OFFICIAL WM6 Coming to SPV M3100

[Crash Override]

Having spoken to HTC Europe they have confirmed a new firmware release for the Orange SPV M3100 due in april / may, this release will be WM6 / Crossbow (I asked specifically)

Unsure as to whether there are any extras / enhancements planned so far but it should be interesting.

(Orange were unable to let me know of any planned firmware releases and gave me the number for HTC as - to quote orange - "They build the devices and build the firmware upgrades for us, we have no information on the systems at present but they would be able to help you further")

Would be nice however experience would suggest that hope rather than expectation is the better bet......

I would assume that WM6 uses more processor and memory than WM5 (to stick with Microsoft tradition ) so if so how does it fair in that respect?

It's pretty pointless for me to upgrade to WM6 (even if it was possible) to find the device too slow for use.

At the moment it's surviving, but there are still a few small outstanding issues, but I think there always will be with software like this.....

I have stepped up from the stock M3100 orange uk rom to xda live2.0 and now to WM Black 1.2. I seem to have an odd issue on soft resetting which is documented in the relevent thread. I suspect it is to do with some of the software I am running. General responsiveness of WM6 is in my opinion much better than I had with the original set up. I would not go back - it is much more like what I expected it would be when I ordered the phone.

it wouldnt hurt to try wm6, and once u do u will be amazed how it outperforms wm5 in many aspects. the first thing u notice is how fast your ppc will work
