Htc 6800 Wm6?

Hello,
I just picked up an HTC 6800 unit branded the P4000 from Telus. It came with WM5 and I would like to load WM6 on it. I've been reading lots around here trying to get all the tools and information I need to move forward but more than anything I'm nervous that I will brick my phone. I know my phone is very new and I'm not sure if these tools will work on my model or not?
From what I understand I need to use the CID Unlock to allow me to upgrade my ROM and Radio for WM6.
I think with a little trial and error that I have enough knowledge to get this working it's just like I said I'm not sure if these tools will work on my phone.
Can someone please tell me if this will work or give me some links to other posts that might help.
Thanks in advance for everyones help,
Dave

DO NOT UPGRADE with WM6 in this forum! the phone you have is the Herald which is not the same as the Hermes. If I am right yours has a 200mhz chip and the keyboard slides out to the right. If you upgrade with the Hermes WM6 it will brick your device.

Do some searches, and you'll find your answer. 6.5 ROMS for this phone have been available for a long time.
Am I correct that 6.5 is the windows operating system? if so I need a limk to get the updated operating system I have done countless searches
or am I just an idiot and all these 6.5 roms will work on windows 6.0??

All roms in this forum are wm 6.5.
so back to my first question can someone provide a link to get wm 6.5 on touch vogue or is that not do-able??
It is very do-able and you are already on the right page for it. Any post with more than 100 replies most likely contains a 6.5 Rom for the HTC Touch.
Flash at your own risk.
@OP
Since we are in the talks over pm, I will close this thread. Don not post new threads with questions in the development section. If you must ask, use the Q&A thread.
I sent you a pm not too long ago too.
At all the others who replied:
If you guys don't feel like pointing the OP to an answer (or if you don't know it yourselves), please refrain from posting. Posts like "go and search" do not help anyone at all, and it makes you look bullish.
