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

Is there any way I can get WMP 10 onto my SX66 without changing the firmware? I'd like to continue to use the official Windows Mobile 2003SE firmware for the SX66.
I checked the website for the SX66, and they don't have a WMP upgrade.....and it's not available for download from Microsoft.
You can try and request the program files for windows media player 10 from one of the members of this site, I don't have time right now but if you PM me later I'll try and help you out.
Does anyone have the program files? If yes, could you please upload them?
what exactly is wrong with WMP9 that you currently have?

Nothing is wrong with it, I would just rather have WMP10 becuase of it's improved features.
Hmm.
On the topic of WMP10, has anyone heard of skins being released for it yet?
The only program files I have are the 3 files for the default skin. >_>
new features?

A better looking interface, better support for syncing with WMP on PC, media library, album art support, support for DRM-protected media, etc.
So....could someone please upload the setup files for WMP10 if possible?
Oops made a mistake, sorry thought you could get it from the Microsoft website. Can't remember where I got it from now, it was ages ago, but it does work fine. Certain it was just a free download though.
Ever since Windows Mobile 2003, Microsoft only releases WMP for WM devices as a part of ROM updates. Siemens did not directly release the later HTC ROMs that included WMP10... so you'll have to flash your SX66 with another ROM (like, i-Mate's) that comes with WMP10.
That sucks, I was hoping that I would be able to just update the program.
Where can I download the i-Mate firmware (I already checked the website for it, and couldn't find it), or another WM2003 firmware for the BA that has WMP10?

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

not at the moment no... but the functionality is there for future updates... but as most ROM cooks use tadzio's tools which removes the buffers around files in the IMGFS using Windows Update could in fact turn your device into a brick if updates were pushed out...

Pretty common sense.
Microsoft has made it abundantly clear on more then 1 front that they have zero interest in maintaining Windows Mobile and only release OS updates to keep people off the other platform devices.
MS doesn't care about updating phones and doesn't care about making activesync function correctly.
Mark my words... Windows updates on these devices will ALWAYS be useless.

Good answer. I also wonder how certain people come to their "firm" opinions or even "knowledge" about what MS "plans" and his in mind.
My hard facts come from M$ at MEDC 2007. When asked whether they planned on delivering Mobile Office 2K7 via Windows update I was told that the windows update mechanism itself was "only for critical security related patches"...
We'll need windows update when the first virus hits I suppose...

Windows Update will be used very soon to distribute an updated version of IE to WM6 users. And for those of you that have your doubt... let's just say I know someone who's testing its functionality now.

But it will never happen.. How long has the Hermes been out for, and have you EVER seen ANY update?
Thats what I thought..
Theres more "updates" on this forum than u would ever need through this useless tool anyway
very true!!! wont see a windows update on the hermes or any device that has it.....
ive had the blackjack since day 1 and there was the BJ II and the Epix and still didnt see any updates whatsoever....so after 2 generations of the blackjack (i count the epix as one ahahah) i dont think they are ever going to release one for it.
So for the hermes im pretty sure its not going to happen.
Like they said XDA developers is your update tool (if you can call it that) because the winmo builds (beta) are constantly updated here through various rom releases.....
It's in the e-club section so you need to sign up.
I'm downloading now, i'll post feedback later today.

RE:
Cheers to HTC for finally releasing the code. Downside: No Office Mobile. Here's the link I found in these forums for the Office Mobile cab:
http://rapidshare.com/files/31706137/Office.WM6.zip
Trouble downloading?
Anyone else having trouble downloading? I signed into my e-club account, clicked on the phone software upgrade link, selected WWE and HTC Europe download site, then clicked the download button. After a few seconds, I got the usual Windows download dialog, I clicked save, selected a directory as usual, and then OK. So far it's still sitting there at 0% progress.
I downloaded the Office package from the previous thread in this link (of course, from a different site), so I know my network is working OK.
So is anyone else experiencing this? I've been patient up to today, and now chomping at the bit to get this downloaded and installed on my S620.
Thanks,

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.

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
