i have received a email form HTC about WM 6
this is what they said:
Thank you for contacting HTC Europe regarding a query about Windows Mobile 6.
We are currently awaiting an official response from our Head Office on the matter of ROM updates from Windows Mobile 5.0 to Windows Mobile 6. We hope to have an answer for you soon.? Please contact us again in a few weeks and we may be able to give you an update.
so i think that there is comming 1 soon

I think you could be right
He IS right. For all the models, mentioned in this articles, there're already beta versions of WM6 available.
T-Mobile and O2 will both be releasing Heralds with WM6. T-Mobile will have a different case design tho.
WM6 for Herald and other current HTC devices
As per my sources in HTC the following devices will get WM6 upgrade for free within May/June.
TyTN
P4350
P3300
S620
some of them in May and some of them in June
That's very good news!
I am pretty excited I hope it holds true.
It looks like the rollout should start anyday now....except...the U.S. Roms have yet to be mentioned.

It does state that the P4350 will be getting the update.
As far as U.S. Roms that is really up the the carrier; but if you have a HTC branded phone and are in the US then the WWE ROM update will be what you need.
Firstly, a big thank you to all those members of this forum that post usefull infomation, whilst I don't post, I do find most of the posted info very useful.
A couple of questions:
1) Are T-Mobile going to offer a WM 6 Upgrade in the UK (I assume the O2 UK upgrade is official ?)
2) Have the issues with WM 6 and the Blackberry Rim software been resolved ?
Many thanks in advance

Last I heard T-Mobile had said NO, they weren't going to give us an official upgrade.
Not that it's a problem, Network's own releases are always notoriously bad, look at the reviews of O2's offering for example, much better off with the software direct from HTC or a cooked ROM like one of Tom's B&B.
Sorry don't use Blackberry software here.
Thanks for the info with regards to the ROM's, I'm prepared to install HTC ROM although don't want to stuff my Blackberry Connect software at the same time.
Can anyone recommend an actual ROM that they have used on a T-Mobile UK device that retains the original features? Or at least list what is missing?
Cheers, J.
Hi,
I'm quite new to these forums and new to the HTC world. It's good to see such an active community (compared to my previous FDC Loox device).
I see there has been a great deal of work to update to WM6.1.
What I wanted to find out is - historically speaking - how likely is it for HTC to issue an official WM 6.1 ROM for the Polaris ?
I expect the more experienced HTC users amoungst you would be familiar with what they've issued in the past. Do they tend to stick to one WM version for any given device ?
And a second point, if a WM6.1 is issued for a newer device, could this be retro-flashed to the Polaris ?
I'm just trying to decide whether I should go for one of the hacked versions here, or hold on until HTC release something.
Thanks in advance.
Anyone ?
i say go with what you find here.
chances are the official version will contain a lot of things that you won't use and use up a lot of space.
Do you think there will ever be an Official 6.1 HTC Rom? 6.1 was released for the TYTNII months ago, and then came all the Diamond/Pro hype. Now that has died down, there's still nothing new for the TC. I suspect HTC has abandoned any dev on pre-Diamond/Pro devices now.
Rumors say, that it will be realeased this month.

It will help you
In a norwegian site "smartmobil.no" they claim its probably in internal testing, and that it wont be long.
We all know HTC is not actually well known to be punctional..but they have anounced a wm6.1 rom for polaris, and im sure they will release it soon.
when you go to that link in the ELF/TOUCH forum, conserning a update to that device, note that there has never been a official anouncement, unlike the Polaris, about a wm6.1 upgrade for that device.
but hey..dont expect miracles with the shipped/official rom....
but we will have a new base for our roms...
Hi guys,
Anybody has any news about the ROM upgrade for our topaz? It's 6th of October here in Malaysia but so far, no news. I heard Windows Marketplace is opened! I have checked the Taiwan website but yet still no news. I know Orange UK has announced that their ROM will be available only on the 12th.
Anyone has any other news?
I am looking for that answer too.
I sent an email to HTC asking about it. So far no news.
It is 15.57 here in Sydney.
I'm waiting aswell. I want to try out a official release from HTC. But I'll probably stick with the coocked roms seeing that a lot of the wm 6.5 phones here in the US are shipping with the old touchflo3D.
Can I ask a question guys....if I install the official ROM that comes out later do I still have to HardSPL it?
If you are still on the stock ROM and have not HSPL's then technically no you do not have to HSPL. As long as HTC posts an update for your phones original country of origin on the tech area of that countries site than you're good to go.
If the serial does not work you might consider HSPLing your phone and using the official rom when someone uploads it in the ROM development section. Doing a HSPL is quick and painless. Cooked Roms rule.
Ok this is what I got.
"Thank you for contacting HTC Service Support. Regarding your inquiry, much as we would like to provide you with the information unfortunately we still do not have the details yet. No information has been provided to when will the WM 6.5 upgrade for HTC Touch Diamond 2 be available. However if there will be any, it will be for free and can be downloaded form the HTC site. For now we really can’t tell since before upgrade is being provided, our technical department has to do series of tests and research first. Also any upgrades for a particular handset model are based on the demand of the Telecom Provider."
So, I guess we have to wait.
The upgrade for German Vodafone devices are on the support page of HTC Germany if anyone is looking for it.
Can't be like that
HTC have had months to get this into place so I find it hard to believe that we will not get the updates today. If that is the case then HTC have done very poorly in that case. Whilst other phones are coming with 6.5 I cannot see why the Diamond 2 shouldn't have an update on the day of release.
Updating your phone to Windows Mobile 6.5

Your link didnt work!
Works fine for me but no mention of TD2, just 3 other HTC.
No phones have dates listed yet.

Just had an email from HTC and I quote... "we are awaiting confirmation from the software manufacture if the handset will receive an approved license or not"... I have a question.. why did HTC promise a wm6.5 upgrade if they are unsure if they can do it?!
I don't realy know if that is the problem. If you go to the Hong Kong windows phone webpage you will see that microsoft itself is promoting the upgrade.
So I can't see any reason why of why it is not out yet. Maybe they want to release it toguther with the American market. It is very early in the morning there yet.
I just checked on the Polish HTC site, but it looks like they do not know about that fact, that the upgrade should be today.
What is even better the customer service line number in Poland - when dialled - tells me "There is no such number!!"
This, I think, is outrageous & the HTC headquarters' guys should think with whom they cooperate in my beautiful country !!!!!!!
B-R-A-V-I-S-S-I-M-O HTC - worse can you not serve !!!

Polish 6.5 upgrade will be available on this page: http://sunnysoft.com/htc/
I don't get how there was a Vodafone branded 6.5 ROM listed on the German HTC site on the 4th and everyone else (who paid top dollar) with a network free phone has to wait indefinately for the official ROM......and I thought HTC were improving their customer support

That is what annoys me.. that we paid for our phones.. yet they have NO clue about what is going on with Windows Mobile 6.5! I should really buy out that firm and organise them properly!
