"Conclusions: this news story is too good to be true, but we publish it nonetheless. Please note that by now it has never happened that any HTC made phone (smartphone or Pocket PC phone) was being offered a ROM upgrade to major version (from Windows Mobile 2002 to Windows Mobile 2003 or from Windows Mobile 2003 to Windows Mobile 5.0) although E-Ten is offering upgrade to Windows Mobile 5.0 for their M500 Pocket PC phone. It has never happened by now (for HTC phones) so it is very unlikely that it will happen now. Anyway: HTC Magician is an extremely popular Pocket PC phone and if this news would be confirmed to be true, it would be real revolution for many thousands people."
