Im Back ! - Off-topic

I learned so much from these forums last year while modding my MDA, well after a year of being gone and getting tired of Sidekicks and Tmobiles Bull**** and junking them, Getting sprint and loving EVDO and going through Motorola Q9 , i picked up an HTC Vogue. Glad to see the community here is still thriving ! Cant wait to go through more threads and see some of the advances you guys have made in the last year. Already seen quite a few that make me want to grab another MDA.
Well hopefully i can figure out a solution for my fingers being to big for the touchscreen keyboard !!

Paying for freeware?

Should I be upset that mUn's WM6 aRTM was up for 5$ on ebay, and he wasn't the one selling it?

ya know what- I'm not sorry a bit: I would probably wouldn't have come to this forum had I not been burned. And, I'm in the process of really going elbow-deep in my 8125 and LOVING it! So, I just feel it's crap that someone else is taking the $$$ for someone else's creation.

I just went to Ebay and typed in "Windows Mobile 6" into their Search Engine. Just look at what came up!!! And, they originated from THIS forum, I'm sure. . .
http://search.ebay.com/Windows-Mobile-6_W0QQfromZR40
I've got a good mind to report ALL of them to Ebay . . . and surprised that Microsoft hasn't . . . yet.
ought to just report to eBay.
Conversely buyable is this
For those of us that love our PDAs and PDA phones I created the themes that I am selling on eBay to anyone who loves the gear and beautiful women - and NO they are not nudes and porn. But, for anyone that likes what they see and wants some I will give 6 for the price of 3.

I have used WM6 ROMs and I'm grateful for the cooks providing them, but let's call a spade a spade here - it's NOT "freeware". Microsoft make WM available to ODMs for a licence fee.

I must admit I did not know ODMs were not being charged for WM5->WM6 upgrade paths, however a free upgrade is not freeware.

I did. Two of the listings were pulled within 1/2 hour and I've notice that a third one has now been pulled. The only items left are the Wizard phones with WM6 pre-installed. Those probably won't last much longer.

Selling themes you created is fine since you're the author but selliing something somebody else has put together and released for free is wrong to say the least....

Well i have reported both of them, due to the fact that if someone on here has put alot of work into it, NO-ONE should be selling it on, that will just bring more problems from microsoft to this site! As we are one of the biggest sites, if not the best for the wizard.
If it is given for free, no-one can be seen to be getting money from copy right of microsoft!

info regarding AT&T WM6

I was talking to AT&T business customer service regarding my account. Before i got off the phone i asked a question regarding the availability of WM6 for the treo 750. He said the upgrade is out and available to all thier retail stores in effort to upgrade the existing stock of Treo 750 with WM5 to WM6 in preperation for the arrival of the new TREO 750 with WM6 included. Once the above mentioned is complied with, the upgrade for existing users will hit the perverbial shelves...
Giving Back..

WM6 ROM
I was talking to my Tarot Card reader, and she told me that the WM6 ROM would be arriving when the marriage of the moon and the cat had passed the arrival of the white knight. She also told me that I would blessed with much fortune after a period of intense hunger and longing. So...I got that going for me!

Why is it when you try to post honest info, you get met with snide remarks from people who have swelled heads and think they know everything. I don't understand, why even post post this kind of small mindless dribble.this is not this first time i have gotten this kinda reply...

jhowle,
Thanks for posting your info here. I think we're all a little jaded when it comes to the multiple dates, timeframes, plans and timelines posted from AT&T, Cingular, Palm, and others. I'm hoping that your information pans out. I guess I need to stop at the AT&T store on the way home today...
Can anyone confirm that the stores have the update? A link would be nice.
Thanks,

I think this poster has as much chance of getting an honest answer getting information about WM6 from a gypsy then tech support from AT&T. Poster is making a Joke (true) but a joke none the less. Don't be so sensitive!
Oh.. im not jaded at all.. infact the blackberry curve is looking pretty right about now. I've been surving this country for 12 years in the USAF. Waiting for this new upgrade to come out is sorta small compared to current events and you would understand if you were in my shoes.
Thanks

At least somebody here gets the point I was trying to make. The bottom line is that there is no way of knowing what AT&T, or Verizon, Or T-Mobile, or anyone is going to do at any time. It does not matter what anyone says here. If I create a fake avatar with the AT&T logo and pretend I am the CEO of AT&T and tell you it will be released tomorrow, will you believe me? If you do, what happens when it does not show up? I truly appreciate any info anyone gives here...HONESTLY I DO!!! I just happen to think this is all very funny, so I am trying to lighten things up.
I gotta go now. My numerologist is here to tell me who is going to win the presidential election.
Alright,, thats enough for me,, i'm done posting.. period.

