"We picked up on a couple of rumours from yesterday that an official X1 Windows Mobile 6.5 rom had surfaced on XDA developers. Just wanted to be clear that this isn’t true.
There is no official X1 6.5 rom and it’s not in the X1’s product roadmap. There are hackers out there who can do pretty much anything, but unless you’re getting it from the SE update service it isn’t an official Sony Ericsson product."

Wait and see...
But even if they work on it, they will try to keep it secret as long as possible
But if they keep us waiting and it never does come.....
SE dont want to advertise that 6.5 is coming to x1 because they want people to get the x2 with 6.5 - after the x2 has been out for a while then they might release a 6.5 update to x1 i guess
hm... smells fishy. I wonder if Itje cares to comment on this.
No love for the X1 -- anyway...it looks like SE is ditching WM platform...
http://mobilitysite.com/2009/09/will-the-xperia-x2-be-the-last-winmo-device-from-sony-ericsson/
I was skeptical to begin with when itje announced his new ROM was being based on an official Xperia 6.5 leak.
Could be an X2 beta ROM.
Will it be possible to purchase 6.5 direct from MS and install on X1?
jhendra they said the same thing as well about the x1 sooooo...
"Will it be possible to purchase 6.5 direct from MS and install on X1?"
no ms never sold wm or windows CE to end users as it's without any drivers
so end users would never be able to make it work unless they had the platform builder
and all the drivers 100% matching the device they owned

It's a rumour by Eldar posted on mobile-review forum.
So, you can also easily forget it too.
Hard to believe for me.
see why u gotta give apple the kudos...apple releases updates to the iphone regardless which version iphone it is, people still buy the most recent
see why i wont buy the x2, SE screwed us all over with the x1, who said they wont do it again

Well, I don't feel sooooo screwed...
My phone works fine, I'm not dying for upgr.
But anyway - we'll see when WM6.5 is out,
too early to speak.
well i feel screwed, they managed to give the x2 drivers for a smooth panel interface and look at us idiots with a choppy panel manager, btw did i say the hardware is the same?
if they dont update our x1, u bet i wont be buying another SE device, i should have learned my lesson from the P series
Actually nobody said that there is an official X1-ROM with WM6.5 avaliable until now, itje didn't as well...
Itje just announced that he's got an official X1-WM6.5-kernel and some new OEM drivers. That makes the chance for a real official WM6.5-ROM via SEUS for X1 much more likely then before, we think.
as much as we all would love 6.5 upgrade, i think the most important upgrade the x1 could get is a smoother panel interface and new panels, even if its on wm 6.1
why is it that korea got spb mobile shell 3 and xtrakt?
what is so special about the korean xperia market than everyone else in the world?
i wont be surprised either if korea got the update we are looking for either lol
anyway, u have to admit, SE support is very very poor...i will wait and see what the next few months will bring...i dont intend to buy a new device just for a service pack upgrade which wm 6.5 really should be...
as i said, we dont have to get the 6.5, but damn, fix our damn 6.1 panel interface and give us more panels
if they dont upgrade the x1 to 6.5 then theres no way i am getting a x2 because it just shows how poor their after sale support is...
who needs official support anyway? we've got xda. Duh!

Maybe I'm the minority here,

same unfourtunatley - custom roms are only good for me for seeing what should be released officially one day
all 6.5 roms have problems
I'd like to get the 6.5 upgrade to utilize Marketplace.
I know it's been stated it will support 6.1 also but let's face it, it's a developer based app stream and I don't imagine we'll see too many developers using 6.1 anymore.
me too i tried and ended back with seus rom

self explanatory really. Will the kaiser get an official version of the wm 6.5 rom when it comes out??? Thanks.
Yeah, we all know but we aren't telling.
no one knows but i think not would be nice if they did
why wouldn't they? Crap, they upgraded us to 6.1 which was nice but still not what that phone needs. Now they are coming out with a much more touch friendly interface and they won't give us that? Why wouldn't we get another upgrade? It's not like the hardware can't handle it. It's barely even out of it's cycle.
http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/02/16/microsoft-announces-windows-mobile-6-5/
"Sadly, Microsoft's saying that no devices in the market today will receive official 6.5 updates, but don't pull out your wallets just yet, though -- the first devices with Windows Mobile 6.5 preinstalled should be available in the fourth quarter of the year."
It's a simple question, i've seen some panels of the X2 and they are really impressive... i just wanted to know if X1 users will be available to get or download those x2 panels.
thank you very much !!!
when the X2 is released, i hope the panels are works on my X1^^
a more imprortant question is if they care enough to bother with. most of the rom cookers didnt bother with the first panels. and im sure it will be ported
i hope they keep in mind x1 after starting to sell x2..

6.5 update dude!!!!
At the very least it seems that the X2 ROM will be flashable on the X1. The hardware is almost identical, so it should be an easy transition. Additionally, I imagine that many of the panels available on the X2 will work as is on a non-6.5 X1. The only ones that wouldn't are those that are making some 6.5-specific system calls.

is there any way?
i mean OFFICIAL way, and not a cooked ROM, because i dont like them (some bugs etc.)
i'd like to have this winmo 6.5 official, it looks that it goes at more speed then winmo 6.1 but i want an official one !

