The windows mobile 6.5 (news) - HTC Excalibur

I thought everyone who owns an excalibur should know about this...
http://www.electronista.com/articles/08/11/07/windows.mobile.65.a.go/

When an article is 3 months old, it's no longer considered news. It's olds.

Already available for some PPC users, M$ kicked off today @ XDA and got the item removed... Doubt any of the Dash users will see WM6.5 unless someone ports it, as no new ROMs have been officialy produced and not even an official WM6.1...
So we can dream and wait till the Dash 2 and see what we get?
lol @ post above was didn't even read the link

A big difference is that it will be for a different device
I know what the difference is and have run WM6.5 "Hybrid" (Without the new homescreen) on Tilt, it will take someones time to port it so we will see?

True!! But i think that they will going to reallese it on a simular divice!Maybe not... The phone will handle the new wm6.5(if someone ports it) roms im sure!
I have an old qtek 8310 and it runs wm6.1 smooth and yet the model is soo old..
You understand what im trying to say right?

WM6 Running on HTC!

Has anyone figured it out? What would it take to get WM6 running on our HTC's? Is it just a mater of getting the OS from Microsoft and upgrade or is it a custom rom specifically made for our Hermes?

There is a photo on the official WM6 page from Microsoft with Crossbow running on what looks to be a Tytn.

Your picture too
Here is an article with a couple videos of Windows Mobile 6. One video shows Windows Mobile 6 in action and the other shows different devices with Windows Mobile 6 installed. Three of the devices are from HTC. They highlight a HTC Typhoon, a HTC Excalibur, and what looks like an HTC Herald. I just hope that the Windows Mobile 6 version has 3G.

No kidding I almost p'd my pants.
Bad Bad title.
the good old forum search for WM6 would have turned up plenty of reading on this topic.
lol So i see i got all of your attention, i guess its misleading because there's no "?" at the end and thats the whole point of my topic
But the fact of the matter is still not answered, i know there's lots of topics on WM6 but nothing as far as our Hermes so now that i got your attention can we put our head together and figure something out because if we wait for HTC to come up with something our phones most likely die out before we can get anything out of them.....
Be careful what you wish for. My old Dell Axim X50v came with Windows Mobile 2003SE on it.. everybody clammored for WM5 once it came out. Once we got the upgrade, it was a terrible upgrade with the MS BT stack, and a bunch of apps that previously worked, that now didn't... a LOT of the aximsite members went back to 2003SE.
By the way, the stickied thread about cooked ROMs has a large amount of discussion about WM6 (crossbow) already.
hahaha thanks for the teasing

Bimboy i am aware of the x50's and those upgrades, i owned one before i got the x51v and i am a member of aximsite as well but if you did some reading in to that x50 problem you would have noticed that they cant compare the x50 upgrade to WM5 as what would it take to update the x51v to WM6 as is not the same comparison and OS systems.... and WM5 is not much different then WM6 as what Mobile 2003 was to WM5.....
Also in the end read on how many guys are still enjoying their x50's with WM5 on them as well...So i think the HTC is very likely able to handled WM6 in the end.

No official wm6 for the Trinity

Hi,now it's sure,the Trinity will not benefit upgrade with the official wm6 rom.For info,read here
Check this out
http://www.dopodasia.com/global/hke/news/20070503_Dopod_WM6_upgrade.html
I 've already read this, but i think it's not for Htc Europe.
I donno where I've read it but I remember that dopod will upgrade the 3600 to wm6
Edit sorry losai already mention it
It's an old news you've got "Marcdu81" (april) !! Maybe the petition will have an effect !!
This is old news man! HTC already stated that if demand was high they would change views. I will not even bother posting the threads, go search yourself. Think before you post!
Sorry guys,but i've Phone to Htc France and they confirm : No wm6 for Trinity : I ask him this question : Why ? I wait again the answer !
I think you can wait a long time for nothing...There is no reason except "marketing" !!

You don't need a ROM from HTC. You can load the Dopod ROM to your device when it is released. If you need a French ROM, I'm sure that someone here will make one from the original Dopod D810 WM6 ROM.
i have an official email from Dopod Australia saying that they will be releasing a WM6 gps version soon (in the next couple of months).

Not quite the same getting your ROM from a company that re-badges these devices. I for one am way too lazy to change everything (boot splash etc) in the upcoming Dopod release to make it exactly like HTC.
I think a boycott of HTC phones is way overdue. Eten anyone?

it has been months. dopod aus never got the wm5 gps rom. i don't know why they are taking so long... probably because customer support doesn't make them money. even o2 was faster in releasing wm6 to atom life (and the support is crap, i've had 2 o2's)
by the time they release wm6 with gps rom, the d810, wm6 and even maybe gps will be obsolete, and we will all have a new device.

I know, but then... that's even more a reason to release it if one of your children companies is about to beat you to it.
Call me picky, but I want all the ROM version information/splash/logos etc all to be HTC.
HTC seems to have some automated response for my questions, even if you ask WHY the trinity ain't on the list of phones expecting an update, they send a link to the press release.
Growing a little tired of HTC lately, they're even removing the infrared port from their trinity-successor, Kaiser. What will I do with my $40 worth of TV remote software? Damn it!

