WM6 officially coming to the D810

[AJB]

All,

Just a quick note ... thought you'd be interested.

I contacted Dopod here in Australia, trying to find out when the official Australian D810 (with GPS) ROM would be available. I have also been requesting any details of whether or not Dopod would release WM6 for the D810.

The response on my query for the GPS ROM resulted in the following:

It looks like it is 4 weeks away.

We will also bring WM6 with GPS in another 2-3 months time for the D810.

How's that for good news!!

[lawrencel]

what a great news!!! althought I don't have a D810...

[ausdim]

Great news....

Any one else can ask Dopod for confirmation about the wm6???

I'm not Dopod costumer... :o

Thank's...

[prsnow]

You got this information directly from Dopod? Hmmmm, for some reason I just don't believe you.

[pascal1973]

Super, thanks for the good news

[copysat]

It looks like it is 4 weeks away"
We will also bring WM6 with GPS in another 2-3 months time for the D810"
thats was official reply or chat ! ! !

[ItalianTytan]

WHOA!!!! GREAT NEWS if confirmed!!!! :D :cool:

[eXcape]

cool great news we will be waiting :D

[jpless]

Sounds like a duck to me, not very plausible.

But then again if true, then very very cool!

[Hajaz]

awesome news if true

[Benzin]

Importer for Spain and Portugal convinced HTC will officialy release WM6 for Trinity in few months. No data on timespan known at the moment. Same source says immediate release of WM5 GPS enabled ROM (next week).
This was already said. Hope true.

[hcarrega]

this is good news

[mikesol]

What did I say in the donation thread? If we pay a bunch of money (and I did, don't get me wrong), an official release will happen.

You know if we hadn't, they wouldn't have bothered... :$

[NOKIAS]

Hope its true!

But in Portugal the importer its NovaBase, and when the dopod gps version cames out, i've contacted NovaBase to know if HTC was going to release a gps rom, and the tell that it would be released during the February month!....

So, las week i've mailed them again and said that February has passed, and no rom released.... than I ask if they have a prevision to release that and ask too if they will release this quipment with wm6..... they answerd that gps will be released but no time prevision and tell that dont have plans to release wm6!

It is not worry, if dopod releases it! I am using the gps rom for dopod d810 in my p3600 and it is great!

Attachment:

Exmo. Sr. Não temos uma data certa para existir a actualização de ROM. Deverá consultar o site da HTC Europa (www.europe.htc.com). Não existem planos para haver um upgrade de sistema operativo Windows Mobile 6. Cumprimentos, Equipa do Mobility Support

(7- march-2007)

Hope dopod releases it! (as soooooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnn as possible!) ;)

[AJB]

To put further context around the information I received:


The reply was from Dopod Support
I have been communicating with Dopod Support on a range of queries. In Australia, they were going to release an RSS Reader (which they haven't yet, but I was lucky enough to get a Test Version - it is just rebranding an existing RSS Reader available), and while I was asking I queried about:

GPS Australian ROM
Official RSS Reader Release
Availaibility of the Blackberry Client in Australia (which they have made available in other markets)
Whether or not WM6 would be made available, even for a small fee

I have now got confirmation from Dopod that the official Australian GPS ROM will be available in around 4 weeks
No confirmation as to the final release of the RSS Reader
No confirmation when the Blackberry Client will be available in the Australian market
Confirmation that Dopod will release WM6 for the D810 (Trinity) in 2 to 3 months


From my discussions with Dopod, it appeared that with there discussions with M$, M$ was apparently going to offer an upgrade installer for WM5 devices. My guess is that they have not provided it as Dopod wanted to provide WM6 via this channel, but as it is no longer happening I see this as the catalyst for providing it.

Take from this what you will, but I am very excited about this news from Dopod.

[NOKIAS]

Nice!!!!

So..... lets wait!

It was nice too if HTC makes da same, But if doesn't make, we have de dopod rom!

Tks!

[ericlin0122]

basically
dopod = HTC, cuz HTC bought dopod already.

[banesi]

... Take from this what you will, but I am very excited about this news from Dopod.

Man thank you for this news, it seems that P3600 will be in my posession more than I previously thought :) an year for sure ;) but as you may see there was MANY speculations about release versions of GPS and WM6 ROM's and none of them happens to be true, at least not for HTC branded devices and it is 6 (six!) months since original HTC ROM present in my P3600 :(

BTW, I see you have some F1 action in couple of hours in your town, man I would give my Trinity to be there now :)

[forcedalias]

That's wonderful news assuming it's true.

