This comes from a close friend of mine working for T-Mobile US. It seems that we will have a Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition somwhere in may for the nice old XDA.
There is a floating around new beta ROM with 4.10.01
It will include all this great new features all for our devices (so obviously no bluetooth,VGA or others):
* the biggest change is going to be the ability to easily switch the screen orientation
* The new version of Pocket Internet Explorer will also be able to force web pages into a single column, similar to the way NetFront 3.1 and Opera does. This will make reading web sites not formatted for handhelds easier.
It might not be very much but this is a good news.
So after all seems that T-Mobile will give us some nice summer present.
If anyone has infos from AT&T or O2 shoot !
I have installed Avantgo on my M5000, but everything is really, really spaced out. If I try and go to options, everything is spaced out so much, I can hardly make out the few bits still visible on the screen, so I can't fix it that way, the only thing I can really do is Cancel back out...
Anyone got any ideas what has happened or how to fix it?
Thanks.
Avantgo is at alpha stage for wm5 so there are lots of issues. You would be better off uninstalling and waiting for development. Check out the Avantgo site for more info.
Cheers
Colin
yeah, that's been my approach
you can sign up with the avantgo help site so that you'll be notified of any developments - see http://avantgo.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/avantgo.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=297
Excellent. Thanks folks.
has anyone tried NewsBreak? (http://www.iliumsoft.com/site/nw/newsbreak.htm)
i've not got my Exec with me today, but from the website, it looks similar to avantgo - it might do as an alternative?

Works perfectly in Magician. Simple, useful and discrete.
Wow, Illiumsoft do some great stuff, don't they? I already have ListPro, probably getting eWallet... and now this?
The thing is, Avantgo is free, where as this is $30 :?
AvantGo update
from the AvantGo website:
"AvantGo is currently Quality Assurance testing for Windows Mobile 5.0 and it has not been "officially" supported because of issues mentioned below. We do hope to have a fully supported version out in early 2006.
If you still wish to use AvantGo software on a Windows Mobile 05 device AvantGo version 5.7.53 or above is required.
Users may encounter the following:
-Previous MS ActiveSync users will have to remove MS Active Sync and AvantGo before installing the MS Active Sync 4.0 for Windows Mobile 05. Otherwise we have seen that the desktop and the device will not communicate.
- Problems syncing with Active Sync: If you experience problems syncing through Active Sync you may initiate an AvantGo synchronization from the AvantGo browser. Click here for instructions.
- VGA display issues: AvantGo optimization for VGA screens are not yet available. All content will be double-sized by the device.
- Options panel layout issues: The browser options panels and AvantGo Connect may not show text or buttons properly for the available screen width."
The WM5 development kit has been out for months and months. Actual devices for at least a couple of months. Maybe if AvantGo and so many other vendors who are completely unprepared for WM5 would have gotten off their a$$es and started develpment earlier, we wouldn't have to wait until "early 2006" for them to support their product properly. WM5 compatibility is not optional :evil:
Maybe if we were actually handing money over to Avantgo they would have a reason to do it quicker. As it is we pay nothing. Just relax and wait. It will be worth it.
FYI: Tweaks2K2 .NET version 3.15.0 fixes the Oversize problem in WM2005.
Use feature #75-Double Pixeling deactivation for individual programs in VGA Devices.
Hi all... does anyone know about T-Mobile UK, and if they about to release upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.0?
My current Windows is way too slow, a friend upgraded his same phone with a 6.0 version he found on the net (illegal version I guess) but it looks fantastic, and is way faster than the previous.
Thanks!
I work for TMUK & have checked this (as I have a vario II myself!). There are no plans to release an official WM6 upgrade, the focus is on the new WM6 devices (touch & vario 3).
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news!

