So I have an HTC touch pro2 bought from the middle east. i've gone to the htc mea page, but there are no updates concerning winmo6.5. Also, if i try using htc europe or uk, it says this update not suitabe for my device.
so, where can i get winmo 6.5 for my device? what country should i pick?
also, are there any risks involved?
fyi, i only use english on my phone.
any help is appreciated guys
i've emailed htc mea, and it seems they'll be releasing 6.5 very soon:
Thank you for contacting HTC Corporation Middle East Support,
Regarding to your inquiry, kindly be informed that we still waiting for the final Ver. from Microsoft very soon, so please check our official website www.ht.com/mea-en/ for launching date, it will be worth waiting.

Don't know if this is old news here, but I just came across a news that tells about O2 Germany releasing an official WM 6 upgrade. I assume it will be for free.
The news:
http://www.onlinekosten.de/news/artikel/25536/0/XDA_Orbit_und_Trion:_o2_spendiert_Windows_Mobile_6
And the future download page:
http://www.o2online.de/nw/support/downloads/software/xda/xdatrion/index.html
Does anyone know how far I might be able to use O2 updates with my unbranded htc device with another provider? I'd say don't care, but O2's providing that home zone stuff my provider doesn't
Don't have much experience with updating my Hermes.
i hope ONE austria will do this too, or ill leave them.

I asked them some weeks ago, the answer was "WM6? Theres a new WM out?". And this was a technician from the tech hotline........ But I'm fine with the Roms on this site, no need to have all the ONE stuff in the extrom.
BTW: Did you manage UMTS to work? I only have GPRS access.
Today I also read in a printed computer magazine (C't who knows) that HTC will be releasing a free upgrade in June. According to that article on downloads.europe.htc.com, but I can't find anything usefull there yet. Let's hope for the best.
bah.. ooopopopopops
Good afternoon Paul,
Thank you for your email.
O2-UK are currently testing the Windows Mobile 6 upgrade and until this has passed all tests then unfortunately we will not be able to advise you when the upgrade will be released.
We are also unable to advise of features involved in this upgrade as this may be subject to change, dependant upon the tests.
If you have any further problems, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Kind Regards

Subject: o2 xda orbit upgrade for windows mobile 6.0
Hi, I am emailing due the release of the WM6.0 rom released via o2 Germany, and I was wondering when o2-uk will be offering the same.
I am eagerly awaiting this rom update for my new xda orbit device.
Also are your technical support team able to offer any information on any new features of the update and whether O2 active will be included in this build.
Cheers.
Paul

i just got a reply from a nice chap at o2, hopefully soon we will get our free upgrade.
i tried to get info on what will be released/new feature on wm6 for our device.but allas no joy...
hopefully they will let me test future roms etc!!
Thats a far more in depth response than I got when I asked them. All I was told was that they can't give a date and to keep checking the website for further information. Only problem is since o2's uk website is so rubbish I've not found anywhere relating to support downloads for devices!

When they finally get their act together, there will probably be another tab called 'software updates' added to the 'I've already got an Orbit' page. This has been the case with other devices, although they all had the launch ROM available on the site too, which is not the case with the Orbit.
Another in depth response from O2 UK - this is what I got from them yesterday:
Good Afternoon
Thank you for your e-mail.
We will be launching the WM 6 update for the Orbit, but unfortunately we cannot provide a specific date to you due to confidentiality.
We do believe this update will be provided during the summer period.
If you require any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Kind regards

Confidentiality from who? Customers?
Sounds like the staff at o2 are as in the dark as the customers! The information probably hasn't filtered down to the help desks yet so they're all giving their own version of events. Either that or they're telling us different stories on purpose to confuse us all!
I would go for the different stories theory. The reply i received was that they (O2) had no intention of releasing a free WM6 update as this OS was designed for new hardware and not backwards compatible.
I think O2 should get their act together. One hand doesn't know what the other is doing.
Hope it comes out soon. Time will tell.
I just received a call from O2, following up an enquiry on wm6 upgrade on orbit at their site www.my-xda.com. They said that nothing can be said at the moment but has asked me to enquire next month and they would have a definite answer on the matter.
Good Morning
Thank you for your e-mail.
The information which we have at the moment, is that an upgrade is being tested, which will have WM 6 functionality.
Unfortunately we have no timescales as to release, but details when available, pending accreditation, will be posted on our XDA web site www.my-xda.com
Sorry we cannot be more precise with our answer, but if you require any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Kind regards

A reply from HTC Europe. Really hope it's begin June when they release it
Hi,
I recently sent a message to HTC Support asking:
Hi, I recently accquired a HTC Touch P3452 from Thailand with WM6.0 as OS. Through the last months I have seen updates to WM6.1 become available for Europe and US customers.
Since my phone is from Asia-pacific region I have been told that these updates does not apply to me (SN: XXXXXXXXXXXX).
Will there be one for the Asia-pacific region, or my phone at all (see above serial number)?
If so when ???
Yesterday I got this reply:
Thank you for contacting HTC Europe.
Even though stated on the website, there will not be any upgrades for HTC Touch to Windows Mobile 6.1. Due to an error on the website, it gives the illusion that there are upgrades available for download (of Windows Mobile 6.1), this is indeed false. HTC will offer upgrades to WM6.1 for the following models:
HTC Touch Cruise, HTC S730 and HTC Tytn II.
Just thought some of you might like to know. My apologies if this has already been brought up.
If anyone has any other information in regards to an "official" upgrade available for a newbie with no experience at to in flashing rom's, it would be most appriciated..

Hi and welcome to XDA! You'll see that this site is full of ressources.
You own a HTC Touch Elfin. This is the section for the HTC Touch Vogue. They look very similar but are in fact quite different.
The Elf has a sim card in it (GSM service). The Vogue dosn't need any (CDMA)...
I Think HTC Europe only has the GSM versions and there aren't any 6.1 versions for those as far as i know... Any way, you should search and read the Elf section here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&daysprune=-1&f=372
Good luck !
What we know so far... The carriers below have tested and approved the update and are waiting on Microsoft to deploy it.
Official word from Microsoft is Mango will start rolling out between September 26th and October 9th.
Vodafone Australia
Optus
Telstra
Telus
Bell
O2 Germany
Deutsche Telekom
SFR France
Orange France
O2 UK
Other information as follow:
AT&T to start rollout on September 27th for HTC Surround, LG Quantum and Samsung Focus Rev. v1.3 (supposedly as there's no official word directly from AT&T to consumers)
have not deployed on telstra yet
Talked to O2 in UK and they just say they cannot say anything about it. Useless company and useless staff.
Oh Oh Oh, I have confirmation from "3" UK that they are..doing absolutely..nothing. That was 3 days ago.
I did post this in another thread but I think it got ignored because of countless "WHERES MY UPDATE" posts.
Give my email address to /b/ and I will kill all of you.

If no one posted, then call them up to see if you can find any info, that's what everyone else is doing...
I heard some, probably not accurate, stuff, that AT&T should be rolling out Mango on day 1, which _could_ be as soon as Monday. But don't believe me, it might be HOAX.
Oh and Windows Phone CZ on Facebook asked if we are preparing for Mango update in upcoming DAYS
AT&T said, "AT&T will be among the first to offer the Windows Phone Mango update to its leading portfolio of Windows Phones this fall." Not sure if that means you can get it on day 1.
Orange Uk
Just had a tweet from orange customer services |(Uk)
We have no specific details on a Windows phone update I'm afraid
sounds about right for orange, no info
