let's just say if i do share this ROM, there will be no more testing for me in the future and also i will be in deep trouble. It's a risk i can't take. But good news is I can confirm the WM6 update is coming really soon now.
Sorry to be the one to ask this but what is considered soon? By the end of the month. I can't wait for the stability of WM6. I was spoiled with my Hermes. I forgot what it was like to run WM5.

there you go, someone answer for me. Official release is said to be out next month. I will be getting beta version at the end of the month of beginning of next month. Hopefully they won't delay on the official release.
p.s. Oh, by the way, this time line only applys to DOPOD, HTC might have similar time line too. But T-mobile Ameo user should expect a slide delay if T-mobile ever wanted to release the WM6 for Ameo.
ok
We know about the official release from Dopod, but this ~internal beta testing~ is really internal.
Someone needs to share, the potential of this device only will be explored with WM6...
Meanwhile , I'm still using my Universal....
and next week... The Jesus Phone (aka Iphone)
Why is everyone so kean on WM6 - the official blurb I read only seemed to be rae about html email - is wm6 really worth reinstalling everything? (when it comes ...)
Yes it is. I had a Hermes for the past 10 months and upgraded to WM6 as soon as XDA came out with it. Even from the very first beta versions it was more stable and faster than an official WM5 version. And remember the WM6 versions I was using had been hacked up and stuff added and taken away. Even with all that I would never soft reset it during the day to unfreeze it or to get the memory back that programs had leaked. Grant it there were still programs that had problems due to incompatibility with WM6. But overall it is a faster and smoother operating system.
more bad news...

HTC is also offering WM6 upgrades for the most popular devices in its current range. This includes recently launched “messaging” products, which will enjoy the greatest benefits of Windows Mobile 6, such as the HTC Advantage, the HTC TyTN, the HTC S620, and the HTC P4350. The upgrade will also be available for the award-winning HTC P3300, plus some of our operator-branded devices. The upgrades will be rolled out from June, in line with our operator partners’ strategies.

according to HTC europe, the release date for the Athena's WM6 is early September...
It wont matter, come August Advantage X7501 is out which ships with WM6. Once someone gets hold of this we will get a ported WM6 ROM.

I'm pretty confident given the Vast similarities of the devices someone on these boards will be able to easily and readily do the port. Therefore I confer my previous statement that once X7501 is released, we will have a WM6 ROM, none of this waiting for September business.

that is very true, anyway, from what i know and the beta testing going on, the wm6 is still possible to be launch in July, so if lucky, you will get it before x7501 comes out. Second, don't forget you need to CID Unlock your device before flashing x7501.

Today they emailed me a "change" in their terms and conditions, and linked to a lengthy Ts&Cs page. Trouble is, they don't highlight what has changed and I have no patience to re-read the entire thing.
Same here, new contract, don't you hate it when they do that, I always feel like they are trying to hide something by sending the entire contract without pointing out exactly what has been added or changed! Perhaps it's just paranoia on my part <twitch>
I am hoping that the wait for the new O2 rom will mean we will all be pleasantly suprised at it's content, but don't hold your breath. I can just see it now on XDA Developers when it is released... "Why did we have to wait so long for this new ROM, it's crap!"
Oh well, figers crossed
Regards
There is a new build currently in test, based on the 1.30 ROM and 1.09 Radio stack. It will be without A2DP functionality.

Pretty good, screen switching is faster than O2, phone signal seems pretty stable. Can't comment on the memory leak issues, because I'm not sure when the memory is being used for cache or when it is really leaked.
WiFi network finder has some nice changes, LIST of available networks now shows signal strength too, and alarms now have a "dismiss until 5 mins before event" thing - neat!
Thanks Doody, I think I'll give it a go tonight.

Technically it would be possible.
But we all depend on the manufacturers. If they don't supply us with upgrades, there's no way we can upgrade. So asking for it is of no use.

You could look to the magician forum and the number of threads there sugesting the release or possible release of the WM 5 update for the Magician.
But it never came.
If it comes it wil. There's no point to ask for is if it comes out it wil be on this site and forum. Its just foolish jiberish to keep asking for it. Its the same as all the people asking for an hack for the Hero devivce to enable wifi. But its simply not possible. But there are already 20 threads suggesting it....

yea! who are u to decide weather this thread is to be closed or not!!!
If u are not open enough to discussions, then what is the meaning of u hanging around in this forum!
Today, my cousin had just installed the WM6.0 in his O2 Xda MiniS, and when i saw it, i was thrilled! its super fast! it looks real cool, and the contacts, dialer and inbox are wonderful!
only thing is it requires Activesync 4.50 beta to sync.
The WM6.0 is testing roms are out for the Universal and the Mini S, and soon i hope someone comes up for the Artemis too!
Yeah, if ya don't ask, ya don't get!! Somebody might be sat at home with the rom we want, thinking no one else is bothered, so they keep it to themselves. I know there is several differences between Artemis & Phophet, but might it be possible to flash with 1 of there Roms?? Just asking!!?? No need to bite my head off, Manners cost nothing.
WHEN USERS HAVE MDA COMPACT THEY NEEDS WM2005
WHEN THEY HAVE MDA C3 THEY NEEDS CROSSBOW
IT IS FUNNY
and i need im my pda windows vista
or xp will be good
pleas help
as far as i know this device only accepts signed code in roms....so unless some one cracks the boot loader you will never be able to flash a custom rom...
in another hand .....i heard that there is a a test crossbow rom for your device,being tested by internal testers.....but this roms rarely see the light of the day.... but you never know.

