already a post regarding this....

[Zuber]

So are the new ROMs peing posted at the moment based on this or still being derived from other sources ?

Looks like there is plenty of life left in the phone yet. Though I'm starting to lean towards getting myself a Nokia E90. Does not have the enthusiastic Dev base that WM has though...

I called sales for On The Go Solutions, Inc., www.onthegosolutions.com website, Ph. # 1-866-746-4684 out of Skokie, IL and the sales person told me that H.T.C out of Taiwan released the "Windows Mobile 6 Professional" for the I-mate Jasjar & Qtek 9000 1 month ago. If somebody out there could get this download that would be greatly appreciated and share this with us. Or if someone is interested in purchasing either device the onthegosolutions technical support upgrades this device for you with Windows Mobile 6.0 Professional and they will also give you the download link which you can pass onto all the xda-developers members.

I just checked the club imate download web site, and they post the old Windows Mobile 5 AKU 2 for i-mate Jasjar.

Wow.. I'm wondering which web site we can download the official WM6 ROM for i-mate Jasjar.

[mrtwig]

There is indeed not a download link, I just send a e-mail I-mate, to verify this information, I'll hope I get a response soon, because I'm sure to use my device even longer.


I reveived the basic mail back with a automized awnser,
"With regards to your query please note, that i-mate is progressing plans to make WM 6.0 upgrade available on as many of its devices as possible. We are investigating the possibilities with our product suppliers and Microsoft at this time, and we will be in a position to clarify the situation by the end of this month. Please bear with us while we investigate what is possible and keep a close eye on the www.clubimate.com website for further news and updates."

So it is the basic delay to do it on the "next" monday and the same awnser I have been reading troughout different forums and topics

I wonder how true this report is...???

Can you imagine if someone actually buys a Universal from them and they end up sending a link to one of the customized ROMs from XDA Developers site?

Update regarding the Windows Mobile 6 for the I-mate Jasjar & Qtek 9000. I called and spoke with Dovid from technical support at the On The Go Solutions Store and he informed me that the "Windows Mobile 6 is from Jwrightmcps cooked rom" which is not the official rom released from H.T.C from Tawian. According to the polls comparing to the other cooked roms Jason's rom is the top rom at this time. So this is where the www.onthegosolutions or www.imatephonestore is getting their rom from Jason out of Chicago, IL. and advertising this on their website.

Just as I thought, A SCAM TO MAKE PEOPLE BUY THEIR PRODUCT.

I wonder if JWright know about this???

[Park]

According to Dovid technical support person at the On The Go Solutions or I-matephone store Jason does know about this which when I spoke to Dovid technical support said that Jason is submitting his cooked rom to them which in my opinion is false advertising. When I first had called yesterday the lady I spoke to in sales first told me that the "Windows Mobile 6 Professional" for the I-mate Jasjar & Qtek 9000 was a release from H.T.C out of Taiwan which was a 1 month ago. Then when she called me later in the day on Friday she told me that this was incorrect information and switched me over to Dovid which I had questioned him that I was a xda-developers member and if this was possibly a cooked rom because there are 5 or 6 other xda-developer members cooking up cooked roms. This information as to my understanding is 100% correct information. I also called T-Mobile my service provider for my Qtek 9000 and told technical support that they need to contact H.T.C out of Taiwan once Windows Mobile 6 Professional is available for the Qtek 9000 and contact me once they have this. I also told T-Mobile technical support that if they receive enough calls from their customers requesting the "Windows Mobile 6 Professional' upgrade once available H.T.C will then request this for T-Mobile and not give this to any other person that has a Qtek 9000, I-mate Jasjar, etc or similar device branded by H.T.C

Oh no! not again :(

Are you kidding me I spent $1700 NZD on the IMATE Jas Jar ( I could have got a laptop) and there is doubt about an upgrade to WM6..

Are you serious....???$%#@?%?

Jas Jar have only been out for a short time surely the expected operational time span is longer than this ...

I'm afraid not, its a phone. Usual lifespan of a phone is about a year to 18 months, the jasjar/mda-pro/universal has already lasted much longer than most.

[Digs]

A phone, how dear you sir... its a pocket PC, tell me which phone can do all the functionality of Jas jar.

Pocket Pc are a mini laptop.

