Hi all,
Is there a compatibility list out yet for which phones are compatible with WM6.5?
Thanks all,
Brian
I do not know about any list.. but - I think all devices which are able to run WinMo 5 (and later) should be able to run WinMo 6.5. I had HTC VOX and it worked...
Cool, where do I get a copy?
Thanks mate,
Brian

yes i know about wm 7. thanks but i´m interested in wm 6.1 because tom is going to release new rom as i heard and i wanted to see some pics of wm 6.1

I am confused as to why the WM 6.1 ROMs people have been providing on this site are so different in look to the WM 6.1 screenshots and features shown above.
Where is the new look in our ROMs?
Where is threaded SMS?
Where are the other features?
There is no big improvements in WM6.1 Threaded SMS is disabled by cookers because it is rather annoying and has many setbacks. Lets wait for WM7

Carty..
Can anyone list what the actual differences are in 6.1?

The "new" look is a today screen on a NON-TOUCH SCREEN windows mobile device.
New things:
Faster file access.
Threaded SMS.
New Task Manager
And just a bunch of fixes here and there.

A big different to 6.0 is that you can do a Domain Enrollment. This is very interesting for big Companys who want to manage there Devices by Servercontrol. Because of that Microsoft developed a product with the name: System Center Mobile Device Manager (SCMDM) wich is released since 1st April. All devices in a company are managed by this environment.
dear guys, i know you are the best in upgrading our smartphones, do you know if there is, or soon will be an upgrade to wm6.1 for s620???
tnx
Not yet.. but I think that soon it will come to S620.
We are all waiting for this update
I actually got to play with a Windows Mobile 6.1 Dash but it still seemed to lag a fair amount. Just had a flashier home screen. Everything seemed to be the same. They added Copy and Paste as well.

Oh man that's great news!!! I am excited. At least that confirms that there is a very high chance we will have to upgrade. Hopefully it will become more stable and not have memory leaks.
Thanks Jamerican....
did you check the new PIE how is it, does it have flash???
How about threaded sms like the PPC version has??
i'm actually really curious about wm6.1 too. I know it's out already, so where are the ROMs at? BTW, does anyone have access to HTC's downloads for the S620-621? When I attempted to register my unit with the serial # at their site, it wouldn't let me since it knew it was T-Mo Dash instead.
EDIT: well a quick search on google yielded this interesting result:
http://www.brighthand.com/default.asp?newsID=13800
I guess that's why we're not seeing any wm6.1 devices anytime soon...
even so, here at xda-developers you can see upgrades to 6.1 for some devices, so i guess we´ll just have to wait a little bit, but its going yo be here i´m sure
Google is your friend. Many websites have covered the new WM6.1 features. Basically it comes out to these:
* Threaded SMS - A Chat like function for your SMS Inbox
* Zoom out in Pocket IE - Enables Page overview mode and better navigation
* One Note included in Office Mobile
* Running Programs tab in Settings > Memory replaced to a better Task Manager. (But the previous running programs tab was much simple and easier)
* A new Managed Programs menu
As you can see, no mention of flash incorporation in PIE. Personally, I won't upgrade until it is as fast as the HTC ROM I'm using now. I am, however, really excited about threaded SMS.
wm6.1 does exist for the dash.
Lets put it this way. People have HTC excalibur running wm6.1. 6.1 adds a new home screen, better IE (much better IE), copy & paste, new version of active sync, etc, etc. WM6.1 is also faster. I'm not sure when this will be avaliable to everyone... but it does exist.
Actually I tried it at a M$ event at my school. The lady said it would take at least 10 months for consumers to see it. That does not include carrier customization etc. Pissed me off.

Yup, i'll vouch for this. I have open touch v3 on my wing and love it. Sometimes i like to go out with my dash since its slimmer and wow its like night and day how slow it is. Even with the new HTC rom that was posted...
Am I missing something here? When did the Wing get a system that isnt released yet? I am confused

WM 6.1 is alive and well on the PPC platform. First batch of WM 6.1 Professional ROMs hit the scene about a week and a half ago and I may be wrong about this but I believe the wing (HTC Herald) was the first to get it from our fine chefs here on XDA-DEV. Still waiting on a 6.1 Standard version for our favorite non-touchscreen devices (HTC Excalibur etc)...
Also don't forget that fortunately/unfortunately the touchscreen devices are way more popular than the non-touchscreen devices.
Personally I believe my T-Mobile Dash running the HTC ship rom is way more stable than any other Windows Mobile device I have ever owned, and I've had quite a few as can be seen in my sig.
Thats interesting, I had no idea!
I don't want to waste time flashing my Dash with a cooked 6.0 ROM (HTC ROM) if 6.1 is only a few weeks away. Any estimate from the ROM cookers on a 6.1 release for the Dash?
Microsoft Is Coming Out With An Official 6.1 Version For The Excalibur Very Soon

You have downloaded it from the Microsoft website?
Well, yea I did. But now it sounds that there is no official 6.1 update for some phones. I don't know, im new to this stuff.
Mh, there is no choice for a download from microsoft. Are you sure you download an update to Windows Mobile 6.1 and NOT to Windows OFFICE Mobile 6.1?
Like here: Microsoft Office Mobile 6.1: Upgrade
Later there will be an update also for the HTC touch but not now...
Hey, what you've downloaded is a smartphone edition. Your HTC Touch requires a Touch-screen version, which is known as the 'Professional' edition eg. WM 6.1 Professional. You should go to the 'Elf' section in this forum instead of this. This section is for users who do not possess a HTC-built Windows Mobile devices.

so an HTC touch is not made by HTC?
=p
no, this section. its in general discussion and is called unlocking modifying and upgrading. its for like dell, asus and other makers who arent htc, but need somewhere to mode and post their roms. i wold head here if i were you
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=366424
and if your touch has 128mb ram, its called an elfin, and if it has 64, its called an elf. its very important u dont get them mixed up.
the amount of ram you have can be found by going to settings, then the system tab then device information
Hope ive helped
and remember to use the search button in the top left.

well ... not sure about this stage.. ms is stating, that wm6.5 will finally go public in feb..
there's no proof that wm6.5 will run on our trinitys.. it was already hard work to get wm6.1 run on it and i guess if stuff like drivers and more are different from our device, wm6.5 probably wont ever run on trinity ... without promising, but there are already ppl trying to get 6.5 to run on their devices, so i guess if we have a hermes or kaiser with 6.5 there wont be a that hard way to get i run on trinity.
but if you compare xp to vista, i guess 6.5 will need more ram than 6.1 - so that might be another issue to adress to..
i don't know if any cook has already started experimenting on wm6.5 .. i guess its not a good idea to start at this stage or wait for the final..

Hi all,
Can anyone tell me will I be able to upgrade my TP2 to windows mobile 6.5 when it comes out? How do you go about doing this (new to winmob)? Is it just like installing a new OS on a PC?
Thankyou for your time.
OK ok so I finally found something. The answer seems to be yes with the TP2, a free upgrade from HTC to 6.5.
