Promising....
Steve
You dont visit the forums much, do you? The date on that article is Feb. 12th..
So does anyone have an idea when it is coming (rumors, etc)? The TyTN guys are up and running on WM6, I'm getting jealous here.

It is expected to be released to existing customers and pre-loaded on new devices in July/August 2007. Because Palm have made so many adjustments to make WM5 work better on the Treo, they will have to do that again and it will take some time to fully test.

Since WM6 is not very different from WM5, I think it shouldn't take long.

I would assume the same thing, but they wont release it so quickly after releasing the unlocked Treo. Plus, after speaking with reps from Palm there is still a lot of confusion amongst them all about when it will happen.
Palm Australia does not know ****
DO not expect a Palm WM6 upgrade for current Treo 750's at all
I promise you it will not happen.

I didnt mention Palm Australia. I have spoken with Pal Australia, Singapore and UK and have got a maybe from Australia and a Yes from Singapore and UK, infact Singapore has officially confirmed it in an interview with cnet interview (asia.cnet.com)
Existing Palm user WILL get an upgrade to their Treo 750/750v.
Hi. Where?
Can you post a link to the article where cnet asia reported that Palm said existing 750 owners would be upgraded to WM6?
Let's be clear: we know 750s will eventually be sold w/ WM6 loaded. I have not seen anywhere (pending cnet asia post notwithstanding) that says that existing 750s w/ WM5 will have an option to upgrade to WM6.
Any documentation would be interesting.
Thanks.

Even (!) if there would be no official upgrade, current users can install the firmware from "new" Treos with WM6.

Here is the other article i read on the subject. http://apcmag.com/5377/palm_treo_750_has_an_upgrade_up_its_sleeve i cannot find the asia Cnet one at the moment.
Palm will offer both a new Treo 750 with WM6 on it and an upgrade, i would assume for marketing purposes that they will release the Treo pre-loaded with WM6 first and then release an update to existing customers within the weeks after that. Either way, I'm sure someone smart will upload the rom for everyone
Thanks, that article is certainly encouraging. Hope to see it soon.

Interesting....
For those of you who may be interested in a CDMA Treo 750...i wouldnt trust this too much, yet

It is out (WM6+HS) and am testing it. I'll give you update later
Where'd you get it? If you're 'testing' it, then it's not really out. What's HS?
What??? I sense sarcasm

I'd assume it is HSPDA which is included in the Treo ROM for WM6
Great news !!!

Great News austin_boy! Can you post some of your first impressions here?
Well I finally managed to get into the europe htc site and register under vrious product serial numbers, to get the link to download the WM 6.1 upgrade rom - so the rumors are correct
The only thing is, I played around with the 5th digit, and replaced with 1 and 2 and got dutch and danish options, but no english ! :-(
Anyone has suggestions on what digit will enable english language download ?
theres a whole thread on tihs.

Seriously...who is doubting that this was official? HTC released it "officially" on May 23rd. There are no less that 1000 posts on this forum dealing with the official release.
In addition, it appears you are posting about how to scam a fake serial number to register a non-existent device.
Why you would want to do this I'm not sure, since the official WWE version has been posted numerous times among those 1000+ threads.
What I don't understand, is, if you have a "usa" version, why you would want to fool around with the ROM update anyway.
I guess I'm gettin' too old to fool around with bleeding edge stuff. I'll wait
until the dust settles, let at&t release one (if they ever do), or wait until XDA
gets a 100% stable release. Personally, the only issue I have with the tilt is
the slow switching from landscape to portrait mode. I don't watch videos, so that one isn't an issue.
Hat's off to you guys out there that play with these early releases.
There are threads about this in the ROM development forums and there are links in the Kaiser wiki on the Shipped ROMs page for all languages, including english. (See my sig for a quick link)
Thread closed.
hey guys, anyone know where / when the 6.1 software will be available for the Tilt?
I was told in the month of July, however I have visited the htc site and no 6.1 update is available, any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You,
Chris
I read this morning on another forum that someone had talked to an Att rep and its looking like mid August. Not sure of the validity of it though
there are alot of great 6.1 options here. look around you may find out that they are better than "official" roms.
dude official wm6.1 available since February 2008! check this out

