how can you say its not possible to upgrade 2020i to WM6. The device is fantastic and i compare it with 9100 and is best. And in 9100 its possible. i dont understand.
There is not WM5 on Alpine, how can be WM6 on it ? Yes it is capable of running it but also capable are Himalaya and Blueangel and Magician but there is not WM6 for them
I Disagree

Sorry to disappoint you, but there is WM6 for Blueangel, not official but I have it working on mine.
there is also one for himalaya
makes more sense too that wm6 comes for devices which
already had wm5
being that wm5 and wm6 both are based on win CE5
so many drivers could be compatible
unlike manyy win CE4 drivers (what 2003 is based on)

Looking at the MDA Compact II, the only main difference from our Magician is the processor. All other hardware is presumably the same as the Magician's (memory size is not significant).
So ..... if 3rd party software can run on any of the CPUs, why cant' WM5? Or is it that 3rd party software for the TI OMAP processor is compiled specifically for that CPU?
Just wondering :?
WM5 probably could run on Magician and potentially any device.
I'm not educated enough to answer correctly, but AFAIK anyone can build WM5 for the Magician using platform builder, but getting it work is the problem. We don't have compatible drivers etc specifically written for the device (as you can see with some of the WM5 builds for blue angel). So without proper drivers for all the hardware, it won't be "compatible" with all of the hardware.
Mamaich is the man for this question though. His Wizard ROM should open up doors I imagine.

I'm well aware of the drivers issue but with an MDA Compact II ROM the drivers should work just fine as it is essentially the same hardware. No?
More specifically, my question should be: is it JUST the different processor that won't allow us to use a WM5 Compact II ROM on our Magician? And if it is so, how come? (if 3rd party sofware can run on both processors with the same build?)
Actually, went down to a computer store on Friday and tested the HP IPAQ 1950. It only had 64MB ROM and 32MB RAM and 300MHz but it was very fast to operate which is surprising. Faster than an O2 mini display model.
Note that all display models only have factory settings with software that comes preinstalled. Comparing an O2 mini 64MB RAM/64 MB ROM 416MHz WM2003SE with an HP rx1950 32MB RAM/64MB ROM 300MHz WM 5.0, the rx1950 felt faster plus the HP screen was 3.5" as well.
I guess i they wanted to release an upgrade to WM 5.0 for the O2 mini/iMate JAM they could but why bother because they'll make more money selling the next model with WM 5.0
I think the O2mini noob is absolutely right. They just want to sell new Devices. Why else don't they give an Update to WM5 for XDA II / III although there are unofficial leaks?
Why they don't want to release WM5 for the Magician is pretty obvious now, look at HTC Charmer and HTC Prophet ... but the question is why can't we have a COOKED ROM from the HTC Charmer? What is the technical reason why an HTC Charmer/MDA Compact II ROM does not work on the Magician?
Well for a start the nbf for the t-mob charmer will need to a bit of chopping first to fit on a magician, since its 72mb. plenty of room on the charmers 128mb rom but not for the magician.
Hahaha..
Just wondering if wm5 is not for Alpine.. then how about wm6?

I want WM6 (Crossbow) for my Alpine too but I don't know why pof linked to the Linux thread? :?
Bug or feature?
Even WM5 not available for Alpine, how could WM6 will be available? Think about it!
Okay, you're right! A short but cool dream! :'(
how about wm6?..maybe it is easier to get it!!!
ok ok...I don't understand the real problem of our alpine, I had a 2020 in the past and I decide to change with the alpine thinking it was better (and it really is), but no one want to focuse the attention to wm5 or wm6 even if there is wm5 for the 2020...why??
we have more power, more memory, wifi ....what's the problem!!!
I am not an expert in this field,but a good informatic engineer could change wm5 for 2020 to one for alpine.
I am very upset beacuse a lot of programs are just for wm5...
when is WM6 or WM5 coming for Alpine as there is alot program that uses Wm5 nowsaday.
Really Wishes Alpine will resurrect from the day, as it became popular with it high specification and WM2003SE to present WM5 or WM6
Go Alpine...
Think it over,HTC shows no mercy to us who baught 699,Then we shall **** it up!
Why don't you do it

If it's that easy, why don't you do it???: And don't be upset...
Seems like a dejavu, just like my old 6365. HP is deciding not to upgrade any of their PDA to WM6
http://mobilitytoday.com/news/no_wm6_ipaq.html
Probably HP does not making $$$ from the selling of mobile.
is there any possiblility of using a Atom WM6 rom?
Maybe you got to wait for Atom Exec to be with WM6 before any hope for ur HP.
I don't suppose it could be work to use ATOM's rom.
I have Qtek 2020i and Windows Mobile 2003 second edition. I will upgrade to Windows Mobile 2005 or WM 2006. It is possible... ?
there is no wm5 for that device
it is abit impossible as Himalaya and apline hardware are different. I used to owe this device and hope there is a WM5 or WM6. Advise is to change to a new device or trade in, top up.
Hi,
In my first Athena, i have upgraded to wm6.
the major of this upgrade was the possibility to execute RealVGA soft by Tobias.
But, the BT stack has any problems (with BT-1.2 headsets).
In my actual Athena, i don't have upgraded to wm6.
the major is the good implementation of BT stack, that works fine, even with my LG Style-i.
But, the RealVGA don't works and the ozVGA and mvrTrueVGA hacks are very limited...
Please, feedback with the OS what you use in your Athena.
Regards,
Bart
Upgraded to Black Dual by PK, after Black Touch and all, so WM6, but not because of WM6 itself, only because the Athena Project builds upon it.
