Official T-Mobile(US) WM 6.1 projected release?

[groggy23]

Anyone have any info on the projected release of the official T-Mobile(US) Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM available for download from their website?

Just out of curiosity, did you hear they were even planning on releasing an official 6.1 ROM for the DASH?

I know I had inquired about this around April through their "tech Support"... >gasp< >choke< >cough, cough<.... and things didn't look good as far as an update - although I really think they didn't have a clue to what I was talking about or what Windows Mobile was....

lol I got that same vibe from the customer care team! "We have no knowledge of a Windows Mobile 6.1". Like there's some sort of federal figure that'll come from the shadows and abduct them if they utter the words...

It probably depends on just how long tmo-usa is planning to keep selling the DASH. It's been around for a while and they had to put WM6.0 on it because it was still selling fairly well.

I know tmo isn't what it used to be when it comes to putting out hot, new phones and end-of-lifeing older ones, but it just wouldn't seem like a smooth business move for them to put out WM6.1 on such an old phone. After all, they want you to keep buying new ones at contract's end.

Still, it might take a single tmo developer about a day-and-a-half to take one of Kavana's or Ricky's ROMs and brand it for an upgrade ;)

Na it won't be out thats what I heard that 6.1 will not come out for the dash. Also, they plan on discontinuing the dash with the new 3G coming in since the dash is not 3G compatible.