We are close to that in Artemis... they should be able soon
The HTC Wizard + HTC Universal (which are designed as WM5 devices) have WM6 ROMs so.. there's a really BIG chance that the HTC Artemis will get the WM6 update too..
WM6 a.k.a. Crossbow is just a ROM that has some updates + new theme..
Why is it called WM6 then? Cuz people are bored and they're really waiting for some NEW sh*t! It just counts as a lil entertainment for us while we're waiting.
“Crossbow” (Q4 ‘06)
- Great mobile messaging
- Advanced Business and Enterprise propositions
- Strengthened phone experience
- Faster, easier application development and distribution
- Q1/Q2 ‘07 Marketing Launch
“Photon” (Q4 ‘07)
- New, Flexible Shell
- Modular Containers
- “Yamazaki” CE kernel
- Q1/Q2 ’08 Marketing Launch
Conclusion WM6 = WM5 + Plus!
will \wm6 crossbow (wwe) for htc wizard v5.2.660 work?
I was wondering, once there is ROM available for P3300 based on Crossbow "WM6", for this to be lfashed and updated to newer WM will I also need to CID unlock the phone first, as I am unable to flash other ROMs as of now.
Frankly speeking, ~$40 is steep price for unclocking, around $20 would be OK (please consider this ... to unlockers)

If a update is released by your manufacturer you would not need to unlock but if for instance you have a t-mobile phone and dopod comes with wm6, and you want to use that rom you would have to cid unlock.
Had this reply from Dopod Australia's support yesterday to me enquiry "Hi, I was wondering if there were any plans to release Windows Mobile 6 for the p800w in the near future?":
Hi,
It might be possible. We are waiting for Microsoft to inform us about this.
We will keep you posted.

If and when you do a search on Google, you will most likely find website that will unlock your machine for about $7
Not saying that this will work on yours, but if you really want to be on the safe(save) side, just pay the $40 and you'll be 100% sure that it works.

Thanks for the input. Do we know if Dopod will issue a WM6 upgrade to its early adopters or will the U1000 be yet another device that gets stuck with the OS version that it is delivered with?
In HTC/Dopod's history and attitude towards its loyal early adaptor....
It is very likely we need to get WM6 via unoffical channel. (Like Hermes)
Especially, the model# change from 7500/ 7501...

Hah. www.dopodasia.com says new products from April 07 will come with WM6... Might as well wait a few more weeks before making a decision. Thanks for the pointer.
U1000 is no longer a "new" product.
I decided to try it on the 10 ROM.
And.............
My read speed a little more than doubled on the Sony SD and actually tripled on my crappy Patriot SD.
Figured some one else should confirm my results.
It didn't make ANY difference in my write speed for either card though.

Dear Richard Thank you for your enquiry about ROM features.

Because of the 'With HTC Sense'? Yeah that would be failure. Maybe just wright the word 'NOT' with a pen. 'With HTC Sense. NOT' xD
Anyway, from what I am reading it is clear that they are thinking about what to do with the HD2 regarding WinMo7. I think HTC will make some kind of new 'Sense' interface for WM7. MicroSoft just wants to sell the first Windows Phone 7 Series without to much 'Sense/TouchWiz' etc. To give the HTC HD2 owners a custom WM7 version with some kind of Sense on top would not effect them that much I think. And, again, we HD2 owners would be a good 'test' for them to see how Sense + WM7 works out.
Or else, during a meeting somebody goes 'you know what, let's just stop thinking about it. We are giving them 6.5.3. That's enough. The e-mail guys will get payed double this month to reply to all the hate messages'.

For example finally fw version without annoying bugs I hope.
But anyway I really feel like something is cooking because for our region there is still no 1.66 version almost month after released everywhere else.
1.Maybe because it makes no sense for them to port the bugfixes for our region when some bigger upgrade is coming (like 6.5.x?) or …
2. they are just do not care about our stupid problems to use their devices.
I hope it is No.1

Or not considering MS requires the OSs' home screen to be intact bar any OEM customization. Basically that means the screen as we've seen it will stay as is but HTC will likely add custom 'live tile's such as weather or stocks and change the 'default' colors.