Die hard Motorola fan just converted...

Hey guys,
Im Jack... mod over at modmymoto.com . Just sold my Motorola MPx300's, traded my A1200 Ming smartphone and trashed a Crapberry for an HTC S620.
I'm much happier now.
Just wanted to introduce myself.
Welcome aboard man.
No way!? Jack, you really got rid of all your Motorolas!? Treason!!!!! haha
Welcome, welcome my friend. I used to have a Moto V300, the got a SE P910i, then Nokia N80, then a BB Curve, then the HTC Herald, and my current device HTC Kaiser. I came a long way, lol, probably not as long as others. My next device will be the Nokia N96. As you can see, I like variety, but staying clear of that so called apple phone, lol.
twould seem that the herald forum is a springboard for alot of upper members and ideas
HTC herald............innovating since god knows when.
But anyway..... congrats on the switch. I find it exorbitant to trade all that for just one excalibur.
about 2 years ago i did what you did now.
i was a Nokia man!
@ doctor... do I know you? Fr0m M3?
@fzzyrn... It wasnt just for an Excalibur... I got lots of beer, 2 tanks of gas 2 Excaliburs and some other stuff.....
Haha. I don't think you know me. But I'm from M3 yes. I found this place when I got my Wing.
I'm The Omega Protocol at M3. I ported the Black Remedy Skin to 176 and then Sold the Dragon V3r. T_T I kinda wish I hadn't. lol But I am very happy with my Wing which now runs Touch-IT [Touched by Vista].
Welcome. I too gave up my MPx300, Sony Ericsson and Blackberry devices for HTC. You're gonna love it here.
I loved my MPx300, a bit bulky but it was truly awesome for a device of it's time.

Yeah...It was definitely ahead of its time. It was the memory issue that killed me. I had 2 of them.
@ Doctor...good to see you here!
Likewise.
So, how is the S620? I've always wondered.
Impressive.. sturdy, stable and very responsive. I especially like the keypad... each button is well defined.
I <3 my Wing. [Thanks papa!!!!]
Have you modded it at all yet? Kavana's Rom maybe? lol Or are you still stock...which is like a sin. haha
Welcome to the fold. My first "smart" phone was the Moto E680i, loved that phone. Super stable linux OS, the best Chinese sip I've ever seen, nice form factor, lots of mods etc. Every time I see someone stressing about flashing a WM phone I chuckle and think of the days when I had to telnet into the phone for even the slightest of tweaks. I gave it away when I got my hermes and my friend is still using it...over three years of hard use and it's still going, that thing is a tank. Anyway welcome to the forums and say goodbye to all your evenings and weekends for the next 6 months.....

LOL! I know, when I think about it, I wonder how I managed to post so much in a few months, but I go through a bunch of sections each night and it's only 4 posts a day average! I think it's due to the increase of juniors and the off the wall questions, and of course, the serious users looking for help/answers. The problem is as soon as I set everything up I want to change it, so then I'm back to another round of posting. Sigh.....I need a beer .
exactly. If you'll notice, i've expanded my tech support tyranny into the elf and artemis forums. I can't let you beat me now...!!

Just wanted to give my appreciation to the MANY MANY devs here, in thanks for making my old devices much more than the manufacturers intended them to be.
I'll be serving one year of Active Army Duty (Deployment) in the Middle-East & Surrounding areas, hopefully still enjoying my HTC HD7, until around July of 2012.
I'll miss xda, as it's been one of my other homes for a little over two years now.

It is a shame that troops are deployed without an imminent reason anyways..
