When will Dash ship with WM6?

Does anyone know when the Dash with WM6 preinstalled will be available from T-Mobile?
(Currently an MDA user. Thinking of getting a Dash due to lighter weight, thinner, and phone buttons. I might as well wait until they come with WM6 preinstalled. I might also wait until I find a good deal for upgrading to the Dash. (My T-Mo contract has expired.) )

Good question, I would love to know that too. I thought the WM6 ROM was going to be released in late March but that never happened. Looks more like May now. Most likely they are still working out the bugs...

Any time now

I disagree with this statement. My T-Mobile Business Account Team told me wm6 on the Dash is slated for early May 2007. They apparently already have a final build of the ROM and are ramping up device stock in preparation for the first WM6 device to hit the market.
As with all carrier related news, believe it when you see it, but I feel it is not far off now.

according to european wholesale suppliers (dangaard and brightpoint)
it's not I wish to kill the good spirit, I just fw the intel, but also hope it'll be quick

Dash WM6 Official Release
I spoke with an engineer at T-Mobile, and the official release is tentatively set for the week of 5/4. This is just for the ROM upgrade, not for the Dash preloaded with WM6.

Yep, that's what I was told.

From jumpin from forum to forum I read that it would possibly be May 4 but this is only what was said from others.

WM6 for the Dash is now available
I just downloaded it from T-Mobile's website. Just login to your account and go to support, downloads.

8925 (AT&T Flip) is on the way

A coworker and I just got 8525's about 1 month ago....we finally complained loud enough to our AT&T rep and he is going to wave the 30 day return policy and take our old 8525's back and give us the new 8925's. Hopefully it'll be a good upgrade for us.
My main problem is we've already up graded to WM6. Should I "downgrade" to WM5 since that's what they came with our not worry about. I have not told him yet that we upgraded our phones but I also don't want to upset him since he is offering good customer support/service.
thanks,
Paul

its called the tilt not the flip. and no u dont have to downgrade because wm6 is out for the 8525...

True but I'd suggest installing the Official AT&T ROM....

very good point.. i overlooked that. on a sad note, this may be my last post in the hermes forum due to the fact that my baby boy tilt will be arriving tuesday or wensday!
(got it thru XBM ..they are now exchanging 8525s for 8925s if u've had 3 or more 8525s)

XBM? Gotta link?

XBM = Xchange By Mail, it is the warranty replacement department.

yes, and after 3 8525s u have the option to change to a different make a model. i pushed for the tilt saying its the most compitable with the 8525 they offered a 750v but i kept insisting on a tilt so they finally gave in.

great job on achieving the update! I bought my imate jasjam overseas so no update for me
i'm considering trading it in on importgsm.com but i'm not sure if i'll get more for it from them or wait till i head back to the middle east in december.
enjoy the kaiser! i can't wait till i get my hands on one for myself!

Thanks folks....Since I did not backup this unit before installing WM6, can anyone tell me which ROM I need to install so it'll be "factory fresh".
thanks again!

I think there is one still out there on the HTC website. I recently ordered a Tilt as well and should be coming in Wednesday.
Here is the link to download the Official WM6 download. I can't see why ATT would have problem exchanging it if it had the official WM6 release.
http://download.america.htc.com/RUU...502.3_6275_1.54.07.00_108_UOOS_SVN05_Ship.exe

It's not the official WM6 release. It's some cooked one that I found on this site...Last night I dl'ed RUU_Hermes_CINGULAR_WWE_2_1_.15.502.3_6275_1.40.30.00_108_Ship
I'm hoping this is the right one. I'm kind of a newbie and I really don't want to brick this 8525 before I send it back.

8925 Exchange is real!
I co-sign Jakeypoo 100 percent! Today I called AT&T and complained about my 8525. Well, it's been my 3rd warranty exchange device and all I told the lady is that the problem I've been having is a chronic issue and that I would like a difference device. She put me on hold, then got back on the line and offered a Motorola Q, The Treo 750, and the 8925 as options. Of course I chose the 8925. They are sending me a brand new full kit too! To think I almost bought one three week ago too? The new device should be here on Friday so advice to you guys, if you've had a couple warranty replacements, call in and get your new Tilts!

Ok no my Q is After we make a Sprite Back Up
Wht if i Loose my Phone, But have saved the Sprite backed up from my Storage card on my PC in a Folder
So if damged or Lose my phone, wil Buy a NEW
If i put my Sprite Backup in a NEW Tilt phone & restore it,
will it make it Just like my OLD phone ?

Upgraded Dash WM 6.1 warrenty issues?