However, I guess I'm going to be switching to the upcoming E-Ten X800 (http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/15/e-tens-glofiish-x800-everything-but-the-qwerty/) since it comes with WM6, VGA and (presumably a better than Qualcomm) GPS unit at launch.

Hey that x800 phone looks pretty cool.
I think you've convinced me to switch to that phone when it's released...

[Benzin]

Mine is same source as "NOKIAS" (Spanish branch).

[Camstech]

Pity the X800 does not appear to have WCDMA850, only WCDMA2100. 850MHz is the frequency of the Australian Telstra "Next G" network. The D810 has this band which makes it ideal for Oz. I used the HSDPA facility to check the weather while attending the F1 race. Like the cars, HSDPA is very fast!

I read some news (I don't remember the web site) that explained that the x800 indeed has all three UMTS/WCDMA bands (800/850,1900,2100) but I guess we'll just have to wait and see. I hope it has the 850MHz band also.

[Hajaz]

could you gys please take the x800 dicussion elsewhere?
its kindof annoying when youve just bought your trinity :)

[Happyman]

I hope it's real. So If we don't have wm6 official roms.We will have wm6 unofficial rom instead.

[grahamrb]

I emailed dopod australia the other day enquiring about the release of WM6 on the 810. When I emailed them I didn't own the dopod, but I gave in the yesterday and bought one. Anyway, I got an email back today from them...

Hi Graham,

Yes we are planning to release WM6 ROM code upgrade in about 2 months time. This will be a GPS enabled ROM code as well for the D810.

Thanks.

Kind regards,

[grahamrb]

If they don't we'll all be running Australian roms :D .

Yeah, you'll all have to answer the phone with G'Day. (I'm Australian so I'm allowed to have a little fun).

You call that a knife?!? ;)

[MontAlbert]

I can also confirm this- follows is an email from Dopod:

Hi Scott,

Yes that is correct. I am guessing that it about 2 months away from here. It might be released earlier if we get the approval from the mobile operators sooner.

Subject: Dopod D810 GPS and WM6 ROM

Hi,
I read somewhere that there will be a new ROM released for the D810 which
will have both GPS and Windows Mobile 6 on it. I was wondering if this was
correct and whether you any idea of when this will be released?

Thanks
Scott


=============
so there we have it- so that probably means that the Asian ROMs will also be out with WM6 at around the same time.....????

Scott

[djredtiger]

Well, that's also a good auto-response looking answer... don't give much credit to that as I guess they would send the same if I would ask for a red colored dopod LE to be realeased...XD

Obvously, the answer from our Australian friends look much more "human" and reliable ;)

good news if they have chinese version too!

[sgou]

QTEK SWEDEN:
Upgrade to Windows Mobile 6 will be available during the summer 2007
for the following Windows Mobile 5.0 powered devices:
HTC Advantage (X7500)
HTC S620
HTC TyTN
HTC P4350
HTC P3300
http://msmobiles.com/news.php/6247.html

Nothing about WM6 on Trinity by QTEK..

Can somebody who owns a DOPOD Trinity ask again DOPOD.
Its almost one month since last Post from DOPOD
was announced in a previous thread. How is the situation now?
Its even more interestig for all people thinking to buy the Trinity :)

[ItalianTytan]

even if trinity isn't included in this list, i don't think they will not upgrade it too. It doesn't make any sense to upgrade 3300 and tytn and NOT the 3600... :confused: sounds like a punishment or something :rolleyes: anyway that list is by qtek which is quite marginal compared to official HTC support or even Dopod. So, i think that list will be expanded soon :)

It's punishment because for now Trinity has all the features that we want and with the resent firmware it's soooo sweat, thanks again LVSW :P

[Loboman]

Is TYTN and P3600 the same hardware? Then it might happen..

Didn't Qtek brand fade out after launching TyTn? Maybe this is the reason, they never launched P3600, not in Spain, they are only HTC branded.

[sickboy555]

I thought I read somewhere that only devices with keyboards would be getting WM6.

I will be OVER THE MOON if the Trinity does get an official WM6 ROM. :-D

Even if it is an Australian one......! Bonzer!

[Moaske]

I thought I read somewhere that only devices with keyboards would be getting WM6...
I read that too somwhere....but think of it; where have you found a keyboard on the P3300 ??? :D I think there will be an update.....but it will probably get it last of the whole bunch....they've already 'wasted' ;) a lot of time on it with the GPS feature...

