WM 6.5 for Treo Pro for the rest of us...

[needdaphone]

I have had the SERO plan (free data) from Sprint for over 2 years, which I like, and a Treo 700wx, which I don't like. I am leaning toward getting the Treo Pro, but I need to know that I will be able to upgrade to WM 6.5, or otherwise I've had enough of the unfriendly, slow and buggy WM on my old phone.

Will I be able to install WM 6.5, if I get the Treo Pro? I don't care if it's official or not, as long as it works fine, and doesn't give me any more grief.

If this is possible, can someone please write out detailed instructions about how to get WM 6.5 onto the phone, assuming that they are dealing with a total idiot, as far as WM phones go?

You can't install 6.5 at the moment.

It's anyone's guess as to whether there will be an official upgrade. Palm appears to have forgotten about the Treo Pro, so it seems unlikely (although some say they've heard rumblings that Palm has been testing it).

An unofficial custom rom looks like it might be on the horizon. There's been a lot of work put into it over the past few months. I'd say this is more likely than an official update, although it's still not 100% guaranteed.

Do you think, there will be NO Treo Pro WM6.5 upgrade?

I hope, they will at least support us with this upgrade unless they have stopped working with windows mobile...

At least not an official one. There is now a custom ROM with WM 6.5 and 6.5.1 out there, so it is possible to get it to your TP... if it's CDMA. GSM is a no go still.

Cheers!
