Has anyone figured it out? What would it take to get WM6 running on our HTC's? Is it just a mater of getting the OS from Microsoft and upgrade or is it a custom rom specifically made for our Hermes?

The title of this thread is VERY misleading. I was almost excited!
There is a photo on the official WM6 page from Microsoft with Crossbow running on what looks to be a Tytn.

Your picture too
Here is an article with a couple videos of Windows Mobile 6. One video shows Windows Mobile 6 in action and the other shows different devices with Windows Mobile 6 installed. Three of the devices are from HTC. They highlight a HTC Typhoon, a HTC Excalibur, and what looks like an HTC Herald. I just hope that the Windows Mobile 6 version has 3G.

No kidding I almost p'd my pants.
Bad Bad title.
the good old forum search for WM6 would have turned up plenty of reading on this topic.
lol So i see i got all of your attention, i guess its misleading because there's no "?" at the end and thats the whole point of my topic
But the fact of the matter is still not answered, i know there's lots of topics on WM6 but nothing as far as our Hermes so now that i got your attention can we put our head together and figure something out because if we wait for HTC to come up with something our phones most likely die out before we can get anything out of them.....
Be careful what you wish for. My old Dell Axim X50v came with Windows Mobile 2003SE on it.. everybody clammored for WM5 once it came out. Once we got the upgrade, it was a terrible upgrade with the MS BT stack, and a bunch of apps that previously worked, that now didn't... a LOT of the aximsite members went back to 2003SE.
By the way, the stickied thread about cooked ROMs has a large amount of discussion about WM6 (crossbow) already.
hahaha thanks for the teasing

Bimboy i am aware of the x50's and those upgrades, i owned one before i got the x51v and i am a member of aximsite as well but if you did some reading in to that x50 problem you would have noticed that they cant compare the x50 upgrade to WM5 as what would it take to update the x51v to WM6 as is not the same comparison and OS systems.... and WM5 is not much different then WM6 as what Mobile 2003 was to WM5.....
Also in the end read on how many guys are still enjoying their x50's with WM5 on them as well...So i think the HTC is very likely able to handled WM6 in the end.
I like wm6

@spirit: I see in another thread you got WM6 AND won an 8525? Lucky dog! I didn't get your comment in that post, though - something like "I guess WM6 is useless now?"
In the post above you write that you like WM6. You got it on your 8525?

Well the fact that the P3300 will be upgraded and the P3600 won't is disappointing to say the least!
I just came on to say exactly the same thing, surely the Trinity is a much more capable device for WM6, and newer. I think HTC made a bit of a dumb decision there.

- Will other devices be added? Potentially. We’re in constant discussions with our operator partners, and if they’re seeing significant demand from their customers for a specific device then we will always consider it.

My P3600 is not operator branded so I don't see how discussing with operators could give more hopes....
I think the meaning of that sentence is "if Operator X is willing to pay then we will support them to produce their WM6 customised version".

But if a version of WM6 exists, it's easier to adapt it to unbranded devices (I think)

Just sent a mail asking them if they are going to release for p3600 or not.
It really is strange that HTC would release a WM6 upgrade for P3300 and not for P3600. Maybe it has something to do with the GPS? Although I would think it doesn't, since an official upgrade with GPS already came out.
Anyway, the file says it's not the final list of devices that will be able to upgrade. Hopefully, we will see an official WM6 on our Trinity.

My guess is that they spent a lot of resources on getting the much desired ROM update for GPS out that they are putting off the WM6 ROM until later.

I can understand that decision but don't approve it. For the P3300 they don't have a succesor because of the integrated SIRFIII. I don't approve it because my opinion is that the P3600 has been dropped into the market when they knew WM6 was coming too. Just like the PC's sold after november 2006 with Windows XP, you'll get an upgrade for Vista.
They should give us a clean quality WM6 ROM and I'm sure some in this forum can make a much better one from that one
for italian ppl: they should make pressure on TIM...