With WM6 this thing would be just utterly perfect :p

this is non-sense. the eten x800 does not have a keyboard either and it has wm6. so also devices without a keyboard can handle wm6.

This is not entirely true. It's true that Q-Tek sweden has published a list of HTC devices that will get a free upgrade to WM6, but when you send a message to HTC via www.smartmobility.nl (the dutch HTC site), they say the following:

"Thank you for contacting HTC Europe regarding a query about Windows Mobile 6.

We are currently awaiting an official response from our Head Office on the matter of ROM updates from Windows Mobile 5.0 to Windows Mobile 6. We hope to have an answer for you soon."

When I asked for a specified list of HTC devices that will get a upgrade they say the following:

"There is no list avaible of models that will get Windows Mobile 6 and models that won't get it."

Q-Tek Sweden is pretty fast with publishing a list of devices that will get WM6, it's very odd, because the rest of Europe (i'm sorry, the rest of planet earth :D) has no idea wich device will get it and wich won't. So I think it's a mater of time, or a rom-update to Dopop :D.

I think you can count on it that the HTC P3600 also gets a Windows mobile 6 upgrade. Orrrr.....we have complained a bit to much about the GPS antena :p and this is our punishment.

[sgou]

I think there will be no htc upgrade for trinity till june..
Potentially will come later some time. What a shame,
a 3G phone with GPS and no WM6, no outlook with html support !!!
For new buyers this is no good news. Who wants to pay this,
without the secure feeling he ll get soon WM6.

I think all hopes for an official upgrade are left now on DOPOD.
It would be good to see dopod customers of the thread to keep
on mailing. You better flood there mailboxes...


http://msmobiles.com/news.php/6269.html

We have chosen devices with a particular focus on “messaging”, where users will enjoy the greatest benefits of Windows Mobile 6 (the HTC Advantage, the HTC TyTN, the HTC S620, and the HTC P4350). The upgrade will also be available for the award-winning HTC P3300.

- Will other devices be added?

Potentially. We’re in constant discussions with our operator partners, and if they’re seeing significant demand from their customers for a specific device then we will always consider it.

dopod will not be releasing Blackberry Connect for AUS customers as telstra no longer support it as they have a contract with GoodLink...

[sgou]

Currently we have not finalized the GPS ROM code for Australia. We are waiting to get the type approval from the Mobile Operators. Once we have the ROM code approved, then only we will release it to the market. I am guessing it is about 2 months away. The new ROM code will include a free upgrade to the WM6 operating system. We will keep you posted. Please feel free to check the Dopod AU website at a later date.
Please note – this ROM code has been released in other countries because their testing and approval criteria are not as strict when compared to Australia. Once we get the approval, we will post it on our website.

testing the Dopod 810 ROM RTO at the moment... still has alot of work to go ;)

[FuzzMunky]

Mr Walshie,

Does this ROM have WM6 as the OS?

If so could you dump it or just the xip for mun_rus?

[AkshayGenius]

If dopod 810 can have wm6 then I'm sure that even htc 3600/trinity can have it so.

[namphet]

:) Thanks ;)

[AkshayGenius]

why? why!! why cant it be out for the htc p3600???

[Matterhorn]

[solmanic]

If this thread is still going - I have just spoken with Dopod support and they sound pretty confident that the official Australian WM6 GPS enabled ROM is about two weeks away. This will be available via download from the Australian Dopod website with login and will work on any network - ie. no particular "3" cr@p will be installed.

Now I have had several plumbers quote me two weeks in the past - so that means it may be here by Christmas...

I had exactly the same response when I emailed today ... 2 weeks away, and to keep an eye on the Dopod Member Site. My guess is that they are getting sick of me emailing them asking for it.

Agree though .... will believe it when I see it.

[maysa]

Hi - I've read in other forums since before I bought my D810 that it'll "be two weeks away" - that's been the story for over six weeks now. I won't hold my breath :)

........
Please note – this ROM code has been released in other countries because their testing and approval criteria are not as strict when compared to Australia.

Who can find these test ROM's? There are some chefs here which can make them ready for us ..... I would like to test too, because my criteria are even more strict than in Australia :)

[Stingray66]

No more wait guyz, mUn has already finalized the code and will upload it 2morrow. So no need to wait no more!
