Hello Everyone,
Do microsoft also offering updates for the hacked windows mobile?
I mean that as we all know that windows mobile 6 is not officially announced for Blueangel and our heros cracked it to use it on BA.
Do the windows mobile update works on BA?

I have the Wizard (cingular 8125) and am interested in running the newest version of Windows Mobile.
My question is this. When it does become available, is this a free upgrade or something that you will have to purchase. I'm still somewhat new to the windows mobile os, where I was recently using Palm.
I also understand that the difference between reuglar and pro will be that pro is for touch screen phones (pocket pc). Am I correct?
Is anyone using the wizard and have the pro version working correctly? I'd love to try this out - [email protected]
Thanks guys.

Whether or not you'll be able to "officially" upgrade to windows mobile 6 is up to your carrier. More than likely they won't release it for exsisting devices. Yes the pro version will be for pocket pc devices. There are several people running unofficial versions of wm6 and seem to be having some success with however it usally takes a good deal of tweaking to get it to work the way you want it to. Doing a quick search through the forum and wiki should help you out alot.
Hi,
whats about Windows Mobile 6.0?
isn't it possible to run windows mobile 6.0 on HTCs Blue Angle
or is there already a rom aviable?
so far, noone can get it to work yet.
also pls look around before post, cuz we already have a thread regarding that topic
Has anybody checked out Microsoft's new mobile site? while working through the various menu options/links... keep an eye on what the programs LOOK like. Outlook, Contacts, Excel, Word, etc all LOOK different to WM6!
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/startdoingmore/
I'm guessing this website is based upon WM6.1 ?? Just an idea
Click Start > See the Experience > Stay More Connected and a Kaiser pops up. Its also under the phones section.
Yeah I noticed that!! I wonder why don't they have it listed on the main screen of phones though! oops!!! I take that back! just needed to drag the scroll bar to the right Glen... doh!!
Wow that looks fab. Either it's just fake mockups or it's Photon (windows mobile 7).
Taken from microsoft-watch.com regarding the WM roadmap:
Microsoft is working to deliver Photon, the successor to Crossbow, to cell phone and PDA providers by Q4 2007, and launch it officially in the first or second calendar quarter of 2008, according to slides from a Microsoft official's March TechDays presentation. Photon will include a "new flexible shell, modular containers and the 'Yamazaki' Windows CE kernel," according to information on the slides.

To be fair, MS need to pull their finger out... although I'd NEVER buy an iPhone, I have to admit my eyes starting watering when I played with it the other day - the OS is beautiful!

What the hell is a Yamazaki?
Apparently Windows CE versions from 4.0 onwards are named after whiskeys... and apparently Yamazaki is a whiskey... don't ask me!
CE 6 (Yamazaki)
And Wikipedia has only a small amount of information on Photon:
Windows Mobile
Microsoft is currently working on an upgrade to the Windows Mobile platform codenamed Photon that will be powered by Windows Embedded CE 6.0. Leaked videos of devices running the software show a new graphical interface. The software would merge both Smartphone and Pocket PC versions in one Windows Mobile version - the new interface optimized for both direct touch and button-based interaction, reducing stylus use. Microsoft Photon has been in development since the release of Windows Mobile 5 and is scheduled for release in the first half of 2008.

Here's to hoping for a free upgrade
I'm sure the ROM cookers on here will make a "free" upgrade ;-)
There is a webcast of Windows CE 6.0 R2 launch this friday morning... although its mainly for the developers, it will still be interesting to see whats truly new in CE that WM will be able to make use of.

upgrade
soon I am gonna have the new htc touch pro 2. it is said to have been already upgraded with wm6.5. I have alot of programs that run on wm6.1. do they no longer work on 6.5???? what is gonna happen when windows mobile 7 comes around all the programs will be useless as well???
yes they all will work, as far for Windows Mobile 7, it will not besupported by TouchPro2, a device by HTC, named "Leo" is coming which has the first snapdragon processor (1GHZ), that might be supported..
Hello!
As most of you people know, the next version of Windows Mobile will be probally version 6.5 ...
My question is: what if microsoft releases this version, are we able to download it for free through our mobile with windows update?
Or will we have to pay for a new version?
This is my first time windows mobile, so i'm not sure about windows mobile updates, how things work.
Could someone explain me?
And P.S.: In februari the world mobile congress is there. Any change 6.5 will be released around that time?
Some of the "big" fabricators gave out (free) updates from WM5 to WM6, so the chance that there will be updates from 6.1 to 6.5 (or 7) is imho pretty good.
Maybe they will give an opportunity to update via HTC site however usually they only support the newest devices so maybe they'll realese WM 6.5 for Diamond but I'm not sure about 7 But propably if it won't use Multitouch or something like that I think somebody will port it
Updates...
Unfortunately, Microsoft doesn't give ROM updates to end users... that's up to network operators or OEM's (original equipment manufacturers - HTC for example). I've been using Windows Mobile devices for nearly 10 years now, and my experience tells me, as far as WM6.5 is concerned, we have 'little' chance of an official update for the Diamond - WM7 'no' chance!
However, these wizards here at XDA will give us the ROM's in one form or another, so don't hold your breath for genuine ROM updates of any significance!!

Agreed, HTC did that before
The official updates from HTC or the operators usually take some time to be made available. The unofficial updates though come much quicker at this wonderful XDA forum here.
We may get 6.5 but 7.0 i don't think so because of the hardware limitations maybe for the CDMA version because has a better configuration