there is what appears to be a beta tmobile wm6 rom about (you can find links to it in the Hermes Mobile 6 forum), which is very good indeed. Apparently tmo aren't going to release it though, but tmo uk's whole treatment of htc devices seems to be a bit random anyway, so you never know.
more...
I went to the T-mobile store (Uk) and asked about the upgrade. He said should be no problem downloading WM6 from Windows website, and should not worry with warranty as Im already over the 12 month warranty period. Ive been everywhere on Microsoft's website, but cant find any download! (???) Besides would that cause probs as the phone is locked to T-Mobile?
Anyone help here, please. Im not an expert (Im bit fed up to how slow WM5 compared having a 400mhz processor!)
you could either look on here for the htc original hermes rom, the t-mobile test rom, they are both for wm6, infact any rom in the hermes forum works superbly.
Sorry to ask stuipid questions, but what bennifits will i see if i upgrade to WM6 from WM5? My hermes seems to be running pretty well with WM5 but maybe im missing something.
Thanks
There's a whole forum for WM6 ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=355 )discussion and tons of info to cover all of the above. If you want to know about the different ROm's pluses, minuses etc read the stickies. Still, why anyone would want a TMo ROM is beyond me, loads of extra stuff you never use and a dial pad in PINK...
wm6, no real difference
i just thought I would add to this thread and say that there arent any real major differences in windows mobile 5 & 6, the email is the only big advantage in that outlook can display html messages but, in good old microsoft design, you have to upgrade the server side of things (ie, exchange 2003 to exchange 2007).
Mail2web (which i use for push email) only uses exchange 2003 so you still get your emails in plain text.
Microsoft did a good job of dressing up windows mobile 6 as something its not but, having said that the hermes and its software beats sloppy nokia's and sony ericssons hands down!
So this web site is is crowing about new versions of windows live apps, with more (or reinstated) features like photo upload and live messenger... but all the download links lead in a circle (when they don't get caught by the popup blocker).
Does anyone have an actual download of these apps?
http://www.windowsliveformobile.com/en-us/home/default.aspx
If you're referring to what I think you are referring to, I don't they are out yet
No wonder the web site looks like it's half finished. Whoever set it to live should be fired.
And dude. Hi, neighbor.
i think it will show up here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/mobile/wl/download-en-us.mspx
right now they have 10.6.0042.800
but i remember reading somewhete that they will be releasing a new version on thursday, thats tomrrow, so i'm waiting to see what they have instore for the new version. plus the funny thing is in build 6.5 21198 they 10.6.0052.900 so it might be that build they're talking about. the 0052.900 build is not much different from the other builds but i do like the slide left/right functionality though.
Here is the news as it is ..

It's up now,
http://mobile.microsoft.com/live/En-US/mobile/default.mspx
Version is v10.06.0046.0800
Older than the latest that is around here, v10.06.0050.2700
Anybody want to confirm messenger will indeed install (on Verizon). If not I will keep what I have.
edit: yeah it works sweet! Now if only I can find what changed/fixed from the version I used to have...
Installed on my VZW XV6900.
Will there ever be
A version that actually works and does not come up with the network connection issue ?
seems to work well....actually fixed an issue I had with the stock Touch Pro ROM (the new one) where Messenger didn't work on my phone (it would close immediately after opening).
installed and so far it is working great. no problems at (soft reset after instll). it seems scrolling large emails filled with images have been improved but really not sure about that, maybe its just the speed of the 21198 build. but all in all its great. i wish they had the dinamic backgrounds like they have on the desktop.

Looks good, thanks!
Wait, where is this latest version? I searched for that version number, but nothing is coming up.
Has anyone figured out how to get the photo upload to work? Uploading photos to your live space is advertised as a feature, but I don't see any kind of interface for it.

When it becomes available for windows mobile i was just wondering if anyone would use it? To me it seems like a great idea that could really take off. Hopefully someday it will be active in the UK too .
i
Also anyone actually using it on there android phones?
http://www.waze.com/
It does look a great idea. Fingers crossed it comes to the UK and WM.
Waze has come a long way since this thread was started three years ago. Today, available for iphone and Android, I believe it will someday be the number one navigation app. It will be interesting to see what new features will be implimented in their Version 3.5, which will be released soon.
I have installed and tryed out about seven GPS navigation apps. So far, the more I use Waze, the more I like it. I have signed up to be a Beta tester.
