a different kernel with from an OS that doesn't support most of your hardware, as it means someone has to create a BSP themselves.
No multi-tasking = No dice for me! It'd be like a downgrade! Loving my TP2 with Deep Shining Rom. I use my phone for a whole manner of things, usually business orientated. If I wanted the type of phone the Windows mobile 7 looks like it's gonna introduce, I would've bought an IPhone!

hi
i just now googled it and the price in india is as given below
Micromax W900 Price: approx. Rs. 7500 /-(this is Indian rupees)
THe mobile is good but then I am quite irritated with Windows Mobile 6.1 OS in it. It has bugs and it is not thumb friendly. I have heard that 6.5 is better and its navigation is quite friendly too. I am eagerly looking for it.
I bought it @ Rs 7650 in Hyderabad.
The battery life is just good enough for touch screen.
With normal usage it should come properly for 2 days and on 3rd day some time it should go off.
Micromax guys seems to take more time to judge the customer reviews over this mobile as it was launches just 1 - 2 months ago.
As of now is there any good Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM available?
And do I need to reinstall some pre-installed apps like SPB Home and Sygic GPS for Map my India ?
Just let me know
i told tht
we need 6.1 Rom and we can thn DIY 6.5 out of it

Hi,
I have bought a W900 myself last week. It is a chinese phone at heart with the NEXPERIA 5209 board. I am quite technically challenged, but if anyone can help me with the instructions, I will try to extract the WM6.1 from my phone as I need to upgrade as well.
I wiped my phone clean and the applications like MapMyIndia, AdobeFlash n other stuff installed themselves again. So I think they have been included in the ROM itself and can be ported to the 6.5 ROM as well.

I had my iPhone 3G stolen and was looking for a touchscreen with wi-fi. This is the only phone less than 8k running a reputed OS with touch. I bought it for 7800 in Bangalore last week.
And the bloody GPS never works so the maps are of no use anyway.
How do I go into the flash mode on the W900?? I have tried holding down the volume, camera, Start button while powering up but it does not go into the flash mode. Starts straight up to the Windows icon.

The GPS works for sure. I have tested it in my mobile. Now there are few things which you should check.
1 - Do not try for GPS in office or @ home. The signals r not strong in closed area. Go out in open area and check for valid signals.
2 - The GPS system tries to connect to valid signal and if u see at least 4 - 5 sticks then it normally gets connected.
3 - Initially, before the connection it shows gray screen. the moment u get connected it changes to normal colorful screen and automatically locate ur current location.
4 - Once this is done then the route option gets enabled and u can select ur destination too.
5 - Once ur route is selected and u start moving in ur vehicle then it start prompting for ur directions ... Like "take left after 100 meters". ...
It is one good feature of this mobile ... Do try for it and let me also tell u that it takes a little while before it connects and locate ur self. Once that is done then it is quite fast and decently good... Best of luck.

U seem to have a probable solution. And I am sorry that i didn't get what u r trying to tell me. If u r asking me to check for ROMs then I have found few ROMs which are like tested on HTC mobiles and none r tested on micromax w900 or similar hardware.
And y do we need 6.1 ROM. I mean it is already there in my mobile.
At last y the hell did Microsoft complicate this simple upgrade ... I wish it was just upgrade button click...

What the seniors mean is that we gotta dump the 6.1 ROM already on our W900 so that they can use the same basic stuff that it has but upgrade the OS to WM6.5
Each phone has its own drivers n stuff for the mobo as in PCs. That is why they have a different section for each phone in the forums.

Hi,
I just bought the Micromaxx W900 last week. Not to own but to experience it!
As i read above somebody has rightly said that it is a Chinese Phone, it has a Hisilicon-K3 (most of the phones which is are assembled in China like HTC have Hisilicon or HUAWEI processors) processor and CPU, of 460 MHz which is ok. It is also using Nexperia chipset, which also i would say OK.
But having said that they cam never be compared with Intels 620 MHz which used come with various PDA assembled in the EU.
I could not make much use of the GPS, i wonder why MapMyIndia chose to partner with them. I could not find any DRM version in the OS settings (Digital Rights Management), Doesn't seem to be a 3D touch flo. the Touch quality of a phone depends on two things - the OS and the Phones Touch quality, Unfortunately none of that supports it to have a great touch quality. there is no place to store the Stylus, you have to carry it separately in your pocket. The SPB Home's registration is also very funny, one needs the registration details for upgrade which has not been provided, at least i could not find the same anywhere in the kit.
I had some more to say but running out of time, would come back again.
regards,

Agree with everything said above EXCEPT for the stylus part. The stylus comes with a thread which you can pass through the holes at the top, just next to the headphone jack and let it hang around. I didn't find the stylus to be very comfortable in use so I've swapped it with a Nokia 5800 stylus thingy so I don't have to unscrew the stylus each time I wanna use it. Threading it thru the holes is another story, took me quite a while to do it and that too, with the help of a safety pin.

Hi,
I purchased w900 last sunday and from monday the Camera stopped working. The Battery life is so poor that if i just browse the mobile it takes around 5% of battery in 2-3 minutes. Really disappointed with this mobile. Won't recommend to anyone.
I read the dumping procedure for upgrading the ROM from 6.1 to 6.5 but i wasn't able to follow exactly what was written. I wasn't even able to locate the '.nbf' files etc. which are required for the upgrade. I need help in this context!
Thanks in advance...

My cam also stopped working so I went to Settings n did a Clean Boot. That fixed the issue for me temporarily....
found out later that Fring disabled the camera when installed. So am looking for a new IM app to stay online on GTalk using GPRS.
Well, we all heard that Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7 Phone will be out the end of this year – may be starting from October 2010. Looking at the October time frame, Microsoft has only 6 months to get Windows Phone 7 OS up to speed (In a good working condition)....

microsoft MAY want to be done with this by august to make it by october
How much of WP7 OS is Microsoft NOT showing the public yet???
Man I hope not. Even when unlocked the emulator is still missing a lot of functionality and release candidates are supposed to be feature complete.
Some screenshots of the RC version are available here (3 pages) : http://www.winsupersite.com/mobile/wp7_rc_shots.asp
