Was just about to post this myself
I think the crux of the matter will be, will it cost HTC anythin to supply a WM6 rom for existing devices? It will cost a bit in development, but would they have to pay MS for licensing?
I'm sure the answer is yes - so they wont do it.
Call me a pessimist if you like . . . Im relying on a clever rom cooker out there!

Did anybody notice that only htc vox from three new handsets (forth one has been removed from htc site) presented at 3GSM has wm6 preinstalled. I think that htc will do an upgrade of some handsets with wm5. Let's hope I'm right!
cheers
HTC released upgrades for exisiting devices from PocketPC 2003 to WM5 and is busy on other devices for update to WM6, also from WM5 to WM6 'so it could be possible that the TYN gets one from WM5 to WM6.
*fingers crossed*

as far as i know htc never released any OS upgrades... and i've had htc devices since the XDA 1.
Why are we all excited for WM6? They can't even get WM5 right on this device!
I dont see any reason to wait for WM6. With WM5 works solid, and i dont see any changes from WM5 to WM6!! Changes of OS from one year, are not enough from Microsoft.

Well for one, the email client is supposed to be better, also PIE has some updates, but the biggest thing for me is that I spend hours a day behind a remote desktop session from my TyTN, and the client in WM6 is so much better from what I have read, clipboard support..no more transferrin docs to retrieve text....also its supposed to have sound support also...I run streaming media services, and being able to preview audio before I encode it etc..that would be incredibly helpful. And also when you don't rewrite an OS completely you build upon it, work out bugs, and add improvements, plus I guess if you only talk on your device...its not gonna be much different.
I tend to see some people sayin the same thing about the PC OS's, its like they expect a whole new experience with each OS.
When you completely redo the OS everytime you only tick off software designers, There are improvements there, just take the time to look.
i agree, heavy users of their devices will have huge amounts of program data running at one time, (i do) and sometimes it lags, other times it fails to load new programs. I read that the memory paging was better in WM6 than it is in WM5 so lets hope so!
Here's sort of a kick in the pants. Check out what the article says about HTC and WM6. Hmm...http://www.pocketpcmag.com/mobile/webguide.asp
I thought that WM 6.1 is out already, after reading all the articles and seeing the video demonstrating the OS. do u guys have any good guess when it might come out, i would love to see the Dash with that kicking ass home screen and improved ROM.
I have been curious to know also. Everything I have read states that Microsoft will officially announce it in February, and new devices will start shipping with it in May. Given that, I would expect updates for older devices by year's end. I hope that the Dash gets the update.
Windows Mobile 6.1
Looks similar to what HTC and T-Mobile did with the T-Mobile shadow device. Changed the way the user navigates through the menus to make it "easier" anded a new homescreen and that was about it. I cant wait for win mobile 7 next year or so hopefully.
So the WM 6.1 will be announced in Feb 11:
The first vital news item is exact time and place of Microsoft's press conference, where, most likely, the Windows Mobile 6.1 will be announced:
Mobile World Congress 2008: February 11, 2008
15:00-16:00 Microsoft Press Conference
Microsoft Executive Meeting Centre
Hotel Catalonia Plaza
(organized by Microsoft Mobility Team at Weber Shandwick - a PR company that Microsoft uses)
Most likely the main speaker will be Pieter Knook (the highest in hierarchy manager responsible for Windows Mobile and not for other unrelated divisions) together with some other top managers from Microsoft and Microsoft partner companies (operators and manufacturers).

Well, threaded SMS, IE zooming and page preview... not just homescreen
Any Updates
I am seeing a lot of 6.1 related posts for other phones, but nothing on the Excalibur. Does anyone have any updates/links for a 6.1 ROM for the Excalibur?
i'd love an update too. i read on another site a quick writeup. they said for smartphone the 6.1 update will help to resolve (note: not fix entirely) the memory leaking issues. that's my biggest hope, that and an updated IE... though with the new opera coming out, it might be outdone before it even has a chance anyway.
Windows Mobile 6.1 is out, emulator images also
Here is the official press release for Windows Mobile 6.1
EveryWAN Remote Support and Mobility Manager already work on those OS flavors.
You can download the Windows Mobile 6.1 emulator images.
Don't play too late with it this night !

.... when it's done ?
you should suscribe to some rss feed talking about winmo and mobile phone, (rss feeds in opera mini are fabulous) and wait the first official release of wm 6.5. Then read the forum again and again.
ok. sorry for the posts. 10x again.

I want the home such as windows 8 with all updates
This is not yet available and won't be until fall. Tango is an intermediate Update which only brings some Bugfixes, additional MMS support and that's pretty much it.
What you want to have on your device is Windows Phone 7.8 which will include the new start screen which won't be finished before fall.
Now that 7.8 is round the corner (may be 1-2 months more), I dont think its good idea to update to WP Tango. I would rather wait for 7.8 for my Omnia W.
a) 7.8 will come out after 8.0 itself
b) Update path to 7.8 goes through Tango.

You mean I wont able to upgrade to 7.8 if I dont have Tango currently on my Omnia W?
Yes.
What's the issue? Just wait for your phone to offer you Zune update and boom, you are updated in 5 minutes.

7.8 is still quite far away (the presentation said that 7.8 would be released after 8.0, and we have no date for 8.0 yet) so we don't know how the upgrade path will be.
But, historically, upgrades have been incremental on Windows Phone - you have to upgrade to each version before going to the next. Zune has handled this automatically until now.
So it is fairly safe to assume that you will need to upgrade to Tango before 7.8, even if only for a second...
PS: the Tango deployment started last week and is apparently still throttled - most people have not yet been given the option of upgrading...
I got 3 upgrades on my Samsung Omnia W after trying forced steps. First Phone got upgraded to 8112, then in 2nd try with same steps it upgraded to 8773. Then it automatically performed 3rd upgrade when it installed some update provided by Samsung.
Hope 7.8 would not need such forced steps
ookk guys thanks to all : Risata:: Risata:: Risata:: Risata:: Risata:: Risata:
Apparently Windows Phone 7.8 roll-out just starter through Zune, so if anyone finds it, please catch the addresses of firmware updates and the WP7.8 cab as well, so we can update manually using CAB Sender right now, thanks

interesting news, I wonder if the device ID reg change will help it catch the update sooner.
It seems that this information is only relevant to Nokia Lumia users :/ Hope this will start soon with other brands...
I've not seen any confirmation posts that anyone normal has got it, Nokia devices, ok but which country and carrier
