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!
I'm using the Orange France version of the TD and I seem to have a problem when browsing with PIE, it's not showing mobile sites like my other PDAs and notable the TyTn II, case in point : the mobile version of eBay http://wap2.bonfiremedia.com/ebayserver/servlet/Controller?Command=WapMainMenu that shows as pure text and doesn't work properly as a result, when the TyTn II shows pretty much like IE or FFox with the picture and formatted menus.
Anyone seen that problem before? I tried tweaking the User Agent with Kaiser Tweak or PIEPlus but no go :-(

Opera unveils turbo-charged browsing at Mobile World Congress 2009
Oslo, Norway and Barcelona, Spain – February 12, 2009
Just when you thought browsing couldn't get any faster, Opera unveils its latest innovation for better browsing, Opera Turbo. This all-new, turbo-charged way to surf will make its exclusive appearance at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona from February 16-19, 2009.
To be available for business customers on Opera Desktop, Opera Mobile and Opera Devices SDK, Opera Turbo compresses bandwidth consumption. By processing data being sent to a mobile phone or a PC by up to 80 percent, operators will be able to reduce network traffic and save on data transmissions. This helps to extend the longevity of their mobile network investments. For device manufacturers, Opera Turbo provides a faster browsing application that can leverage device capabilities and utilize hardware resources more effectively. By leveraging Opera Turbo, operators and OEMs can provide a faster browsing experience to their end-users, independent of network constraints or hardware limitations.
Due to Opera Turbo's advanced compression technology, even devices with limited hardware capabilities show improved page download rates and better overall performance. By leveraging its experience with server-side optimization solutions such as Opera Mini, Opera Software is extending optimization to encompass other Opera browser products. Opera Turbo is able to reduce the size of the transferred page without transcoding the page. Opera Turbo offers full support for dynamic Web technologies such as Ajax and Flash - these are not compressed by Opera Turbo.
Opera Turbo supports Opera's belief in "One Web", providing equal access to the Internet regardless of the device or network quality. Opera has focused on a way to improve performance and the overall speed of its browser under any condition, whether surfing from a limited mobile phone in a remote location or with an early model desktop computer on a dial-up modem. To Opera, One Web means being able to take the one true Web and make it available to people on their own terms. Opera believes that circumstances should not dictate how its browser performs, and Opera Turbo is a way to ensure the best browsing possible anytime, anywhere.
"We are living in a time and place where access to the Web should be a universal right to all. Technology has advanced us to the point that we can very nearly access the Internet anytime and anywhere from a growing number of devices," said Jon von Tetzchner, CEO, Opera Software. "As part of Opera's commitment to provide the best experience on any device, Opera has developed the Opera Turbo solution. The Mobile World Congress serves as a forum for us to educate others on the wonders of Web technology."
See it to believe it at Opera's Mobile World Congress exhibit (Hall 2, Stand 2B77). Mobile World Congress participants will also have the ability to experience Opera on a variety of devices: Opera Mobile on smartphones such as HTC HD, Samsung Omnia and Sony Ericsson Xperia, free downloads of Opera Mini, improved Web browsing on gaming consoles and the ARCHOS Generation 5 Media players will be just a few of the exciting features of Opera's 2009 exhibit.
Mobile World Congress will be held from 16th to 19th February in 2009 in Barcelona, Spain. Visit the Opera Booth in Hall 2, 2B77. For media inquiries, please contact [email protected]

nice one
Hello,
I have seen the new Toshiba TG01 provided by Orange FR and in this one, there is a standalone application for the TV (which allow you not going on internet with Opera and going to the web site for TV/Videos).
This application was also in the Diamond, it seems.
Does anybody knows about this software from Orange and know how to install it on the HTC Touch Pro 2?
Thanks in advance.
Dear community,
thank you so much for this huge forum and your many efforts to help new smartphone users like me in getting used to Windows Mobile.
Please let me first give some info about my device:
-Samsung OmniaPro B7610
-Windows Mobile 6.1
-afaik, there is no branding on the phone
Since I do not have an internet flatrate in my mobile contract, I was looking for a complete-no-cost navigation software for my phone. Thus I found We-Travel.
When I wanted to install We-Travel, my Java KVM (Aplix Jblend 20090908a) told me that there is a problem with the authentification of the certificate (Note: It did not say that the certificate is expired!).
So, after several forum threats, I came to the conclusion that my KVM was causing the trouble. I replaced it by a late Esmertec version - the installation of We-Travel worked without any problems. However, I could not use the software, since my display does not show me information about what is currently running when I start We-Travel. The installation of We-Travel itself was strange, as well. The phone asked me several times to choose "Yes" or "No", but the display did not show for what to choose.
Now that I have installed Esmertec, the KVM does not tell me any info about the current installed KVM-version. I tried Jbed 20090506.2.1 ,20090416.5.1 and 20090217.5.1.
For better understanding, I made two screenshots.
This is the home-screen when I open Esmertec:
(I am not allowed to post outside links...)
Here you can see the "About-screen" where normally version-infos are displayed:
(I am not allowed to post outside links...)
As you can see, there is no input there, no matter which of the 3 versions I install on the phone.
Esmertec is also not shown at "installed programms", and I cannot reinstall Aplic Jblend since I do not have the .cab on my phone and cannot find a late version to download.
I tried several soft-resets before and after the isntallation of Esmertec - did not solve anything.
Do you have any idea what to do?
There are not many alternatives to Esmertec - I would love to use this KVM...
Thank you so much for reading until here - maybe someone has an idea?
Warm regards
