I'm sorry, but would you ask your friend if there's any WM5 for HTC Alphine?Again sorry if I have bad english, hope to hear from you.
Thanks a lot before.... -> English
Terima Kasih Banyak -> Indonesian

Sorry to burst bubbles but dont take teh word on the REP. HTC IS NOT Releasing the Upgrade to the Blueangel.

My guess this is a FOR FEE upgrade
A couple of years ago, HP charged $30.00 to upgrade from PPC 2002 to PPC 2003. I see no reason why the carriers wouldn't try the same thing again.
I'd have to imagine that Microsoft is not going to give a new OS away for free (why should they?). They certainly have never done it before.

HTC has never released any rom to the public. This is not part of thier core business.
Its the carriers that give us roms or not as in the case of t.mobile uk which has yet to release the 1.31 wwe rom.
Facts.
We have proof of a wm5 rom through MS video and trade shows.
We have no statements from any carrier that they will upgrade BA to wm5.
We all want the wm5 and most of us will get when our contracts run out and we buy a new device (which is what carriers want)
Pop sorry
Are only how is grab_it and somebody with a BA that has benn loaded with wm5.

well...carriers to the best of my knowledge make no profit from selling these devices. What they want are subscribers.

any reason why you use t-mobile if your a cingular employee being that employees get great discounts on service?
sales reps will feed you anything to be interested in their product, simple as that.

Cingular update no!
I spoke to an engineer at siemens and there will be no 5.0 update but there will be a 1.40 update w/ media player 10

A few months ago, I had the Orange SPV C500 smartphone (I dunno what HTC call it, I forgot)
Anyway, Microsoft were adament that no old Smartphones would get a Media Player 10 update, only newer models. Weeks later, Audiovox started releasing their version of the C500 with MP10 as standard.
Orange Assured us there would be no further ROM updates for u at all.
2 weeks after that, out of the blue, Orange released a ROM update including Media Player 10.
Moral of the story: Microsoft are secretive. They do what they like with little warning. With enough pressure, this update will come. We have evidence that someone has been paid to make this update. I doubt they'll waste it.

this gives me second thoughts on the universal..or may i say a no no
due to the launch price of the universal.... Im eagerly awaiting the
WM5 upgrade

any updates guys

WM5
From my sources...
All WM5 RTM Device ROMS are now tagged to the Device's IMEI.
Hence, a dumped ROM may not be useful after all
Just my 2 cents.....

S620 WM6?

Anyone heard anything more about the WM6 upgrades for the S620 that HTC was supposed to put out in the May/June timeframe? There's not much time left in that "frame" - was hoping to hear something by now. I'd prefer to not have to mess with trying to put the TMo ROM on there.

nop there has been no news at all keep checking this page:
http://www.europe.htc.com/support/software/

It's pretty much July. I'm expecting an update to come out yesterday.

Any other source, other than the website where we could have any more information?

Download link for T-Mobile's WM6 is here:
http://t-mobile.com/wmupgrade/
Comes with some fandango, and more t-mobile... (well, you tell me, i don't know how the HTC wm6 compares)
you can use my number:
2 m 0 r 5 a 5 e 2 r 9 y 7 c 9 e 4 o 0 s

Is it locked to T-mobile?

HTC eClub
Anybody joined the HTC eClub?
I think they are gonna distribute the WM6 that way, since I can't register my Dash there I can't confirm. Can someone with a S620 sign up and see if the update is available now?

htc club
Hi i have joined the club, as i have a HTC s620. There have been no updates as of yet. I will be checking the site most days, so as soon as i hear anything i will post here

No updates other than some audio driver. This is really getting annoying.

Does anyone know if the VoIP feature will be included with this HTC release? (I'm talking about internet calling if nobody knows what I'm talking about.)

September!!!!!!
Below is an email I just got from HTC:
The Windows Mobile 6 update will roll out from June. The provisional date for the S620 is believed to be in September. We have no more accurate information than that and as it is a provisional schedule, it is possible that if any last minute problems are encountered in the final testing phase, it may be delayed.
Thank You for your enquiry. 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/csbyphone.html

It's getting worse now... I just called them again to complain, and they said that the june timeframe reffered to 'information on the upgrade to WM6' and not the upgrade itself... They told me that they expect the update now mid-september....

yeh i know thats why september is in bold in the email above.

Too bad there is no real competition on the market. Otherwise I would switch now. This is pissing the customer in the face.
I really love my S620 it's great hardware but not sure if I can hold out with WM5 too much longer.

S620 upgrade WM6
I called their support line on Tuesday (July 3) and the gentleman on the phone told me to expect the WM6 update around late July. I don't think they know for sure.
If I knew how to clean a rom of all that T-Mobile garbage I'd upgrade to WM6 using the T-Mobile rom.

So, just to amuse myself (and possibly others), I called HTC's hotline again, asking when WM6 comes out for the S620. The gentleman on the phone read me the email that was sent out to the phone support folks about WM6, and it went a little something like this:
"WM6 is a big OS upgrade, and all new HTC devices are using WM6, so basically HTC is tailoring the WM6 upgrades for each of their devices that support the upgrade. The Sprint MDA upgrade for WM6 came out 2 days, however, HTC will be releasing the WM6 upgrade for the S620 at the end of July, but no later than the middle of August."
<sarcasm>
In summary, HTC is aware of our concerns and doesn't contradict themselves.
</sarcasm>

Tell them T-mobile already has released WM6 and since the device is actually made by HTC its absolutely ridiculous that T-mobile can tailor the device quicker than HTC can.
The Cavalier is out this month so I can see alot of people ebaying their S620 and going for the much more powerful S630, probably what HTC are hoping anyway and why they are delaying the update. Furthermore they probably didn't sell as many of the Vox as they would have liked because people realised that the Excalibur/Caviliar form factor is so much nicer.