This does not remove the responsibility of IMATE/HTC to put out a OS update for WM6.

I can't agree more!
We invest lots of money on a PDA an the brands don't want to support their customers after a single year.
Not all universal owners bought their PDA at it's lunching... :(

Hi
to all you people who doubt whether the wm6 is official or not:
1.wm6 is 'official'
2.you people are asking for software support from the vendors who are only capable of etching their logo on a finished product.
3.there are different ROM versions and all are cooked because no hardware vendors have officially launched it yet.
4.All you members are familiar with 'search engines',use one,find wm6,or go to microsoft.com and you will be enlightened.
5.I am using wm6 on my o2 exec with a 4 GB SD,everything is flawless and HTML mail support is just superb.
" NO REPEATEDLY BUSTED 4GB CARD( THRICE)SHOULDN'T HAVE SPKEN TOO EARLY."
So stop this demand to have an official ROM from o2 or i-mate, for nobody demanded a wm5 official rom for a wm2003 BA?

If you think you are smart enough and all people posting here , sharing opinions are wasting time, then why don'nt you do something useful rather than being cynical.
If you think you know how to use the search engine better than all of us in here, then be our guest and show us what you found. :mad:

[kalya]

Anie1 ,
no need to be touchy,I am not being cynical.The issue here is do we really depend on the official ROMS and use them.What are you using?Why do we need to discuss this?And why do we need'this' site?
The hardware is provided by HTC and the software by Microsoft ,and that's that.I am just suggesting to check the microsoft-official site to confirm that wm6 is really out.
There is no denying that the companies viz.O2,i-mate etc. just sell the finished products.That's why this site is a developers site,and there are very few querris regarding hardware as compared to software?Alright?

[mrtwig]

It is not regarding of windows mobile 6 is already out, that is out of the question, the question is to make a specific device build for the JasJar e.d. This is done by the hardware vendor HTC and not done by microsoft, but with a device vendor kit and support of microsoft, however asking for a build of a rebrander like T-mobile, I-mite, an economical persuasion, like a demand from a rebrander enables a larger change of a windows mobile 6 build by HTC.

In your previous post you mentioned that you have wm6 in your EXEC.
You also said to use search engine.
And you also said that check microsoft site.

Just think rationally, ar'nt we all loking for solutions in here. Yes we do visit this forum to share our opinions and exchange ideas, that does'not mean we have not done our homework.

Perhaps the manner in which you related your opinion was not positive.

Official wm6 is out and yes M$ has offered free upgrade, however, it all depends upon OEM's to offer the same free to the users. Some are offering and some dont.

Is there a point of discussing hardware? I dont' think so. We all want upgrades to our OS and thats what wm6 is all about. Very seldom you will find
any discussion on hardware.
Many are still using Official Roms. Tweaking it a bit here and there is what many visit in here for answers.

WM6 had come out in beta stage and now its official. So Yes we are indeed loking for Official Wm6 if its available .

how about video call in wm6???
how about new better drivers??? (say an sd driver that supports all 4gb sd cards)
how about solving the gprs/3G mess....

what would be better... the developres spending there time improving a un-official beta rom of universal or developers spending time removing the bugs from an official release???

[kalya]

To all people,
especially 'aniel1', I say "sorry" if you feel I suggested in any manner that you're wasting your time or I am above you people.No I didn't intend to.
As fallenczar suggests it is better if the software support is improved by the companies,I agree, but I doubt it.( am I really cynical ?)

[TehPenguin]

Why is this thread continuing?


It is obvious that our first beacon of hope (the JasJar that shipped with WM6) is not using an official version of WM6 and that HTC and its rebranders are FAR more interested in selling us new phones than supporting their old ones.

Consider the HTC Alpine - The people using this phone have been crying out for WM5 for years (or at least a better version of 2003SE), however HTC has ignored them and, instead, brought out newer (and smaller\more functional) phone. Now, admittedly, it has been shown that the Alpine can't run WM5 - but my point still stands - HTC wants us to either get an Athena, an Orbit or some other device that already has WM6 on it.


So, to conclude: it would be far better to stop bothering HTC about our device and focus on considering how we can help the ROM developers on this forum do their job

No offence meant in this post - I just wanted to have a good rant about this...