I doubt if Kaiser will be released shortly - It has a Qualcomm chip in it, see http://www.boygeniusreport.com/gallery/handsets/htc-kaiser-unboxing/?pid=668#picture_nav
The US ITC has banned imports on phones with Qualcom chip with immediate effect. See http://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/08/business/08phone-web.html
See below - not listed as product by HTC

TouchXperience project progress
Written by Julien Schapman
Saturday, 27 September 2008 07:32
To make you patient until the public release, I decided to give you regular news about TouchXperience project progress and to give you more details about some TouchXperience features. Don't hesitate to make suggestions in the dedicated forum.
The first public release will be (finally!) available in October (2008!), TouchXperience will be available for HTC TyTN, TyTN II, Touch Pro, Touch Diamond, and later Touch HD. Other devices may be supported in the future and non-HTC touch devices (such as Samsung Omnia/i900) are not excluded, but be aware that I need to invest in new devices to work on it, and developping for non-HTC devices may take longer because I use to develop on HTC hardware only.
Site has exceeded bandwidth... he didn't sneak a release out last night did he?
Lol it's might just be the case. Site has never been down since he took it online. I've been checking the release status frequently.

Following some site's the rom is now downloadable. But the site won't work because of the traffic. Also it's possible that some other company has bought the product from him... You never know.
So maybe it won't be downloadable at all. But ofcourse he won't sell it, will he?
Can't wait untill there is some download link available.
Ok taking this back, just read that he won't sell it. Since he said it himself. Hope there will soon be a new mirror. I really respect this

That last link is for a new item posted on 1st August
I'm sure if it was released he would have popped in to say so. Looks like something caused a traffic surge though, maybe he got slashdotted lol.
Hmm....
Yeah, that is pretty interesting... I guess we'll have to follow up over the weekend to see what the truth is!
Try clicking on the link in the Dutch forum, it sends you to the "Site has exceeded bandwidth" screen. Schaps may have released it but has been too busy to post it here. Could also just be a demo or test app...
Will keep trying and update later..
Unfortunately the recent release of the Android 1.0 source code (http://source.android.com/download) and the HTC ROMS that will surely follow may make this project moot.
Kaiser ROM Development
Hermes Android ROM Discussion
Especially considering that Windows Mobile 7 may not be out until 2010.
But so goes the software industry...
Not really as the developement of Android for the Hermes isn't exactly powering along and the general consensus is that it may not be possible to port Android to the Hermes. Something to do with the fact Hermes is a ARM4 processor and Android was made to work on ARM5.
Cheers...

bing wrote first that there is no download, 3 weeks later truffel50 asked and bing wrote that schap's computer crashed...
i can't find anything that speaks for a download and the first comment from bing says there is no download so we have to wait until we don't need it anymore becuase we can controll our new high tech devices with our mind or so...
That may be true

But the Hermes doesn't have much real life left, in fact the Kaiser is getting a bit old, too. At least as far as mobile devices go.
The Kaiser is not even a year old. Hell AT&T does not even have a replacement yet for the tilt.

Yah its coming out Q2 of 2009 meaning roughly around summer of 2009... I confirm this from T-Mobile...
Any idea what kind of device it is ?
I was told that it is pretty much the same layout with a new rom and of course 3G and a lot sleeker and thinner... plus a bigger screen...
I heard it came with Mojave
What about the original Tmobile WM6 Rom Developers?
Who knows, who those people are...

Some of their names are in the provisioning files of the original TMobile WM6 ROM I've combed through each one and there's at least 3 or 4 names in there from people making comments on why they're changing a setting in the ROM.. heh
Without any doubt KAVANA and RICKY has done are great job at the beginning. They have inovated every person who are using a HTC620 device - making WM61 stuff available for anybody. Fantastic.
After installing the latest version from NRG I have to say, halligalli. For me it's the best cooked version I ever saw. Awesome.
Last but not least, it work's perfect for everyone who does not have an US keyboard. Sometimes this is an important thing for the user outside US.
Thanks NRG!

when?

wow when some one is coming out with a new rom im getting so bored of 3vo please some is there a new update
Well, 3VO ROM is good, but I cannot use GPRS completely (Google Map, Windows Live Mess, other IM softwares doesn't work). Bluetooth suck, cannot send anything. I've been using ROSE ROM 1.7 remade, (WM 6.1) but really nice. GPRS ok, bluetooth ok. Try that!
i had it before its good but i think that the dash has potential is just the developers are not caring any more about it so i think i might go back to 1.7 from ricky and NRG
there are other 6.5 roms, have you tried them?

you seem to forget that the dash is a 4 year old phone and is not that easy for chefs to come up with new roms. A lot of new roms need much more ram and a faster processor and the dash just can't provide that. be sure when someone does, it will be available, so instead of being upset, be happy of the variety you got.
or just get a new phone like i did, i loved my dash, but i wanted something better.

To which is the reason production on ROMs has slowed down, most chefs have new devices as we all like a faster CPU, more RAM & Storage and a new GUI to play with