Yes but the T-Mobile WM6 ROM is crap.
I have it on my Dash. It is full of bugs and memory leaks. I am waiting to HTC to release the S620 WM6 ROM, then I'm going to buy an S620 and ditch my Dash.
Give them time to get it right and not hastily release a buggy ROM.

This is very disappointing. I hope this is not the case with all the said upgrades.

htc is delaying it for 1 reason because they what people to get fed up and by a new phone with wm6 built in. EXAMPLE: htc x7500 which has wm5 and htc x7501 has wm6. now you can already buy the x7501 at CompUSA for $899 just check if you dont believe me. but wm6 upgrade for x7500 won't be out untill september, makes no sense to me

Official T-Mobile(US) WM 6.1 projected release?

Anyone have any info on the projected release of the official T-Mobile(US) Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM available for download from their website?

Just out of curiosity, did you hear they were even planning on releasing an official 6.1 ROM for the DASH?

I know I had inquired about this around April through their "tech Support"... >gasp< >choke< >cough, cough<.... and things didn't look good as far as an update - although I really think they didn't have a clue to what I was talking about or what Windows Mobile was....

lol I got that same vibe from the customer care team! "We have no knowledge of a Windows Mobile 6.1". Like there's some sort of federal figure that'll come from the shadows and abduct them if they utter the words...

It probably depends on just how long tmo-usa is planning to keep selling the DASH. It's been around for a while and they had to put WM6.0 on it because it was still selling fairly well.
I know tmo isn't what it used to be when it comes to putting out hot, new phones and end-of-lifeing older ones, but it just wouldn't seem like a smooth business move for them to put out WM6.1 on such an old phone. After all, they want you to keep buying new ones at contract's end.
Still, it might take a single tmo developer about a day-and-a-half to take one of Kavana's or Ricky's ROMs and brand it for an upgrade

Na it won't be out thats what I heard that 6.1 will not come out for the dash. Also, they plan on discontinuing the dash with the new 3G coming in since the dash is not 3G compatible.

[¿¿??] Manila/Touch Flo upgrade (speculation)

Hi. Supposedly we'll get a Windows Mobile 6.5 upgrade with these phones (ordering mine today but will take a week to get here )
Now, HTC have Manila (Touch Flo) 2.5 and 2.6 in the works as well. Do you think that they'll include the new Manila in their official ROM upgrades?
Now I know HSPL is available. I'm just curious as to whether HTC will be benevolent in this respect as it is good for those who are leery of flashing and I am also guessing that it'd be good if there were customized manilas specifically for our devices for the cooks to play with.
So come on. Let's hear your opinions and Wild Conspiracy theories

I would hope so but if they don't then who cares we'll just get it from here XD.

Windows Mobile 6.5

I have the tp2 for tmobile i would like to know if i can get the official upgrade to 6.5. i know that tmobile doesnt plan on releasing an update anytime soon. so i would like to upgrade maybe to the officail uropean version. if anyone could please provide me a link
thank you

you will need to wait until HTC actually releases their ROM....

spoke to T-Mo USA Tech Support, Thy promise 6.5 upgrade by the end of the year. (I hope)

so much over the excitement of 6.5 being released today
Is there a 6.5 rom from xda that will work with tmobile tp2 with touchflow 3d and the weather icon on the flip clock and not lose my 3g, text, or mms and also not have buggs
Lol I feel like I'm asking for too much
Direct link if possible please......

I think it's only good it takes a while longer. maybe we can have some of the touchflow 3d 2.5 abilities extra when the update comes out. Besides the weather.

ha...remember Tmobile also said that the TP2 was $279.99...then a couple days later they change their minds to $349.99, And they wouldn't even budge for loyal customerssssssss.

Status on Microsoft Web Site for 6.5 update
This URL clearly identifies the Touch Pro 2 as a phone eligible for the 6.5 update but no date available as of yet:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/meet/wm65-upgrade.mspx#phoneList

Yea that list states the tp2 european version is eligible for an update but the tmobile touch pro 2 gets its own update from tmobile and so will other carriers according to the rep I spoke with from the htc hotline I really think that the european version update will come out 1st on the htc website before anyone else

Tmobile has absolutely no info about where they stand on the winmo 6.5 update. So if anyone on the phone says it will happen they are just taking a guess. Tmobile has allowed updates before with devices like the dash but they have really ignored their winmo customers this time around since they are trying to push forward with android. The last minute price change on the TP2, the lack of training for the device, and overall confusion around the product has really screwed up what would have been a good launch. Now that we have the marketplace this is completely going to change what we can do and it will in time compete with android and apple. Also I have talked to tech support many times and I am an internal employee and I am pretty disgusted with how they are dealing with customers who have bought their most expensive device. On a positive note I am very impressed with XDA developers and hope to see the official release so I can finally get the update this device deserves.

the german t-mobile site has the 6.5 update out already. installed it yesterday...

So this update should work on tmobile tp2 usa? And can you provide the link

well i doubt it works in the US and I doubt you would want a german language version hu?
The Update for the german "MDA Vario V" (which is the TP2) is here:
http://www.t-mobile.de/fremdcontent/1,2790,131619,00.html

.... does anyone know if the htc skin in the official 6.5 upgrade will be the same as the sense interface that the HD2 has... with the panoramic kinda view in the pictures tab and all!!?

Well you can change the language but your probably right it probay won't work here
