First post here, long time lurker and TP2 owner.
Just wondering, anyone know if HTC are planning on official updates for the TP2 to WiMo 6.5 (and maybe an updated version of manilla??)
Not a problem if the only version is a cooked ROM, happy enough to flash once the "final" build of 6.5 hits the Kitchens.
TIA
HTC plans to launch WM6.5 on Oct 6, 2009.
Can we expect to see WM 6.5 versions of Tmo, Sprint, and Verizon, or will they always come with 6.1 initially leaving the upgrade to the consumer?
Im really looking forward for the final 6.5... wanna see manila 2.5 from htc too.
It is presumed to contain 2.1, isn't it?

Hello,
where can I get the release of beta version of wm6 the s620 Mobile. thanks
If it was available you would know it.
When the ROM becomes available, you won't have to search for it.
Some guys has the chance to test the beta release of WM6 with a HTC s620.

Should be released before July 07, I think T-MObile may hang off until they start selling the HTC S320/T-Mobile Dash with WM6 preloaded. But i could be wrong...we'll just have to wait a few months and see
I was in Dallas today at the Vista launch and actually saw and touched an HTC Excalibur running WM6 ... owned/demonstrated by the microsoft mobile specialist who also had the new Palm treo 750w
before 07 what are you talking about ,thats crazy i am pretty sure it will be sooner!!!!!!

They wont release the ROM update until new devices start coming pre-loaded with WM6, that way they will be able to trick a few people into buying new devices
Is there any windows 6.1 upgrade officially for hermes???
Upgrade for HTC Hermes
From this page: http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/01/microsoft-announces-windows-mobile-6-1-device-upgrades/
I'd say no.
There's mention of (among others) the TyTN II and Touch getting upgrades, though
I doubt we'll ever see an official one, but leave it to the cooks to make some badass WM6.1 roms
It would really be cool if anyone can cook a new WM6.1 Rom
here is what's on google tech...

I'm surprised that ATT released WM6 ROM for the 8525 when the Tilt was being sold.
It is sad that ATT is not going to support the Hermes anymore.
Also does anyone know when 6.1 Pro is being release, so far its been the Standard version.

QUE?
Every spec I look at for the T-Mobile TP2 it says it will have WM6.5 when it drops is that true? I looked at the spec for the other carriers for TP2 and they all say 6.1.
Just need someone who knows these things well to confirm because I read WM6.5 doesn't drop until this fall to around christmas time.
Thanks!
Someone has to know something!
It is WM6.5 Ready...
Most likely you will have to Buy the OS at additional cost.
The good old Orange day's where they did know what service was are over and done since T-Moblie acquired Orange.
But with a HardSPL (hopefully soon) who cares, just flash any ROM you like.
Why do I have to buy the OS if it comes with it?
It will launch (Aug 12th) with 6.1, but once MS releases 6.5 you will be able to upgrade to 6.5. What is unknown is whether T-mo will provide that update or if we are going to have to get the update from HTC. I highly doubt we will have to pay for it either. Kinda like when tmo provided an update to win mo 6.1. it was free.
T-Mobile Netherlands will provide the WM6.5 upgrade for free. It says so in my contract and manual. Too bad T-Mo is always way behind when HTC provides upgrades. On the other hand... i'm not welcoming 6.5 with open arms. I rather have a speedy 6.1 ROM for my Rhodium. 6.5 or HardSPL... i go for the latter.
Alright thanks for clearing that up. But I rather have WM6.5!!!
Question!
WindowsPhone is WM6.5 or WM7? Is their even a 7?
There is no WM7 yet, but there supposed to be one sometime in 2010!
Is their a release date for the official WM6.5? I saw a video on WM 6.5 where the guy said it will be released around Christmas time.
The guy was doing a demo on what looks like the final version of WM6.5 with the HTC Diamond 2 I think it was. Anyone seen that video? (He had his legs crossed through out the whole video with blue jeans.) Lol
I'm at work and I'm restricted to certain sites so youtube is a no no.
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.
Ive heard its out (officially) and ive been seeing themes and such for it. Should we be upgrading our TP2? I know were suppose to get a free upgrade from 6.1, but not sure how i would get that. Ive tried to update though Windows Update on my device, but it never can get a connection (weird)
Where have you heard it's officially released? Last I heard it was early next month.
There are leaked copies around and the chefs are cooking 6.5 ROMs. I'd expect the official (free) upgrade to go up on the HTC site some days / weeks after the official release, when the carriers will release their versions is down to them

6.5 is going to be released officially on October 6th. When the carriers release their own version, it will most definitely be after that date. Also, Microsoft has not once used Windows update for WM, and they won't use it to upgrade you from 6.1.

so its pretty pointless to even check for updates on that hua.. fair enough.. and i didnt think they would send 6.5 though the update, just thought id check.
And it was porly the leaked roms i found stuff on.
Ahh yea,, Oct6. missed the date on it.
Windows Mobile 6.5 and Marketplace Available Oct 6
It's also been stated that HTC plans on releasing their update on that same date. Meaning that you can upgrade your unlocked/unbranded phone then. One of the advantages of not having waited for the local carriers to release their version. You don't have to wait for them to release their update either

Any links where HTC has mentioned it that they intend to release it on 6th oct for everyone? i am really looking forward for it
Anyone here have a 6.5 ROM that can compare differences with 6.1? I've used 6.5 briefly on a Tilt and I'm not really seeing the benefit besides the bigger icons. TouchFlo with 6.1 on my TP2 seems to be fine to me. 6.5 seems to be a little cumbersom. What's the real benefit of 6.5 anyway? I think I'll skip and wait for 7.