What is this for cheat? Pay to put your name on a list?????
Send a mail to HTC for free instead.
When they ask you to pay, your name is already added...
I don't give them any cents, and my name is in the list. I checked it just after not havind paid
I send them email yesterday but without reply yet, maybe they don't know either :-D
Hi,now it's sure,the Trinity will not benefit upgrade with the official wm6 rom.For info,read here
Check this out
http://www.dopodasia.com/global/hke/news/20070503_Dopod_WM6_upgrade.html
I 've already read this, but i think it's not for Htc Europe.
I donno where I've read it but I remember that dopod will upgrade the 3600 to wm6
Edit sorry losai already mention it
It's an old news you've got "Marcdu81" (april) !! Maybe the petition will have an effect !!
This is old news man! HTC already stated that if demand was high they would change views. I will not even bother posting the threads, go search yourself. Think before you post!
Sorry guys,but i've Phone to Htc France and they confirm : No wm6 for Trinity : I ask him this question : Why ? I wait again the answer !
I think you can wait a long time for nothing...There is no reason except "marketing" !!

You don't need a ROM from HTC. You can load the Dopod ROM to your device when it is released. If you need a French ROM, I'm sure that someone here will make one from the original Dopod D810 WM6 ROM.
i have an official email from Dopod Australia saying that they will be releasing a WM6 gps version soon (in the next couple of months).

Not quite the same getting your ROM from a company that re-badges these devices. I for one am way too lazy to change everything (boot splash etc) in the upcoming Dopod release to make it exactly like HTC.
I think a boycott of HTC phones is way overdue. Eten anyone?

it has been months. dopod aus never got the wm5 gps rom. i don't know why they are taking so long... probably because customer support doesn't make them money. even o2 was faster in releasing wm6 to atom life (and the support is crap, i've had 2 o2's)
by the time they release wm6 with gps rom, the d810, wm6 and even maybe gps will be obsolete, and we will all have a new device.

I know, but then... that's even more a reason to release it if one of your children companies is about to beat you to it.
Call me picky, but I want all the ROM version information/splash/logos etc all to be HTC.
HTC seems to have some automated response for my questions, even if you ask WHY the trinity ain't on the list of phones expecting an update, they send a link to the press release.
Growing a little tired of HTC lately, they're even removing the infrared port from their trinity-successor, Kaiser. What will I do with my $40 worth of TV remote software? Damn it!

I doubt if Kaiser will be released shortly - It has a Qualcomm chip in it, see http://www.boygeniusreport.com/gallery/handsets/htc-kaiser-unboxing/?pid=668#picture_nav
The US ITC has banned imports on phones with Qualcom chip with immediate effect. See http://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/08/business/08phone-web.html
See below - not listed as product by HTC

Already available for some PPC users, M$ kicked off today @ XDA and got the item removed... Doubt any of the Dash users will see WM6.5 unless someone ports it, as no new ROMs have been officialy produced and not even an official WM6.1...
So we can dream and wait till the Dash 2 and see what we get?
lol @ post above was didn't even read the link

A big difference is that it will be for a different device
I know what the difference is and have run WM6.5 "Hybrid" (Without the new homescreen) on Tilt, it will take someones time to port it so we will see?

True!! But i think that they will going to reallese it on a simular divice!Maybe not... The phone will handle the new wm6.5(if someone ports it) roms im sure!
I have an old qtek 8310 and it runs wm6.1 smooth and yet the model is soo old..
You understand what im trying to say right?
Im a big time noob in windows mobile and HTC i have never had a WM phone before, So my question is, can i get WM 6.5 on my touch pro 2 somehow? seen it on diamon and old touch but haven't seen it on touch pro 2 well besides that youtube video.
It will be offered as a free upgrade, no need to hack.
As fortunz said, HTC will provide a wm6.5 upgrade but no date has been established yet. Once we have the official wm6.5, then are chefs will be cooking up some 6.5 roms as well.

That was a tiny one.
ROM=Read Only Memory. This is a pre-programmed chip in the phone that, among other, also contain the OS. Many other programs and utilities can also be programmed into the ROM.
