Windows Mobile 2006

I read on T3 Magazine, they said WM06 device will be avaiable aroun January 2007. Anyone know if this roumor is true or not?

WM6?
As far as I know CE6 isn't out yet and WM version usually follows several month later.
Could you post a link or is this a printed article?

This is printed version from indonesian magazine... Mmmm... i'll check this out

Maybe they were talking about Crossbow?
It's suppose to be WM5 SE as far as I know but they could have made a mistake.

WM6 devices would appear in 2008 according to the info captured by google cache. These idiots were writing about crossbow which is WM5.2 (or WM5 second edition, or whatever name MS would choose), and would be available in early 2007.
And don't confuse WM6 with CE6. Windows Mobile 6 would be based on CE 6.0 kernel, like Winmobile 5 is based on WinCE 5.0. But they would have different user interface, changed kernel, etc.

HTC Universal (PU10, SuperCID)
ROM: <waiting for crossbow>
Radio: 1.14
It means something is there...when we will get a crossbow...

Will we see WM6 for HTC Trinity ?!

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

official wm6 includes office 2007?

I dont see any reference to it in the pdf that describes it.
anyone know?
/f

Please read the Wiki. Official WM6 ROM release doesn't come with Office2007. There maybe hope in the Europe WWE release, but doubtful.
Microsoft is planning to offically release Office2007 this fall sometime as a free upgrade to WM6 users, so I've read. If this has changed, then correct me.

Sounds reasonable - they have to use the Windows Update Util for something after all
Smiffy.

thank you
sorry, I should have tried to read the wiki first

I am on Dopod latest WM6 rom and I amable to open docx files no problem?? does it mean that it is 2007 ??

Click to expand...

If you open docx and xlsx, the answer is Yes. Probably you ROm was filled with the Office Mobile 2007 appz.

Well it is standard Official DOPOD WM 6 ROM. The only thing I have installed is OneNote Mobile... From One Note App on my Lappy.

Many cooked ROMs come with Office2007. Satin does (minus OneNote, which can be installed separately).
I'm pretty impressed with O2K7. PowerPoint is particularly good. It renders presentations very well indeed, including transitions.

Go get it
http://rapidshare.com/files/46408789/RUU_Hermes_O2_UK_3.54.206.1_6275_1.47.00.00_108_Ship.exe

I think the wiki needs to be updated then. The dopod rom (and my flavor of it) have Office 2007 apps.

Lordsmiff!
Thanx...
Have you got any comments on the ROM ?? maybe some screenshots ?? vbmenu_register("postmenu_1409703", true);

I don't know if I'm gonna flash it yet - been a serial flasher but I'm happy at the mo with black satin
I'll probably give it a run tomorrow
Smiffy.

Here is the CAB I used for my Onenote...

I was under the impression that no released version of Office 2007 Mobile has the ability to open .%%%x documents yet, and that this would be available as a downloadable update in the fall.. I read that on Jason Landridge's blog.
The version of Office 2007 Mobile that comes in the Treo 750 WM6 ROM definitely cannot open .docx, xlsx, etc.

My DOPOD ROM I looked in the WORD Mobile Settings and I see that the default template is set to .docx so I guess it does open *.%%%X files, plus I have tryed to open docx and xlsx files and no problem

Official HTC wm6 also includes Office 2007, minus outlook :-(
So you get: Powerpoint, Word and Excel.
Outlook is the old one and OneNote can be installed from pc if you have Onenote on it.

one note mobile cab in english
does any1 have the onenote mobile cab in english?

wm 6.1 on cavalier

Hi all!
I've seen many threads about installing wm 6.1 on different devices.
Had anybody tried it with cavalier?
It seems that Excalibur version of wm 6.1 should be compatible with Cavalier.
Anybody has an experience before I start to rape my own device?
Thanks a lot!

If you try Excalibur WM6.1, you'll end up with an expensive brick!
Cheers

This is really sad the the Cavalier is the better device than the Excalibur, yet we have no 6.1 Rom. I know there are a million more dashes out there, but how hard would it be for someone to move the 6.1 Rom on the Excalibur board over to the Cavalier?

We want WM6.1
Come on all the great ROM developers- lets get WM6.1 for this great device.Any help much appreciated.

Yes please! I'd love to see WM6.1 on my S630.

WM6.1
Still nothing eh? Come on you guys- even Vox has WM6.1 on it now......

First of all, to get WM6.1 on our Cavaliers we need to buypass CID lock, which for the moment we can't do as there's no sspl or whatever for Cavalier!
Second, after the first part is done, we need to port WM6.1 to Cavalier which is not easy so basicly we need a developer who has in its possession a HTC Cavalier!
Cheers

Wow, i can't believe there's not even a hint of development yet. There's got to be some good developer out there who can cook a 6.1 rom for us!

Current problem is CID unlock.only SuperCID can flashing!!

Uniwersal downgrade to WM 2003 ?

It's like going back to windows 95 in your computer....
Uni came in with wm5 so you can not go before that, and there is no wm2003 roms for uni so NO...

Yea, Why do you want to downgrade from wm5/6/6.1/6.5/6.5.1?

Cause everyone says, that Win 2003 was the best of Windows Mobile ever. So I want to try it

Haha, everyone who?
Yes, it was the best Windows Mobile ever....6 years ago.

yeah, but look
WM 5 was the slowest
WM 6 was qiute good, 6.1 too
WM 6.5 well......
And now I want try WM 2003 on my Uniwersal, cause for exemple 2003 for BlueAngel, as everyone says, is the best

Or maybe there is a Win CE for uniwersal?

i don't mean to bump this, however this needs to be said.
i wish there was a wm2003 for the universal. or at least a clean working vga wm5.
I got a universal a few days ago, i slapped wm6 realvga on it. res was great, loved it. speed? i couldnt even answer a phone call. Thats how slow WM6+ is. changing screen orientation caused me to miss phone calls. I've since downgraded to swat4's wm5, which lacks vga but overall is much much faster lmfao.
so.
wm2003(entire OS in ram, how can it not be faster?)>wm5>wm6.0>wm6.1>wm6.5.
if only i could figure out how to use ramfilesystem for wm5. that'd be fantastic.

Dpends which WM6 you use. Most of us have found a version we love and runs extremely fast, and would only revert to WM5 if we needed Video Call.
On that subject, I see fring is doing video call. It would be good if that comes over to WM devices

Just until recently I had HP hw6515 the beetle with 64 mb ram, PXA270 312 MHz and WM2003SE. And it was not better at all. The delay and lag was awful when you were about to receive call while doing something else, surfing for example. The only advantage was the old memory allocation where you could just slide the bar and decide what amount will be available for programs and what for storage.
I wouldnt trade id for WM6 or even 5.

WM5 was slower than WM2003 for other reasons than just the OS. This was when the WM platform switched from NOR to NAND flash chips. NOR is faster and allows programs to be executed directly without copying to RAM first. NAND flash operates more like disk and programs have to be copied to RAM before execution. This slows down the OS. NAND has other advantages though (cost, life expectancy).

hmm interesting
wm 2003 in this uni

Oh i'm also interested in the wm2003 - from the pictures, there should be an official wm2003 rom for the UNI but not available to the public...the article also mentionned 128 MB of RAM...Rom it should have said I guess.

I miss my old PDA2's system. it would be great to have it back on this Uni.