All of the WM6.1 roms for AT&T are leaked/pre-released/testing version. AT&T hasn't released its Official WM6.1 as of yet. No one really seems to know for sure (AT&T included) as to when they will ship out their 6.1 rom. I've heard July (which has passed), August, and September, as well as the cynical "Never".
Your best way of knowing is that it'll most likely be a few months after everyone else has done it and moved on.
edit: Just to add some more hearsay, check out the AT&T forum here. Some say AT&T is preparing their support staff for 6.1 questions. If true, then it's a positive note. But once again, this is all hearsay till there's an official note from AT&T. And even then it's not set in stone.
Ok XDA, step up!
LOL...come on you guys, there are confirmed reports that the "official" at&t roms have been spotted in the tilt. You mean you guys haven't been able to find one
to hack into yet? LOL....
Just kidding. After the "official" tilt rom comes out, I'll think if I want that or one of the cooked ones. I don't know if I want to bother with a cooked one. If my phone goes down, I'm screwed. I use pocket word, outlook, excel, acrobat dozens of times a day. I go through screen protectors (I use the old style palm transcriber) about once a month or more.
Seriously...keep up the work you cookers!
Dont Know
I spoke to ATT CS regarding same last week. She told me that , Its available with ATT but she is not sure when we will get it. Other thing she told me was to check the windows update in the phone, whenever they wil make it official for upgrade we can get upgrade via windows update.
I dont know if any other reason is there, but hope to get it ASAP, and looking forward to explorer 6.1
Cheers!
Amey
Whats really funny about this is that my local ATT Store now has signs next to the Tilt saying "Now Loaded with WM 6.1" or something like that, listing the threaded texting and other benefits. I asked the rep what the deal was and he said it would be available shortly, so I asked why the sign was out now and he said because they were told to put them out.

I've never been able to get WU to work. Tried data connection & wi-fi, always says the same thing...connection with server cannot be established, or something similar.

To date MS has done nothing with the update function.
WM6.1 will require a complete ROM replacement and there is no way they can do this via an update downloaded to the phone. Like the other ROM update from earlier this year, when this is officially available it will be posted for download on HTC's site and will need to performed from a connected PC.

Yes, i have talked to the people from HTC, and when it is ready which 'should be soon' then go to www.htc.com -> pick your country -> support -> choose your phone -> updates
Its out on the UK O2 site, just found it. Now if I install it I will have to re install all my apps and stuff again wont I ?
Any way I can make a complete back up of my phone and the apps as is , so I can go back to my 'working ' set up if I come up with problems ?
Thanks

neither of these links go anywhere
I was at a blog this morning and it was stated there that the ROM was at the HTC.com site stated above. As everyone knows, it is not there now. Although one of the comments on the page states the following that I found interesting: "HTC had the ROM upgrade available breifly. Then they removed the upgrade but left the page declaring that 6.1 was available. Now the page that was declaring WM6.1 is gone and refers to the WM6.0 rom from February. A few people had success in getting the 6.1 ROM image." Whether or not this is true can not be determined, but at least it gives me hope that it may be released soon (although we have seen this happen many times in the past).
My source for this info: http://blogs.msdn.com/jasonlan/arch...-6-1-upgrade-for-at-t-tilt-now-available.aspx
if anyone downloaded it, I can't figure out why it hasn't made its way over here somewhere. From the looks of the post count on the at&t forum site, there are 2,352,465.5 people waiting for it LOL.
Try it now -

you mean this one....if you click download it shows wm6.0 rom 1.62.502.2 not the one listed.

I don't believe there is. I've poked around looking for one.
It is something that I keep an eye out for, it will be nice when it happens!
Lookin for one myself. I have seen a couple german ones. Can't wait for the US version.
I Found this a few weeks ago
I like it, but am unsure of its development stage. Hasn't been any movement on it since June
im working on one, hope to have it finished soon, been really busy lately but hopefully I can finish it by the end of the month LOL
I remember that tvguide.com had a Windows Mobile application out for a while. Just tried to do a search and couldnt come up with anything though. I used it over a year ago on my HTC Touch. I'm hoping that TVGuide will put out another new app for Android so that you can set reminders for certain shows.
A lot of people have been saying that HTC will be issuing upgrades to TP2 users for W6.5 and Manilla on the 6th.
Is this for certain?
If HTC are planning this, why have HTC UK issued ROM upgrades for Voda and Orange on the 28th of September? I mean, if they were planning to release WM6.5 etc. why release those updates so close to that date?
Well the updates for Orange and Vodaphone, that are the decisions of them. Not the decisions of HTC.
It's not certain that it will be there october 6th. It's the day that wm 6.5 oficially will be ditributed. So possibly it can take a while longer before an upgrade comes out. But this is not expected.
Many roms you see at the moment in this forum, are basicly under construction roms by HTC and then tweaked and improved by the chefs.
Also, the "new" roms for orange and voda have the same update as the one for HTC unbranded phones. So nothing new or spectaculair there.
official date
went and asked customer care bout the update,it will be out in 3 -4 weeks time,with a newer version of touchflo 3d
wohooooo
Hi, quarintus and thanks for the reply.
I am curious about this so I've just e-mailed HTC Europe support asking when WM6.5 will be available and if the upgrade will have the new TF3D & I received a reply to my questions from them almost instantly!
Here it is:
Thanks for your email. We are expecting the upgrade in about 3-4 weeks time, and as far as we are currently aware, it will include the new version of touchflo, although exact specs should be confirmed nearer the time Best regards, HTC Europe Support
