WM6 Running on HTC!

[DAFTEK]

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?

:D WM6 Running on HTC!


The title of this thread is VERY misleading. I was almost excited!

[rjtd]

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.

[DAFTEK]

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 :p

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..... :rolleyes:

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 :D

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.

@spirit: I see in another thread you got WM6 AND won an 8525? Lucky dog! I didn't get your comment in that post, though - something like "I guess WM6 is useless now?"

In the post above you write that you like WM6. You got it on your 8525?

The HTC they showed in the movie wasn't the TyTN / Hermes, but this info might give us a little more hope:

Windows Mobile Crossbow sighted on HTC Hermes Smartphone
Published: 11-12-2006 13:41:00.
For now there is NO ROM upgrade with Windows Mobile Crossbow for HTC Hermes but somebody is using this phone for testing of this new major version of Windows Mobile operating system.

FYI: I don't have 3G where i live so i couldn't care much about that and my comment was more of a sarcastic remark, I'm about 190 miles from the nearest 3G signal. From what i am hearing from Cingular and reading on some Mac forums is that they most likely will have 3g.... Allot its still not known about this phone, but some so called experts just hate Apple....

If those videos have HTC phones then the thread was titled correctly!

Edit: To The Moderator, your edit left out the "C" in HTC :rolleyes: So i corrected it for you....

HTC will release a free downloadable rom to install wm 06. i talked to a htc rep and he confirmed it but he does not have a release date. he just said later this year. but they are in a hurry to get it out because there are several problems with wm 05 and vista.

Yes..they've downloaded the wm6 from here, installed onto on hermes and then took that foto! :)

Gigle :)


Too Funny!

It always amazes me how someone can "jump" right into a conversation without any idea of whats going on.

This is mind-boggling. You found a 3 month old thread about WM6, but not a current one about WM6 French Version. Not even on the first page of this forum?
