Ok ok..srry for the titel but I wanted to make you curious..
ok..This is what I found..
I know there are alot cooked-wm6 roms..but non of them are official (for as far as I know )
..
According to this news-artical;
The first phone powered by Windows Mobile 6 is on sale!
April 14, 2007 [MS Smartphone]
As expected in April (this month!) the first Windows Mobile 6 powered phones are going on sale. But which of them would manage the honorable first place? Some model from i-mate? Or maybe some E-TEN? Read on!
The first ever Windows Mobile 6 phone available commercially (on sale) is HTC S710 ! While a couple years ago it were in most cases mobile operators like Orange and T-Mobile that were always offering as first ones new models of Windows Mobile phones, nowadays these are online shops - as case of Samsung i600 (European version of Samsung BlackJack with Wi-Fi and video calling) proves...
To buy HTC S710 (it's in stock!) powered by Windows Mobile 6, click here (in French).
More information about this phone below.
The HTC S710 is the most compact messaging phone with an auto-sliding QWERTY keyboard. It is the first smartphone powered by the new Windows Mobile 6 Standard platform. This new platform provides genuine mobile Office Outlook experience, greater control of Outlook Mobile Calendar, better Internet Explorer Mobile browsing experience and Windows Live. It also offers greater interoperability with Exchange Server 2007 providing you with improved e-mail management (such as Fetch Mail and Set Flags), Out-of-Office assistant, and HTML e-mail viewing capabilities.
With the S710, manage your contacts and calls more efficiently with improved integration between Contacts and Call History. View Microsoft Office documents and PDF files on the go using the document viewers on the phone. Use Windows Live to chat with friends, search information, and send e-mail. With the S710, you stay connected and productive while on the move.

I know this is about a smartphone-wm6 version, but do you think, there will soon be releases of wm6-ppc-versions? *official?*
erm of course..
cingular promised to release wm6 upgrades officially for the 8525, blackjack, and treo 750 by summer time 07.
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 did they say that? I wouldn't be too shocked to see them actually update "my phone" with a new version that works with "Windows Phone Live". At least I hope they do. The back-end is likely extremely similar. Mostly just new UI and branding. Shoot, all the URLs they're using are still "myphone.microsoft.com"
myphone is liked to your live account so it wont be a problem as windows phone live (as the name suggests) will also limk to your live account.

ms wont stop myphone.. as it comes pre-installed in stock roms of 6.5 and 6.5.3.... it would embaras ms if customer buys a handset, and is asked on the myphone to get updated to the win phone live!! window phone live is a myphone only for windows phone 7.. windows phone live is a markettin strategy of ms for WINDOWS PHONE 7. they are willing to a give.. ah.. 25gb of space for file transferring, which is not in myphone.
myphone may get later updated for windows phone live... but quite later
It's just a name change + a 25gb free skydrive. Why do you complain about being given free features and upgraded cloud-space?
Actually, I'm looking forward to LiveMyPhone to be hacked to WM-non7 phones. I'm using MyPhone since beta stage and it always worked flawlessly, got evolved with new functions and now it's getting Skydrive-powered-25GB online storage... I want that now!
EDIT: they say you can even erase/locate your cell from remote for free (now you pay for that feats)... suck it, MobileMe! XD
Maybe the GPS will be good enough so that if I loose my phone in my house I can tell what room it is in xD. I'm excited about the 25GB transfer limit this will be great if we start having hacked roms and can get all of our files from the cloud upon loading a new ROM. If new ROM's will even be nessicary anymore of course.
Does anyone know if this new video enabled version of Skype is being ported to Windows Mobile (6.1) devices like the Touch Pro? Any timeframe.
Thanks,
Joe
Skype for Windows Mobile is not supported anymore ...
certainly not.
why?
because winmo 6.1 is purely and simply dead.
because winmo 6.5 is also in the graveyard with his little brother.
because skype has made already an end to this both plateform.
hahah hardly
wm6.x is hardly dead. is much more versatile than i-app-phone or goo-OS app crap...
Skype is losing revenue because there will be many that wont switch to limited os app based garbage.
cell phones in general are becoming dead in the beginnings of losing like landlines were 10 years ago... and there are other voip alternatives. you just have to look for them.
Salt at all, someone can tell me if there is a link to download a version of Skype running on a Samsung i900 Omnia with windows mobile 6.1 pro.
thank you for your interest.
Hi yann73 , in yahoo or in google search for "skype windows mobile" , look for the link that says "Skype Windows Mobile ... v3.0.0.256" , download file from a trustworthy site.
There are two types of files out there, one is a cab, another is exe, same version. Get the "exe" version.
Connect your Windows Mobile phone with your windows (pc/desktop/laptop) computer thru ActiVeSync type of sync software.
then run/execute the 'exe' version installer, it will install necessary stuff in ur computer first, then rightaway it will start to transfer+install inside ur Phone.
In my experience, i wasnt able to make the cab version worked on Phone, but the exe version when installed in Phone sync connection then it worked, ur experience may vary.
If audio doesnt work properly then you will also need the "WM Audio Redirector.zip" or AudioRoute, a free soft, search here in xda-dev.
As below phones are similar to mine, it should work on all of them : HTC Touch Diamond, Touch Diamond2, Touch HD, Touch HD2, Touch 3G, Mogul/Titan 6800, Kaiser / TyTN II , P4550 & Samsung Omnia i900.
That will allow to use Audio & Text chat . No Video chat support on that version of skype , unless some1 makes a VideoRoute software for it, like AudioRoute.