Hello All!
I havn't modified phones in over a year, the last few that I did where motorola razr and slider versions. I recently jumped into these forums and updated my Dash to WM 6.1 and really like it. My dash developed an issue yesterday, the ear piece has some sort of feedback in it, kind of makes everything sound a little fuzzy -- I can still hear people, but it's annoying. Now that i've upgraded to a Kavana ROM, is T-mobile going to give me crap about replacing the phone (its only 6 months old)? Or is this rectified by reflashing with an official T-mobile WM 6 rom from the offical ROMS thread (or can you not go backwards?)?
Thanks in advance!

Also as a note, I'm fairly sure this is a hardware issue in the Dash's earpiece not something software related from the actual upgraded to Kavana WM 6.1 080330.

have a knew tp2 ...can i get 6.5 installed by tmobile

i just purchased my tp2 it came with 6.1 ...now ive been reading
about differant roms you can install...now im clueless to all this can i get tmobile to install 6.5 on my phone..i keep reading how to do it but it seems so difficult

You can get a cooked rom with 6.5 (or even 6.5.3), but that's if you want to void your warrenty.
If you don't want to void your warrenty, and not in a rush, you can wait till Janauray 6th, supposedly T-mobile is supposed to be released their 6.5 update for the Dash 3G and TP2 on that day.
Let's hope that it's true.

will the update install automatically ...

6.5 is a totally diff ROm and cannot be installed ota. I'm sure they will give step by step instructions as for what to do and where to get it. If the above post is tru then it's only a 2 week wait. no sweat.

Here's where T-Mobile (USA) has offered previous upgrades to previous Windows Mobile phones:
Windows Mobile Upgrade
So seems like it'll appear there....and direct from HTC on their page for the T-Mo TP2.

When I went to purchase my TP2 at a tmobile store in November, they had a displayed TP2 running on 6.5. I asked if mines come with 6.5 and they said no, but they said that I should be able to upgrade it by early December. Now it seems that I will have to wait a couple or perhaps a few more weeks again (if nothing gets delayed). By the time the official 6.5 upgrade is out, I hear that winmobile 7 is already making its way out sometime early in 2010. Knowing that, I no longer want to wait for the official release of 6.5 and would just rather installed an unofficial released instead, but like Rickmasta said, it will void the warranty on the phone and the TP2 is a really pricey phone.

As long as you flash back to stock and then reset the HSPL then your warranty will be fine....

will i have to install the knew 6.5 from the tmobile site ....and what are the pros/cons vs 6.1

You can install a cooked ROM 6.5 that is much better than any official one!
Have a look here to learn how to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550540
Pros: 6.5 more finger friendly, better UI, newest
Cons: 6.5 much more RAM hungry than 6.1 but with proper tweaking that will not be a prob
Good luck,
and don´t forget to vote!

Phones by/for Sprint and Verizon networks are CDMA devices -- it's the kind of cell-radio/band/system they use (something like that).
In the USA, T-Mobile and ATT are GSM networks -- this is what your T-Mobile phone works with.

That's interesting. A TP2 with WM6.5 loaded on it, displayed in a T-Mobile store, even before they released the official ROM to the T-Mobile crowd.
I think I may have read somewhere (I don't recall exactly where) that WM7 will be delayed to mid-late 2010. However, knowing XDA, we'll probably see some WM7 ROMs early in the new year.

ahem...ahem...*cough* Pictorial on how to flash *cough* ahem...ahem...
In the link, there's a link on installing HardSPL.
Since the majority of the ROMs here are intendend for the WWE Unlocked version of th TP2, you will need some fixes, which you can find here (if you have different carrier-modified TP2, like the T-Mobile or the Tilt2).

boy have given me hope wingster if very helpfull with the install
thanks sumflipnol

Do current T-Mobile Touch Pro2 come with 6.1 or 6.5 factory installed

I just bought a supposedly new T-Mobile Touch Pro2 and I have my doubts that it is new. One of the clues that bothers me is that it has WM 6.5 preinstalled while the documentation shows a 6.1 screen. I am trying to decide whether to pursue a complaint with eBay as I feel I paid a reasonable amount for a brand new device, but I am not sure that it was a fair price for a used phone. The seller has admitted that the supposedly "sealed" unit was indeed used, but only for 10-15 minutes. But then there is the WM6.5 installed. Are they preinstalling 6.5 now? Thanks.

I believe WM 6.5 is coming pre-installed. T-Mo came out with an update recently.
http://thewingster.com/tp2officialwm65.aspx

Yes, Tmo is advertising now that they come with 6.5 out of the box. However, it's not really easy to tell if your supplier had access to the newer stock or not...?

Played with one in the store and they're def comming with 6.5 now. Although, I prefer 6.1.

Thanks. I was surprised to say the least that 6.5 was installed. I am not sure which I like better, but I will leave it as is until the SOD problems are solved in the 6.5.3 roms. Then I may try flashing something newer.
