Hi Everyone,

I bought the lobster around october and for what it lacks in rugged good looks you be hard pressed to find a decent portable dab radio at twice the price, and you get all the other great features too. So all told i am a big fan of the phone and its a shame they are discontinuing the service.

But my question is this. If i were to have a copy of wm6 is there a way of upgrading the lobster to the new operating system or is this impossible? Was waiting for htc to release details of an update but i had the feeling it would be passed by and it there is no chance of this happening now.

Or i saw on here a rom update created for the tornado. Does XDA have any plans to create a release for the lobster?

Would appreciate any info on this or tell me im living in a dream land :-)

thanks!!

Hi,

Yes, I'm a fan too, pretty much for the same reasons. There is a patch on here originally for the Tornado that allows for A2DP for stereo headphones etc.

I'm thinking if the phone is as generic a QVGA SmartPhone as it appears then it should be possible to convert a similar phones WM6, however I think there would need to be some customization to allow the DAB radio to still work...

I would be interested too, if anyone has looked at this. I think this phone is a classic. I hope it doesn't get 'left behind'.

Regards,

James

Yeah i figured the same, would be pretty gutted if could actually upgrade but lose the DAB cos its a great little addition. Fingers crossed...