And I doubt it will be. After all, there is X2 people should by to have WM6.5 officialy. As for the panels, if it's up to SE to decide - the panels won't be available to X1 (officialy). I hope that the guys in xda will have them ripped of the X2 )

its not official until SE releases it. maybe SE is palying arrounf with the 6.5 update but that doesnt mean they goign to release it.
OT: im pretty sure they will work on the X1 too. resolution is the same, CPU is the same ... basicly everything is the same except the camera and the accelerometer.

i agree just because there is a beta leak 6.5 rom does not mean it will be released as we all found out with the r3 panel manager and growing panel etc.
the only thing that may not work panel wise is the tile panel as it may be using good x2 drivers which offically the x1 will probably not get if it does not get the r4 update (i hope it does).
many unofficial roms for htc devices comes from leaked
"official" test roms so it could very well be that se will never release wm6.5 for x1

I have no doubt SE won`t support: SE is arrogant regarding customers with predecessor-models. It`s going to be like the P-series: upgade (BUY!) the sucessor or you won`t get the candy!
I agree .. all that new panel manager and panels, and camera .. all seems now to be intended for X2. So IMHO we already have some X2 panels on X1.
c'mon guys, look at the forum you're on right now. i gaurantee someone here will port all the x2 panels for the x1.
So, now 6.5 is officially released, when are we going to get a proper base 6.5 ROM for our Jades? Come on, there's got to be a genius out there.
I guess all the chefs are waiting for an official HTC 6.5 final ROM dump. I mean that's what i would do, if i were a chef.
Really excited about it.Hope something will come up soon.
When is HTC likely to release an official 6.5 rom for this device?
hi
to my knowledge not now we need to wait for one of ur cooks to use one of the released Roms and cook a good bug free one for us

I asked HTC support a few weeks ago and they replied to me that they won't release a official 6.5 ROM for the Touch 3G. I guess they prefer to sell the Touch2 instead.

Apparently, the Touch 2 will be quite cheap in SEAsia, somewhere between the Opal and Jade. This with increased memory but same processor and same camera as Jade.
yeah i looked at a touch2 ...however the battery is only 1000amh....compared to our Touch 3G's 1100amh
Asked in HTC
I too asked in HTC support.
They told it would take some time for them to release the upgrade for our wonderful jade.
They told to visit HTC site regularly to know about the release.
Waiting for the upgrade.

I very much doubt there will be an official 6.5 update. Look at it from HTC's point of view, there's just no financial reason to do it.
hi
u nailed it buddy im 100% with u but then we have great cooks so im sure well get a good clean bug free ROM soon

It's hard to figure out HTC's marketing strategy. They introduce a newer version of a product with the same or sometimes inferior features. Take the Touch cruise 2, for instance. The older one had a better camera. The screen of the Opal is lowered and that makes it hard to reach the close button. As for the official upgrade, the word out is it will only be for the diamond 2 and touch pro 2. But when it comes to hotfixes, jade comes in first with practically none= no major issues to fix.
I too have asked HTC support about WM6.5 and have gotten the same answer - no WM6.5 for the Jade. But i asked them some 3 weeks ago, or more. Things may have changed in the mean time.

I thought 21854 is the official release. My future release features 21859 so is a bit newer than the official . I solved a problem it had with office, my mistake after all. So the in the new megade wm 6.5 will have as much bugs as the official release. (maybe a bit less/more)
If u look at the specs of the Touch2, it's very clear it's just an upgrade on Jade. Apart from the improbable stuff like RAM and ROM. the rest are nearly a match. some of the features that jade lacks, just a couple of registry tweaks and shortcut assigned keys..and you're on the GO! Save $$$...and a prettier phone. LOL

More than a long shot I would say, since allowing Jade owners to update 6.5 would mean they would not have an incentive to upgrade to Touch 2. Phones like ours requires a lot of thought at the beginning and more user friendly phones like Nokia are hard to beat. Believe me, I've tried to convert quite a few people!
Hi Gents,
I just arrived in this wonderfull place. I browse it several time and find a lot of usefull information on so many topics (ROM and others).
But I was not able to find an answer to this question:
- Do you know if SonyEricsson will release an official ROM for wm6.5 on Xperia X1?
- If no, will it be possible to access to the market place using the ROM that we find here?
Thanks in advance
1. no there not
2. there is the marketplace cab on this website (do a search) and it works fine on 6.1.
I wouldn't be that sure to say no they will not, it is still to early to rule out completely an official wm 6.5 upgrade for the X1, though i would leave it at 50-50 chance of release at this time, and yes the marketplace is already in action on both the leaked 6.5 and the official 6.1
it would be bad for business for SE if they did
as benchmarks x1 vs. x2 show x2 is not faster
and it don't really pack that much extra features vs. x1
not a good way to make money if one kill the sale of a current device by
giving customers freebies so they will not buy a new phone

i wouldnt call 6.5 usable on the x1 due to its poor performance.and you are talking about 7?!
If x2 will have update to WP7 then on x1 also will have it. But knowing SE, will not update X2 to WP7.

Its not even possible so dont even think about it.
Any news about WP7 on X1 ?
not knowing anything official on this, but...
with respect to the previous posts and from experience:
I really don't think X1 will get it from SE, as SE didn't even upgrade to an official WM6.5
additionally the X1 is a far cry from the minimum hw requirements and I honestly wouldn't want to test it even if a chef would make the effort
jm2cw though
wp7 requires snapdragon, capacitive touchscreen, 512 mb ram (i think), 5 megapixel camera,... x1 doesn't have any of these things. now, if xda-devs can get it working on x1, is different story
No chance for an X1 version of WP7
No chance for an X1 version of WP7...The minimum requirements for the WP7 is much higher than what we have in X1.....
