Im a big time noob in windows mobile and HTC i have never had a WM phone before, So my question is, can i get WM 6.5 on my touch pro 2 somehow? seen it on diamon and old touch but haven't seen it on touch pro 2 well besides that youtube video.
It will be offered as a free upgrade, no need to hack.
As fortunz said, HTC will provide a wm6.5 upgrade but no date has been established yet. Once we have the official wm6.5, then are chefs will be cooking up some 6.5 roms as well.

rom's will start coming as soon as the hardspl is finished. until then we all will just have to wait, but when it does get done all our tp2 will be alot better than the stock roms.

That was a tiny one.
ROM=Read Only Memory. This is a pre-programmed chip in the phone that, among other, also contain the OS. Many other programs and utilities can also be programmed into the ROM.

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.

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.

Since the other thread has been locked, people are bound to start creating useless threads asking stupid questions over and over again, so I might as well create a "for dummies" thread that people *might* look at and not post...
Q: What OS is it?
A: WM6
Q: When will it be available?
A: Unknown
Q: What customizations will it have?
A: See first post of the real "XDA Live" thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294809
Q: Is it from provider "X"?
A: No, it's from multiple ones, and you cannot be told which ones.
Q: Why isn't it released yet?
A: Because all identifying information in the ROM must be found and eliminated, otherwise kyphur's source may be fired from his/her job or worse. Does NDA mean anything to you?
That's all I can think of so far.
what OS is it again, and when will it be released
i couldnt resist, i had to be first
What is Windows Mobile? Does it run on MS Dos 6.22?

I did flash it with the "Universal ROM". It worked great and I think another name for the "Universal" is "Vanilla" and it will work on all devices especially the Palm 850. Has anyone seen the 850 yet?

this is by far the most useless thread on here (except spam).. Normally i would lock something like this.. However, i think in the current situation with board and the whole M$ thing i think this is a good thread to let people finally shrug that pile of M$ sh!t off their shoulders and have a little fun before getting back to business..(hopefully the other mods agree with me).. so have some fun, but eventually this thread will have to go bye-bye
BTW i heard that kyphur and steve jobs were good buddies and he is going to release the iphone OS for the hermes this new rom will have it all, it will even wipe your a$$

In English please.
Not everybody is as fluent in English as you probably are, so I think we should be a little tolerant...
I think what he is trying to ask is if WM 6.1 will ever be made available for the HTC 620.

Yep I fully believe 6.1 and 7 will be available for the S620. If not supplied by HTC then it will be cooked up for the community. WM6 is available for the C500 for gods sake, the 2nd windows smartphone ever, released in 2004!

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?

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?

Well, I can see that it looks like that.
Actually I'm trying to make a point. I have had WM devices for a number of years now. WM6 was the last proper advance and that was a while ago and really only made things stable. WM5 was a dog imo
I just find it very telling that so many WM users are trying to get Android to run yet I'd say (prove me wrong) no one who has a device that doesn't run WM is trying to run it.
What does that say ?

It says... other devices are limited to 1 OS, while WinMo has the ability to expand across several. Right now, I'm running WinMo 6.5, Android, and Blackberry software, in 1 phone.
What does that say ?
That says that HTC release some excellent hardware and that there are some dedicated hackers (white hat) out there willing to help out.
Why, what did you think ?
