Has anyone else noticed that there are no updates in the e-culb area? Here they have been replaced by ringtones (Europe)?

Has anyone contacted HTC to see if they are going to customize WM 5.0 for the actual vendors?
From my conversations with both our AT&T corporate rep and Siemens, it sounds to me like AT&T gets their updates from Siemens and that Siemens gets their updates from HTC directly.
Because of this, it makes sense to me that someone with some type of contact within HTC could find out if HTC plans to manufacture the device in the future with WM 5.0 and if so, if they are going to make an upgrade kit available to current owners of their devices.
I am just wondering.
Here's a name and a number, give it a try!

Cruzzer - THANKS!!!
I have a call into him now! I have also discussed this more indepth with both Siemens support and Cingular R&D.
Both see to think that there is already an HTC version in production, however, neither Cingular or Siemens will give me any more information than that.
I will let you know as soon as I find out anything else.

Hi community!
Maybe the information below is already posted and I was to silly to find it in the forum, anyway:
Today (28. September) I asked HTC if there will be a Windows Mobile 6 Upgrade for the P3600 as I'm planning to get on and I always like to have an original backup ROM.
There simple statement in a longer e-mail (I'm not posting it here as there a confidential statement there...):
Trinity won't be updated...
Of course this doesn't exclude updates "endprovided" by network operators (see the trinity wiki) but I don't like this future view...
So ROM chiefs: go on cooking the best WM6 ROM!!! - Thanks for your effort!
Yes, that's the way HTC treats its customer.
We all may remember this, when the time will come to buy our next phone.
Actually your topic has already been reported, with the complete copy of HTC's mail, and some analysis of the reason why they carry out such a poor policy.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=318225&page=43
I will add one more reason:
Now that they have launched their new P3600i, they don't want people to stick to their 'old' p3600 any longer... and granting them with a brand new free wm6 upgrade, wouldn't have dissuaded them enough from doing so.
According to an interview made by the Swedish site www.mobil.se done with Christer Högström of HTC Sweden the full Touchflo functionality with the cube will be included in upcoming updates for the Tytn II. You should maybe take it with a grain of salt But that site is usually very well informed so we have to wait and see
Maybe only in the Swedish ROM?

I don´t think so They are not doing much with the roms once arrived from HTC
MayB they will also active the radio and video drivers in next update.
WM 6.1 anyone ?
This sounds very interesting - won't get my hopes up though! One question though - HTC eClub won' let me register as my handset is from Orange. How would I download this update, should it ever become available?

From here. If you have a carrier branded htc device you can't sign up. It has to be an unlocked htc branded device straight from them.
I'm just waiting on the inevitable poster to come in here and say "does anybody have this yet? please upload!"
I will post it here if necesarry.
That seems a bit weird my IMEI/Serial was fine to sign up to e-Club and I am on T-Mobile not an unbranded HTC TyTN II.
Russ
Deathace,
I'm with T-Mobile also but can't sign up with the serial number, did you use that or your IMEI to sign up with?
Regards
Jim
Could care less about touchflo.
All I was for xmas is d3d!
I just called HTC europe and they told me an update for s730 is in progress.

i did ask but she didnt know exactly when.. she said in the coming month or 2
Unfortunately I was told the same thing ("about a month or two") about 6 months ago.
HTC support is very disorganized, and even to get that out of them I had to go through about 5 different people, who all spoke very broken English.
I will not be buying another HTC product; ever.

frankly .ur reply made me sick.
do u mean u a going to buy another brand who hires good english speaking workers?
after all htc is the brand from taiwan. they speak chinese.
Depending on which departments he was at broken english might not be a good thing. Their offices in Taiwan yes broken english is understandable. But their main customer support line should have a few people if not everyone who can speak english decently. Europe and the North American region have a fair ammount of people purchasing their devices who speak english in one of its flavors.
I think that the language issue hit more upon that user due to the lack of informative people he kept getting transferred to time after time.
(At least I hope that's all it is )
any updates for now?
I'm looking for original S730 ROM.
I have WM6.1 by Alcaline but
-I can't synchronize ActiveSync (corp policy WM only)
-Internet shring don't work
-often freeze
I want rollback to original ROM but can't find it.

