WM 6 is comming????!!!!!!! (HTC P4350)

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.

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.

Pester T-Mobile UK for ROM Release!

Hi Guys
Now that HTC have said they are releasing a WM6 upgrade for the Tytn and other operators (see here)
I think it is time we started a mass pester on T-Mobile UK to release the Vario 2 Rom and Rom Updates, I have had mine since October of last year and so far it seems all other operators are providing the original rom and the rom updates except T-Mobile.
Think a massive email spam from all Vario 2 users on here would help to put the pressure on, if not just annoy them enough to stop giving us the same old answer....
Here to complain

I tried that a few weeks back, and they gave me a flat out "no" and the main bulk of their message was that if I wanted WM 6 then I would have to purchase a newer device.

What a load of drivel from them, they are being ultimate t****rs, I have sent another spam mail to them asking what is going on!
I am doubtful I will get a decent reply. What is annoying is HTC are providing the ROM royalty free to the operators! Why are the end users not seeing the benefits in a rom release from them, even the original rom isn't being released as of yet. I know we have the hard work of Cluster, JJ and others creating WM6 but it would be nice of T-Mobile UK to support their users!
Sorry to rant just getting a little miffed off with them!

I know the feeling i've got both the mda's on t-mobile uk and i've seen a rom update (not wm6 mind up the aku 3.3 update) for the mda vario but not the vario 2, so to get wm6 like i'm running on the hermes i had to use a rom that i downloaded from xda. if i have to send it back to be repaired i'm buggerd as t-mobile dont have a rom download for it so i can download to wm5, looks like t-mobile uk are supporting the ameo now and the newer devices

I have send them a uber snotty email I wanna know why there is a lack of support for the device after only 9months!

A response and its not a no or a yes
Thank you for your further Email.
There has been discussions regarding a ROM update for the MDA Vario II to upgrade to Windows Mobile 6, however there has been no clarification as to whether T-Mobile will be providing this as yet.
Any ROM update that is available for any of T-Mobile`s SDA and MDA range of handsets will always be updated onto the following T-Mobile run download website, the link for this is as follows:
www.tm-phonedownloads.com
I would recommend trying this site periodically for any updates or possibly enquire at a later date for any developments.
I am sorry if this is not the answer you were hoping for.
If we can help further please do not hesitate to contact us.
Best regards,
David McAnally

[T-Mobile UK] WM 6 Upgrade ?

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
Retronana

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.

Touch by HTC, so yes

Update
How and when can i update my device???

How: Via USB ... Ok ok, I think it will be same way we do now with the ROM upgrade utility, but probably packaged in some installer like most of the official upgrades.
When: 6.1 just got announced, its up to HTC and the mobile operators to decide when they release an upgrade.

Nobody is really sure, read the post of N_urk, maybe read it twice. There is some info in there.

At Least I'm Running Custom Rom with WM 6.1 Pro already =D

custom cooked roms
Hi all,
I just bought a touch 1 gen ... i heard from a friend that it'll take awhile because HTC has a tendency to release it after they have marketed all their new 6.1 loaded devices ... i guess its their marketing strategy
meanwhile, can anyone tell me any interesting 6.1 Roms i can look at ... thanks.
lud

Wait wait wait......so we who own HTC Touch (GSM) have to wait for HTC to ship out the update? We just can't.....update?

wm 6.1 update
wow .. so basically the update wont be coming for a while ... does anybody know if the 6.1 roms are even worth putting on the device??

Doesn't seem like there's much in the 6.1 upgrade for WM-Pro users though, most changes are in the smartphone version.

I have it too
I use the customer WM6.1 Pro for HTC Touch, and I like it.. there ar a lot of flavors: lite and full, with more (or less) free ram for othr apps, etc.
http://www.comunidadwindowsmobile.es/index.php?action=forum

Whats the difference(s) between WM6 Pro and WM 6.1 anyway? I've done some reading on it but no where does it really say whats so different. I've even gone and looked at videos of it on youtube. Other then what looks like a new skin theme doesnt look like anything else really and I am sure theres more to it. Do you have finger gestures now built right into HTC home? Like swiping left to get to your schedual and what not? What about the HTC home... is that any different?
Here's what I've gotten so far:
Threaded SMS messages
New Internet Explorer
Runs a little smoother
But... whats the big WOW with the upgrade?
Thanks!

