8525 to get downloadable WM6 Update

[bkbroil]

According to this Engadget article, (http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/03/26/cingulars-treo-750-blackjack-and-8525-get-wm6-treatment/) it looks like the 8525 will get a WM6 downloadable update.

But I don't think it will be available until the June or July timeframe. And besides, it isn't nearly as fun as the versions available to us here! (And you'll probably have to pay for it!:mad: )

Quote from the article:
At the CTIA Wireless tradeshow this week, Microsoft announced that AT&T (formerly Cingular) will be providing Windows Mobile 6 as a free upgrade to current customers using the Samsung Blackjack, HTC 8525, or Palm Treo 750. AT&T is the first wireless carrier to confirm such plans.

Sir, I stand corrected :)
would a 18 hour work day be a valid excuse ? haha :cool:

[adebilloez]

As tester for "legal" user, may I propose a voucher for XDA-Dev community for free upgrade ?

Seems very true for WM6 (check how many WM6 rom before WM6 availability)



Cheers

Oh WOW. So in three or 4 months we might be able to run WM6 on our 8525's. That's what I'd be saying if the excellent members of this excellent site hadn't already made that available to us in several wonderful flavors! Instead I'll be saying... WM6? Yeah, been using it for MONTHS now. Glad to hear the rest of you finally caught up!
