Thanks T-Mobile!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[garymeg]

Thank you for your Email.
Unfortunately T_mobile will not be releasing any Windows Mobile 6 updates / upgrades, T-Mobile have released the following statement:
T-Mobile UK will be including Windows Mobile 6 on all new MDA devices that are launched starting with the MDA Touch (launched 11/07/07) and MDA Vario III in September.
The existing devices in the MDA portfolio will continue to use Windows Mobile 5 and there will be no software upgrade to Windows Mobile 6 for these devices.
T-Mobile have decided that bringing in new MDA devices that make best use of the features of Windows Mobile 6 is a better use of our resources than rolling it out on existing devices that work perfectly well with Windows Mobile 5.

You should therefore be seeing more new and exciting MDA products later in 2007 and in 2008.
I am sorry if this is not the information that you were looking for.
Best regards,
David McAnally
T-Mobile


In other words Tough luck if you allready bought your device, You ain't gonna get WM6 from us best you use someone else's like O2's and customize it for yourself then

Shall we start a patition and bombard TMO with e-mails to customer service untill we get a better responce?

Why would you want to install a T-Mobile Rom when there are far better roms for download here?

[Tha]

its more the thing that they said they would do it, and now they wont.
so they will never give support on it, while almost everybody has already changed.
but screw them... i don't even want to use T-mobiles stuffed with pink shit rom

I cannot test it myself because my MDAcIII is the Dutch version. I don't know also about the situation in the UK but here in Holland T-Mobile is not (yet) given users a hard time when they returned their phones for a reflash after having it bricked when trying to upgrade to WM6 (I'm talking about the pre-USPL period now). Often enough T-Mobile does it even without charging anything.

Besides, I suggest not to go back to WM5 when you want to sell the phone. It even might be an extra sellingpoint when it runs on WM6.