ok wm6.1 was in beta for awhile i think it still is but it has since been perfected and is released... but the only way to get it right now is using the customn roms which is way better then using any other rom found any where else trust me ive tried them all and cutoms the way to go!!
and the big wow is the fixed all the bugs in it the stopped the memory leak increased speed. made tit very stable, reduced the size of the os system it self also the did many different registery hacks and edits to make it much better, they added a prgram that is called getting started which helps with alot of stuf and it isnt just a step by step its a good program,
theres no new gestures like that but theres many programs that do that that can be added on such as spb shell 2.0 umm pointui and ultimate lauinch.... trust me its worth upgrading and ive had every system out there wm5.0 symbian wm6.0 and now 6.1 and now im working on making a wm7 like program but using 6.1 as a base

HTC WM 6.1
I have contacted hTC, the WM 6.1 update is not available yet, they are still working out the errors etc. but in a while, they would release the update.
check back http://www.asia.htc.com/asia/hk/index.html

Also cant just some forum member coock fimmware with all features of HTC for our HTC Touch Elf?

What HTC says about new official WM6.5.3 ROM

Hello!
I send to HTC a mail with a question will and when will be a new ROM upgrade to a new WM6.5.3. for HD2.
Here is HTC answer:
"Dear QQQ,
Thank you for contacting us,
Kindly note that your device was manufactured for the Czech Republic. So regarding any updates or hotfixes for your phone it’ll be through the Czech Republic page. However, the compatible Rom Upgrade for your phone is not yet released on that page. But it should be released soon. Kindly check on our website from time to time regarding new releases for new softwares."
So does it mean it will be or it will be only a new ROM with "old" WM6.5?
What do you think?

The answer is not really and the guy from HTC who answered doesn't seem to know what you were talking about when you mentionned WM6.5.3...
I don't think we should wait for a 6.5.3 upgrade, 'cause even if it's a minor upgrade, it's the same situation than for the HD which was released with WM6.1 and never upgraded officially with WM6.5 :/

Which is why I cant wait for WP7S at least then we'll get OTA updates straight away instead of having to wait for htc or phone operators to offer up a updated ROM

It would be very sad if they dont make compatabile 6.5.3 ROM for HD2. It's silly if they just stop in inventing in HD2

Well lucky for us, we have XDA.

wow he was really talking out his a$$ it would of been announce one way or another through some blog. now and days its hard for some one to keep things in the low especially HTC now that their getting to be bigger and bigger by the minute. i would see that coming from palm or danger (sidekick) nobody even cares about them any more so if they release some update nobody would really care other than device owners. sorry for getting out of the topic a bit but 6.5.3 would see the light by the end of the end of year microsoft putting all their brains on windows 7. hd2 for t-mobile might be the last windows 6.5 of the year in a american carrier

I ask this question to HTC: "Is the HTC HD2 going to get a windows mobile 6.5.3 ROM upgrade?"
And this is their answer: "Dear Eric Lui, Thank you for choosing HTC! Regarding to ROM update issue, we are sorry to inform you that currently we do not have the information of the WM6.5.3 ROM upgrade for HTC HD2. If any update in future, HTC will release the news on the website once any update, Please pay attention to our Official website for the update. In addition, we had recorded your information, and we will inform you in advance once any update related with HTC HD2. Thanks a lot for your understanding and cooperation."
Hope this can help.

HTC releases too many devices and they actually don't care of upgrades for current devices. Even if it's hi-end device like HD2. They will rather release HD3 than make official WM6.5.3 ROM for HD2. You have to pay for anything
I'm using Samsung Omnia II. I like this phone and i like Samsung attitude to their products. It came originally with WM6.1. Then it got upgrade to WM6.5. Now it get another upgrade to WM6.5.3. Same phone - 2 major upgrades.
Yes, it's possible to make your own WM6.5.3 ROM, but alas you can not tweak all OEM applications to be compatible with 6.5.3. That's why official upgrade is the key point.
Without official upgrade to 6.5.3 from HTC, user won't get normal HTC dialer/callerID. They will stick either to 235xx builds or add workaround to fix incompatibility. I even don't mention about minor graphics issues after migrating from 6.5 to 6.5.3.
