***READ: Windows Mobile 2005 and XDAIIs/MDAIII/PDA2K/etc *** - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading
Please read this before asking questions!
As of this time, there is no Blue Angel-compatible CE ROM of Windows Mobile 5 to date, in beta or final form, in circulation nor available for examination or experimentation to us.
As of this time, there are no official or unofficial plans or announcements by any manufacturer, distributor, or wireless carrier.
Please do not create new threads or post off-topic in current threads that are in regards to this UNLESS you have witnessed firsthand that one does exist or that you are or can be in possession of a Blue Angel device that has actual Windows Mobile 5 code on it.
As soon as we can get our hands on a test ROM, we will let you know as soon as possible.
Thank you.
Thanks to BeyondtheTech for the idea and text.
Thank you!!! It's about time a post like this appeared.
also not fort he qtek S100 or the mda compact of the magician ?
Possible work around
Well its a thought

If you have comments post to that thread
This was posted today at PocketPCThoughts:
"We have mentioned to our customers that we need several months to add combine additional elements, such as the radio and Bluetooth hardware and software, we require to produce fully integrated PDA's and Smartphones. We will be launching some exciting new products that run on Windows Mobile 5.0 later in the year. We have made an assessment of our current devices and it is unlikely that current products will run Windows Mobile 5.0."
This excerpt comes from an email sent to one of our longtime readers, Paragon, regarding his query on the possibility that current i-mates would get a 2005 upgrade. While I can sympathize with those users who own current i-mates, I really can't say I'm surprised at the news. Windows Mobile 2005 seems to me to be a much major upgrade than 2002 - 2003 or 2003 to 2003 SE, and because of that, manufacturers are probably hard pressed to take hardware suited for one platform and make it work on upgrade of that platform.
But I guess we can always hope - anyone going to keep holding their breath that i-mate will change it's mind?

I guess this is the final call by them. I am trying to verify that. Very odd, since the PDA2K and the PDA2 both seem to have good hardware specs for fitting to the new OS
Do not expect that microsoft will goin to release a magneto for XDA, XDA II, XDA IIs, XDA IImini, XDA IIi. The magneto is not free for upgrade although some has allowed to have a free upgrade like iPaq but ill tell you there will no official release ever happen. the Second Edition isnt for all himalaya users except for dopod.
double_ofour,
You have a basic mistake in your assumption:
Microsoft doesn't release specific versions of the OS for each device. Microsoft releases the Kernel of the OS, and each device maker releases the version for their own device.
So we shouldn't be expecting that Microsoft will be releasing an upgrade for HTC's devices, but we should expect that from HTC. Many device makers release the upgrades for prices around $30 (when they don't want to do it for free), so this could be possible.
doesn't the Himalaya also have 64 MB ROM? if that is true why not create Windows MObile 5 for the blue angel?

Don't think it will do any good, but i'm guessing that a BAx is on the way, and that Rom is propperly portable to our BA

There is absolutly no information of a BAx.
Like I Wrote, I'm guessing there is a BAx on the way
Look at the other models, they are coming with small upgrades, so why shouldent the BA come with a small upgrade, and if it does, why would it come with WM2003SE when WM2005 is the thing people wants.

Crossbow on HTC P4350?
Because of the lack of a dedicated forum for HTC P4350, i will post my question here. If you look at the specs for the P4350, they are (almost) similar to the Wizard. Look here: Wizard: http://www.gsmarena.com/qtek_9100-1257.php P4350: http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_p4350-1781.php My question are: Will the Crossbow WWE work on that device? My problem is that after falling in love with Crossbow on my 9100, I dont even concider bying a new device! :-( But if anyone of the more experienced users (contributors) here, can tell me wheter Crossbow on P4350 will work, im gonna stick with my tired old 9100
Anyone? :-(

Attention Gurus of Cooking
Dear Gurus The Windows Crossbow will be official at 3GSM 2007 this coming 14 Feb, 2007. Will after its official release would we see a new ROM based on Crossbow from our beloved gurus. There will be no more illegal stuff right after its release.
paindoo said: Dear Gurus There will be no more illegal stuff right after its release. Click to expand... Click to collapse Ummm... No, there will be illegal still unless HTC release the WM6 CB for the wizard. History has shown you that HTC will not offer upgrade for its old models. HP and Eten did do that although Eten required you to pay for the WM5 upgraded for the Eten M500.

Any information about WM6 and the MteoR?
Does anybody know what the plans are voor Windows Mobile 6 and the MteoR (Breeze)? I'm very curious about the plans from HTC to publish a (free) rom upgrade
Does anybody know if it is possible to use a WM6 .bin file of another HTC device?
Reply from HTC Europe support Mar 15: "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.Or check our website."
Believing Microsoft, there will be NO update for ANY smartphone. A big differece to PPC-phones.
According to http://www.qtek.se/sweden/nyheter/senaste_nytt.aspx, free WM6 upgrades will be made available for the following HTC models: HTC Advantage (X7500) HTC S620 HTC TyTN HTC P4350 HTC P3300 The release date is not set, but they figure that it will be in available June/ July. So no WM6 for the MTeoR... Royan
Update..? Any more news on WM6 for the MTeor / Breeze? Cheers, J.

WM6 for i-mate products Hi Folks, I complained to i-Mate tech support that Palm and Eten has a free WM6 upgrade for their ppc and asked 'What is i-mate doing for their customers?' Just got a reply from i-mate tech support advising that they are working with Microsoft and the manufacturer, HTC to see if i-mate can offer a similar upgrade path to WM6 for the i-mate products. At least i-mate is looking into offering an upgrade path, instead of a defintive NO. If all of our i-mate customers complain to i-mate strongly enough, we might get WM6 for the BlueAngel (i-mate PDA2K). Hold your breath there might still be light at the end of the tunnel. So email to [email protected] to lodge your complain.
Did the mention specifically the PDA2K?? I severely doubt they'll even consider a WM6 ROM release for the BA. Especially since we never saw a WM5 ROM release from any OEM.
WM6 upgrade for PDA2K No they did not. However, I did specifically asked about WM6 upgrade for the PDA2K. Their reply was that they are working with Microsoft and the manufacturer on upgrade to WM6 for all their i-mate products. Hopefully if there are enough of i-mate customers complains, then the chances of an upgrade to WM6 for the PDA2K would be better.
It is surely possible to run WM6 to our devices, but i dont think that any operator will release such upgrade(they even didn't release WM5 for it)

Click to collapse @xPlode - I strongly believe that one day I'll download 'xPlode WM6 Lazy Release' and install it on my BA. YOU are the man who can sure do it! My very best wishes for you dude.
Any chances of XDA iis ever being upgraded to WM6? Seems impossible
yes yes possibility is there but if u got the BSP (thanx explod for ur info)
