Here's something interesting that just happened to me today.
Brief story:
Last week I purchased a TyTn from a user here and when I got it, it had the screen alignment issue. Rather than fiddling with it, I just sold it as such.
So, I got a fairly good deal on a new 8525 from directly from AT&T. I just got it, powered it on and saw... WM6! Let me repeat, this was a direct purchase from AT&T. The version of WM6 on it is the same build found here, 17944.0.3.1. The radio on it is 1.48.00.00.
So, although the software on it is nothing new, I thought it would be something interesting to note that AT&T is shipping WM6 with their 8525s now... I guess.
I wonder when they're going to be posting the rom on the HTC website itself.
Very Interesting, call them and ask for support just to **** with them since I know ATT wont know what to do!
Now if they would just start shipping the kaisers we would be all set and has the two most powerfull phones on the market today!!
that is pretty interesting though since I think the AT-T rom out of the box had many bugs and issues. I know I spent a few hours getting the kinks out when I cooked up my custom AT-T rom. thanks for sharing though... as I say in my SA group

I assumed they would have posted the ROM before shipping devices with them myself.

Hehe. Would they even know WM6 is?
so have you flashed their bloat-ware ROM off of it yet?
haha
Well TB this is interesting, no? Is one thing to purchase a used Hermes on Ebay that has jj or faria's stamp on it but this is official....
And @austinsync regarding the official ROM, the biggest complaint with me and mine is the radio... that dawg just don't hunt here in So FLA. Taking everyone back to the 1.40. The basic ROM, bypassing the ext ROM, wasn't bad... vg3g did a bad ass job on cleaning it up, major kudos. Am finding the majority of my peoples' complaints due to the 1.48 radio.
Thanks TB for that update!

Yeah, I was pretty surprised. And I've only made a couple calls on it so far, but I have to say it's not bad. The call quality with 1.48 seems good.
@GldRush98, I'm definitely going to "upgrade" this thing today. But, I'm pretty impressed by the speed and stability of the ROM so far. I'll probably do a ROM dump before I flash something else on it. Just in case someone wants it... for whatever reason.
I would like to see if the same exact one as the rom that's on this forum so let me know when you dump it please.

LMFAO!! I would pay to hear the phone conversation.
I just got mine last week but it had WM5.... of course it doesn't now!!!!!
I'm getting a brand-new AT&T 8525 (probably tomorrow) to replace my current Cingular 8525 with loose stylus (long story but the refurb they sent was crap so I complained nicely...)
I'll be interested to see what OS comes on it now but I am thinking of selling it new-in-box to help pay for the Kaiser...
I bought an AT&T branded 8525 on 7-23-07. It came with WM5. And, the AT&T store where i bought had just received it that morning.

I suppose mine could have been some kind of anomaly, but a welcome one. It was still shipped in the newer AT&T box that listed the OS on the front as WM5 with the "Coming in 2007, Windows Mobile 6 Upgrade" bullet at the bottom.
But I suppose all this doesn't matter a whole lot for me. I've already loaded up my own custom ROM and didn't really take advantage of this good fortune.
Does it seem ANY different from the one posted in my thread Taurus?

Hey Madcap. I was without a phone at the time, so I never got to checking it out. I'll flash it in just a little bit and see if I can find any differences.
Ok, Let me know.. would be interesting if there are different features maybe.

Just checked it out, and it's identical to the one you posted. Same build, build date, etc. All the programs match up too. Nothing more or less in either, it appears.
Nice.
I am planning on purchasing a sprint diamond in a week. can I flash roms even though it is cmda,not hsdpa? i was not sure since it appears my hermes only has flashing for att usa and t-mobile gsm carriers.
no response
Just wanted to see if anyone had an answer on this one? I may end up holding off on the Sprint Diamond if I cant modify it? Just wanted to know if the Diamond needs to be a gsm rather than cmda to flash the roms here on this site.
Im also very interested im thinking that it will have to be separate roms but if some one could set me straight that would be good
well
it appears no one knows the answer to our question. my guess is you cannot flash roms unless they are cmda versons. I think I will ask the same question in the Hermes section since they respond when asked a question. looking forward to getting a diamond of tpro.

