Official Upgrade to WM6.1 - not available

[figgehedberg]

Hi,

I recently sent a message to HTC Support asking:

Hi, I recently accquired a HTC Touch P3452 from Thailand with WM6.0 as OS. Through the last months I have seen updates to WM6.1 become available for Europe and US customers.
Since my phone is from Asia-pacific region I have been told that these updates does not apply to me (SN: XXXXXXXXXXXX).

Will there be one for the Asia-pacific region, or my phone at all (see above serial number)?
If so when ???

Yesterday I got this reply:

Thank you for contacting HTC Europe.

Even though stated on the website, there will not be any upgrades for HTC Touch to Windows Mobile 6.1. Due to an error on the website, it gives the illusion that there are upgrades available for download (of Windows Mobile 6.1), this is indeed false. HTC will offer upgrades to WM6.1 for the following models:
HTC Touch Cruise, HTC S730 and HTC Tytn II.

Just thought some of you might like to know. My apologies if this has already been brought up.

If anyone has any other information in regards to an "official" upgrade available for a newbie with no experience at to in flashing rom's, it would be most appriciated..

Hi and welcome to XDA! You'll see that this site is full of ressources.

You own a HTC Touch Elfin. This is the section for the HTC Touch Vogue. They look very similar but are in fact quite different.

The Elf has a sim card in it (GSM service). The Vogue dosn't need any (CDMA)...

I Think HTC Europe only has the GSM versions and there aren't any 6.1 versions for those as far as i know... Any way, you should search and read the Elf section here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&daysprune=-1&f=372

Good luck !
