Hopefully T-Mobile will also have a WM6 upgrade for the Ameo at some point in the future.

Well... HTC is releasing WM6 for the Advantage, so I'm guessing it's comming...

T-Mobile Germany unofficially said that they were working on an WM6 version for the Ameo. So wait a bit and we will see.

Where was this from? Was this a conversation with customer services, or something a bit more substantial?

Cheers

Well this is the response I got from T-Mobile UK yesterday so im not holding my breath.

Hello,

Thank you for your email about windows mobile 6.

At present we have no plans to offer an upgrade to WM6 on any of our MDA phone. This is something we are looking onto however so this may change in the future.

I'm sorry I did not have better news for you on this occasion, if you have any further queries please don't hesitate to contact us again.

Kind regards
RossT-Mobile

That is just about MDA devices, Ameo is new device

I'd be surprised if they did release an OS upgrade... T-Mobile don't tend to do something if there's nothing in it for them, like most big businesses....

The phone is designed for their point of view for the top exec for company phones, most companies of which wouldn't care what it's got on it as long as it does the job for their employee at the cheapest contract price.

I know it's not in the title, but I'm pretty sure T-Mobile classify the Ameo within the MDA range, their WM.PPC wing

It was a conversation with the competence center of multimedia and technology from T-Mobile in Germany, I think it was Berlin. They assured that development of the WM6 update of the Ameo was on schedule, it would take at least another 4 weeks until it was complete. It was said that only the MDA Compact III (Artimis) and Ameo (Athena) would get a WM6 update. As I said its nothing official. We also now the Dash got an update, perhaps more devices will get one.

Is the X7501 actually available? Would the ROM work on an X7500 or, more importantly an Ameo....
I am getting my Ameo soon and not looking forward to going back to WM5....

i don't think the x7501 ROM will work on X7500 or Ameo, x7501 don't have the video call function. If you want wm6 on your Athena, you can install DOPOD's ROM

I diddn't think any WM6 ROMs had video (mu Universal one doesn't) and I didn't know there was a Dopod WM6 for the Athena! Do you ahve a link? I'm getting an ameo soon, can it be installed on that?

Thanks.

the reason why your WM6 Universal don't have video call function is because the ROM is not official, the official ROM will have the video function. And yes DOPOD will have WM6 for DOPOD U1000, but is not out yet, it will be available next month but at this moment you can't flash it, you need a CID unlock tool first.