Sorry for the question. I just didnt want to buy the cmda version if i couldn't modify it. with this info, I think I would be better off waiting for gsm version in the states although it seems the touchpro is coming to att soon. it sucks that only sprint and verizon are carrying the diamond except for a 700.00dollar unlocked hsdpa version at best buy but no way I am paying that for a phone. anyway, thanks again for the assistance. Have a good day.
There are CDMA ROMs starting to show up now. I just released a relatively stable one a few days ago.
thanks

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=430486
Just bought a Sprint Diamond.
It came with 1.09.651.5 ROM and 1.00.00F radio.
Is this the latest out there? Can't seem to find anything newer.
Thanks.

sorry I dont have an answer to your question but I am buying the diamond next week from Sprint. how do you like it thus far? is the data network fast?
New Rom needed
Ok I have a sprint Diamond for a week now and I cannot stand the sprint Rom.
It is so slow, locks up, drives me nuts.
I love the phone and all it has to offer but I need it to run better, stronger, faster.
What ROM will work with a SPRINT CDMA Diamond?
Juicy CDMA rom appears to me, to be very stable. 2.2 is very nice, and he is planning a release of 2.4 any time now.

I love the phone so far. It's definitely the best one Sprint has had in a while.
The network is fast. Battery seems to last as expected.
Might have to get mine replaced though, one of the LED lights on the scroll wheel seems to be completely off- just a factory defect.
Much nicer than the touch.
Can't seem to figure out the latest radio version for it though.
apreciate it!

Thanks for the info. I think I might pull the trigger on this one. I with t-mobile now and just wanted to make sure the network was good. you hear alot of bad things about Sprint but they seem to claim to have the fastest 3g network. on mobile speed sites like dls, Sprint usually ranks number 1 ahead of verizon and att. thanks again.
I posted this before but it disapeared after all the threads got moved to off topic today and all recent posts where lost so I assume thats why this thread disappeared too, but if was taken down purposely then sorry for putting it back up anyways, it said this: (or something like that)
I have read a lot of articles and posts on xda and other sites saying it will come to t-mobile also some say that a leaked rom shows that it has been configured for t-mobile's network, so do you think this is true, keep in mind t0mobiel hasnt been getting a lot of wm phones recently
so do you think it will come to T-mobile or not?

I think your right, now my next question is do you think it will require a data plan, cause no other phone from wm has ever required one and I think the iphone requred one but then the fuze didnt also, T-mobile emplyes told me that the G1 actually NEEDS a data plan to work right because it has to be linked to your gmal account, if that was their exuse last time then we all no they will be lieing if they say that this time because we all know that wm DOES NOT requrire one, and also, a question I have had for a while is does the 2nd android phone that was released in some othere country need a data plan, and if the os is the same then maybe it really is just the android os

Yes, sir that would be the HTC Maple/Snap. It's actually a nice phone for a smartphone and I'm usually not a big fan. It is also coming to T-Mobile about the same time as the Rhodium.

