I already got my on the last Saturday, RM4150. By the way i'm from Malaysia. I thought Singapore should be faster?

Hi chtan,

That's Great!

Some say it is already available in HWH since March 24 (Saturday), but I was busy over the weekend, so I was not able to go to SLS...

Hi guys!

I just wanted to know if the devices in Singapore are coming out with a World Wide English ROM?

If so, could you be so kind to Extract it and share it with us?

If someone is interested, the steps are very simple, just follow the instructions that Buzz made for us:

I bought my from a mobile phone shop in Penang. If you source around here, you should be able to get an even better bargain. My friend got his at RM4050.

I got mine for my friend without contract at 9500HKD (About 1200USD)

Thanks for the input. Do we know if Dopod will issue a WM6 upgrade to its early adopters or will the U1000 be yet another device that gets stuck with the OS version that it is delivered with?

[jameshuang]

In HTC/Dopod's history and attitude towards its loyal early adaptor....
It is very likely we need to get WM6 via unoffical channel. (Like Hermes)

Especially, the model# change from 7500/ 7501...

Hah. www.dopodasia.com says new products from April 07 will come with WM6... Might as well wait a few more weeks before making a decision. Thanks for the pointer.

U1000 is no longer a "new" product. ;)
