Hi All,
Just spoke to my Vodafone corporate account manager, and he tells me that the AKU2 update will be available for the v1640 within the month.
When it's out, you will be able to download it from:
http://www.vodafone.co.uk/dataworld
Bagpuss.
i've been reliably informed that its due tomorrow
oh and the HTC Hermes is due June 06
I just wish that release dates on these sort of things were even half way reliable.
nice one! At last I will be able to run the latest rom on my universal and it be a Vodafone branded one too! Ive never known vodafone to release firmwares for there htc handsets so this will be a first!

i know. vodafone are really really bad at this kind of thing. if you want a Blackberry, they'll bend over backwards. but Windows Mobile? "erm, its not on our list, sorry"
anyhoo, moan over. i've been told that the update should appear on this website: http://www.vodafone-dataworld.co.uk/default.aspx?pageId=21. at the moment, theres only a Blackberry update there (oh the irony)
Finally the waiting is over
http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2009/09/18/at-to-launch-the-tilt-2-on-october-6th-coincidence/
Updated and now says the Oct 18th
http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2009/09/18/at-to-launch-the-tilt-2-on-october-18th/
now the ATT bashing should calm down...when this release with 6.5 out of the box and only gsm with 3.5 jack then we gonna be see some envy look from tmobile and international versioin...worth the wait
It has not been confirmed whether the AT&T version has a 3.5mm jack or not. I can't believe that whoever took that spy picture didn't think of taking a picture of the bottom! This could have been cleared up a month ago!
The waiting won't be over until that device is in my grubby mitts With so many rumored dates already floating around its hard to get excited about this, even if it was posted on BGR.
Edit: Wait, the 18th? Is Sunday a typical day for device releases?
YES!!!!

You aint the only 1...I hope they launch this phone already...I mean spl is ready so I will have ATT rom on it for ole...3 minutes just enough time to flash spl and flash latest NRG Rom
My question is whether the 2-year-contract price will be closer to Verizon ($200) or TMobile ($349)...
My question is, how soon til the HTC Leo will be offered by AT&T? I've been free of my contract since this past June and have been waiting for the Tilt 2, but after seeing the HTC Leo, I wish I could get a possible release date for that to see if it would be worth the wait. I understand it doesn't have a keyboard, but with a screen like that, don't really need one. http://ai.rs/2009/09/htc-leo/ and http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/...ate-is-capacitive-pictured-from-ba/#continued

Well, judging by the TP2 (announced in Feb. 09' to launch on AT&T Oct. 09') I would say about 8-9 months after it is announced at the earliest. And that's if AT&T decides to subsidize it. Personally, I'm sticking with TP2 since I have already been waiting 8 months for it to come to AT&T.

I agree with AT&T's lack of effort to push anything that doesn't begin with the letter I and end with phone. However, the HTC Leo is further along, than the Touch Pro 2 is, when we first heard about it. There's already video of the phone being shown with WM 6.5, a gallery of pics, and detailed specs with a much better snapdragon processor. I've got to believe this phone could be available before Christmas, if not somewhere in Q1 2010. I just want to guard against purchasing the Tilt 2, which I've been waiting for the past 6 months, and all of a sudden 2 months later, this phone comes out- which clearly has much better specs all the way around.

Seeing as the HTC Leo hasn't hit the FCC yet (that we know of), it has next to 0% chance of being released this year in the US. At earliest I would guess early Spring 2010.
Who knows if AT&T will even release the Leo. Did you see how insanely fast that was? Almost nothing took longer than 1 second to open! Nearly everything was instant! After 3 years of the MSM7200, we can FINALLY have a decent processor. Windows Mobile will stop getting a bad rep due to the MSM7200 garbage 90% of the WinMo phones have been using.
I just talked to a few rep's in the Portland OR area and they are also saying mid October as a release for the "Tilt 2".
Release date same for entire US?
When ATT releases their phones, is the release date the same for the enitre US? The reason being is that I live in Hawaii and I don't know if that will affect the actual release date. I'd really like to know because when that day comes I'm going to be there first thing and I don't want to receive any blank stares.