Don't beleive everything you read on the internet. The HTC Snap is slated for a T-mobile release.
RUU_Maple_TMOUS_0.81.531.1_Radio_7225_6110_2.32.10.16A_61.10.10.00U_Test
I've seen this working with my own eyes. Don't give up on T-Mobile yet, they're just getting started.
I went into a tmobile store today asking when the htc magic was going to be released and the they told me july 8th then i asked when the htc hero is coming and they said they dont know and the lady said the only other phone she knows is what he has (she pointed to another tmobile guy) and BAM he pulled out the touch pro2..i was in awe! i didnt like the colors though it had a brown back..i like the silver in the picture alot better..but ya..oh man i cant remember if it had the front camera :/..but it had tmobile logo on the top
WOW if you are serious I think I want to go into a tmobile store and see for my self not because I dont beleive you but jsut because I want to see it with my own eyes, this is GREAT news!!! Thanks for posting this! oh and are they going to call it the wing 2 or the touch pro 2?
i am dead serious..im not sure i was so shocked i didnt ask questions he let me play with it and then i had to go cuz the store was closing..i think one worker form every store gets it to test..he told august 8th..and i can upgrae july 30th! ..but i really like my magic :/ android with hero is amazing
Wow Im surprised more people arent posting, this is amazing to me I think I will try to stop by a T-mobile store when I get the chance because it would be amazing to try out a touch pro 2, especially the tmobile branded one about a month ago when I was there they never even heard of it lol
does anyone know the price? and will they force you to eat a pda data plan?
Anyone else see one in a T-Mobile store? I am thinking of going down to the closest T-Mobile store to see if they have it!
I hope not

Its not that I don't believe you, its that I'm sad that there aren't any in my area. Plus I hope that you are wrong about the release date... Jul 22nd sounds better than Aug 8th
But what are your impressions on the phone? Is the T-mobile version just as nice looking as the Global version? do you like the lack of chrome?
& I'm fairly sure that T-mobiles touch pro2 will come in mocha color and black

I wish I can do that, but if in USA you guys have to wait till July or August, imagine in México!, we have to wait for our 3G version (in the best case scenario and if arrives...) till november!
So I´ll wait till be launched in USA and then decide if buy one of those nasty modifications models or to loose 3G with an european beauty.......
Hard descicion uh?
Just my personal thinking.
Cheers to all,
was offically announces five days ago anybody planing on giving up there T-moble TP2 for the G2 or holding on to it until a window seven phone come out?

So far I haven't heard anything about WP7 that makes it sound like something I'd want to wait for... And I'm tired of missing the apps/features that have come to Android and other OS, and not WM.

Mine was pre-ordered. I got a text from T-Mobile 2 days ago letting me know to expect my G2 to arrive within 7 days.
After actually reading that Oct 16 launch article in the link above, the only thing I can figure is that the G2 will be officially released to all customers. New or existing customers. The T-Mobile guy told me on the phone that it would be arriving at my house around the 6th. So, I dunno.. It would not surprise me any if it didn't come out till November 16th. Nothing about the phone companies ever comes as a surprise. But, I am still having fun customizing my TP2 and messing around with the xandroid on the sd card.
wow so there's people on here making off topic posts about the fisher price lookin OS too.

It fun customizing the TP2 but i think it time for somthing solid. to much flashing and re-installing app gets annoying after a while

Following articles say G2 may be on sale any day now, or may already be available:

Not sure about the comment about not wanting to give up the ability to customize (like you can on the TP2). There is lots of customization available on Android, on an OS that is vastly smoother, more stable, and has tons of support from app developers.
One of the few things stopping me from going to Android, is the lack of a ATT-compatible handset with a hardware keyboard. And I might be willing to overlook the keyboard requirement.

Typing on a phone with a big screen like the HD2 is not that bad.
I'm thinking of going with the Desire Z (virtually identical to the G2).

Don't think that's got a hardware keyboard though, more of an HD2 equivalent, perhaps ?

People with iPhones have the same description of the screen keyboard: "not that bad". The screen keyboard is never described as "good". "Not that bad" isn't good enough for me. A hardware keyboard is simply faster, more accurate, and therefore a superior input method. It does result in a slightly thicker form factor, but that's a trade-off that is more than worthwhile, IMO. Especially coming from the best hardware keyboard on a phone (the TP2), its pretty tough for me to make a switch to a screen keyboard.

People who pre-ordered started receiving the G2 late last week. And the G2 board at T-Mobile Forums has been going nuts for several days...crises rising and falling -- lots of drama.