ur = you are? or did you mean you're? your perhaps?
If I spend a large sum of money on a cell phone, with a warranty, I expect the company to honour it. Being given the run around by people reading off screens with no follow-up is bad customer service. Them not being able to speak passable English is also annoying. Nothing sick or inappropriate about that one champ. If another brand offers me better support, and cares after the customers after the purchase, I will (and did) go that route.
Also, in Taiwan they speak both Chinese and Taiwanese. I visited almost a year ago with some of my co-workers. Just an FYI, bud.

I was cheated once and now I won't believe any rom release dates anymore until it is actually released on their site

Funny. I was given the exact same reply yesterday.
Only thing that bothers me is that the upgrade for the TyTNII has been released some time ago (correct me if I'm wrong) and the upgrade for the Touch Cruise has also been released several weeks ago. They don't mention the upgrade for the Touch Dual which has also recently seen daylight. So I hope they know what they are talking about. Anyway it gives some hope though.
I doubt it'll be any better than Alcaline's excellent version.
The cooked are crap only the SMS chat owns
Official new ROM out
So, the update file is finally posted on the HTC web site.
I installed, and it seems to run fine, but too early to give a final opinion. Memory management 'feels' better.
BTW: Where in the version numbers does one see it's really 6.1? And is there a list out there of improvements over 6.0?
Hi Hfrank,
version number: start -> settings -> about -> in top of screen.
Is there an sms-chat in the update?
"About" only shows: Windows Mobile 6 Standard
CE OS 5.2.1622 (Build 18128.0.4.4) - so not easy for someone like me to see the exact version (if I didn't know better I'd think OS 5.2 means WM 5.2, not 6.0 or 6.1 .
"Is there an sms-chat in the update?"
Haven't found one yet.
The more I think about it, it seems this is a bugfix update, but not update to 6.1...?
Hi
There isn't coming any 6.1 update for this phone. On the swedish site www.mobil.se there was a couple of weeks ago a chat with Christer Högström from HTC.
I asked him when the 6.1 update was to be released and the answer in swedish was:
"Det var planerat att uppgrader S730 till Wm6.1 men med den minnes kapasitet som finns på produkten blev det lite svårt att ge kunden en bra upplevelse. Där emot kommer vi med en Standard uppdatering till S730 om ca 2 veckor som förbättrar radio stabiliteten."
Quick translation: It was planed to upgrade s730 to WM 6.1 but with the memory capacity on the product it became hard to give the user a decent user experience. But we will come with a standard update that will improve radio stability.
Heres is the chat: http://www.mobil.se/ArticlePages/200810/28/20081028094638_MOB813/20081028094638_MOB813.dbp.asp
Sorry guys!
hi to all
i want download official wm 6.5 for my pro2!! is it Release from HTC?!!
{insert facepalm here}
I think he meant to put a ? instead of a !
I contacted HTC in the Netherlands and they wrote me they dont have an exact date yet when they will release it on their website.
Where do you get it will be released today?
And yes, when released, it will be available on the HTC website.
Some websites stated 6th Oct too, but since I cant find it anywhere in HTC website...
So I guess its not true that the new ROM is out lol
The fact that Microsoft officially releases it to the world does not meant that manufacturers such as HTC automaticaly release it as well.
In theory the development cycle for manufacturers only starts today. The fact that big players such as HTC have had WM6.5 at their disposal earlier than today only makes that their release date will be somewhat sooner than what normally could be expected ...
Patience y'all !!
Orange say they'll have 6.5 available for download by October 12th, so i guess HTC will release it by then.

@HTC website:
Customers with an original HTC Touch Diamond2 or Touch Pro2 will be able to update their phone via a new ROM which will be available from HTC’s website in the coming weeks at www.htc.com.