Your best bet is to call your store once the date is official and find out what they say. My guess would be its nationwide.
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.
boy i would love do one of cooked roms ...but i wish there was a video step by step ...because im not that savvy with all the technical jargon...if it had it screen for sreen boy that would help so much ...but for now ill go with the tmobile upgrade

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
New to forums but love the advice. On the windows mobile website, it shows that touch pro 2 for tmobile is expecting a release in march. Is that just a typo?

was it released w/ sense 2.5? VZW is getting theirs tested right now, maybe its a new version w/ sense 2.5
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=641112
It was not released with Sense 2.5. It has 2.1 still. And unless there is a newer update coming, that was the last one that will happen.

that is what I was saying, verizon is now testing a new rom with sense 2.5. the latest vzw rom is sense 2.1
They just released an update 1.5 months ago. Why would they release another? I just don't see it happening. Verizon never released an update.
yea we did....beginning of January I believe.

well they originally quoted october/november for the first update and it came out in march, so it is possible they put out a date they could never obtain again and make us wait on the edge of our seats for it.
I'd like to know where he got this date. I watch 3 different websites religiously, and I haven't seen ANYTHING about this.
sorry bout that, i was refering to the update. I saw the info on microsofts windows mobile page. at the bottom there's a link that says updating your phone. the chart says march 2010 for tmobile touch pro 2. and it says it the chart was last updated jan 28, 2010

I don't remember the exact date it came out, but it was real close to that date. Also, it says that the dates are subject to change. Not to mention, it doesn't even list the WM6.5 update that was released. So, I would suffice to say that this is out of date info.

Nope. Those are HTC Official roms. This would be T-Mobile specific. Officially, those roms are not compatible with non-HTC branded devices.
I was in a SPRINT store and was talking with one of the tech's about an issue with the Calendar, and he was saying that a friend of his is an official tester for the new Windows Mobile 6.5.5 and it should be released by the end of March. I just hope that he was right. Shortly after he had told me this information, he was fired for telling me and one other person this. My wife wanted and needed to upgrade her phone, so now we both have TP2's. and when Windows Mobile 6.5.5 is released, we will both be upgrading. I will be holding on for the HTC HD3. That is from my perspective, a great phone with great specs.

Wow! That's rather severe!
I hope you tipped him generously.
AT&T begins Mango update program September 27th. Full details.
For all of you on AT&T and awaiting Mango, we have some big news for you, so grab yourself a seat, because you're hearing it here first. Looks like that earlier info about "being on time" was accurate.
We just received a series of emails exchanged between some higher ups at AT&T and an anonymous source (the source is anonymous to you, but known and verified by us). The emails give, in detail, AT&Ts plans for their Mango updates, including schedule according to device. The original emails are attached as images with all names and times redacted.
In short, here is the plan. "Starting September 27, 2011, Microsoft has approved and is planning to release a new “Mango” update to AT&T customers using..."
HTC Surround (SKU 65212)
LG Quantum (SKU 65205)
Samsung Focus (SKU 65203) [More on this below]
"A subsequent release is projected to be available for customers with the HTC HD7S (SKU 65255) in early to mid October. A subsequent advisory will be provided for the HTC HD7S after the MR update has successfully passed TA."
The update requires two steps: download new Zune software and plug in your phone.
Now the bad news. The Samsung Focus is still divided into two camps, depending on the hardware revision. Revision v1.3 will get the update on 9/27 while v1.4 will have to wait till end of October:
The Samsung team came back an provided this information about WINDOWS 7.5 for the Samsung Focus devices.
rev 1.3(Micron): Windows 7.5 update will be available through Zune on 9/27.
rev 1.4(LSI) : Update has not entered the AT&T SPE lab yet; however, Samsung is targeting for 10/17 lab entry and 10/31 TA
So there you go folks. The only thing missing from the above is the Dell Venue Pro, but we're under the impression that Dell will handle that directly. More info as it comes in. And thanks to our tipster for the excellent information and timely communication! Full emails after the break...

yeah, well, if it turns out to be true. This will prove that I was right that MS is not holding back Mango so they can roll it out to all devices/carriers/oems together as people have been saying.
So I have to wait till first or mid October since I have a hd7s

I know that AT&T isn't a "bad" company. I was an AT&T employee for 10 years. But in the wireless market, they have always been somewhat clueless about what makes good customer service.
This is a welcome surprise for me, and I can't wait until next Tuesday.
Hey, AT&T werent last (Australia's Telstra was 2nd last), so I was <i>more</i> shocked when Telstra was waiting for MS' approval to push Mango 0_o
If you de-branded, dont forget to re-brand to ensure you get the update. If you use the LG Quantum, check this link. I provided the instructions incase you forgot... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1273826
What about non-branded phones. I remember MS was saying those devices are getting updates first, so does it mean we should get it before 27/9?
This is excellent need and shows att holding true to their statement about being the first to update. Hopefully Samsungs don't run into any snags likelast time. Can't wait to finally get mango.
