I personally want to try Live Communications server, as well as Exchange 07 on it. My company is also testing CRM Mobile on the device, but I think that may support WM5 as well. ]]>Oct 31st 2007 9:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/drop-that-tilt-htc-releases-wm6-upgrade-for-atandt-8525/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/drop-that-tilt-htc-releases-wm6-upgrade-for-atandt-8525/

Information, and a direct link to the WM6 ROM can be found at xda-developers:

Note that right now, the HTC page just has the WM5 ROM for download. The WM6 ROM is called "RUU_Hermes_CINGULAR_WWE_3.62.502.3_6275_1.54.07.00_108_UOOS_SVN05_Ship".

WM6 works great and no issues yet. Gotta love free upgrades.]]>Oct 31st 2007 6:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/drop-that-tilt-htc-releases-wm6-upgrade-for-atandt-8525/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/drop-that-tilt-htc-releases-wm6-upgrade-for-atandt-8525/
Entered device id during setup...20 seconds later unit comes back to life.

The pregnant pauses are terrible and just as bad as WM5...and this was BEFORE I loaded my apps on.

This is NOT WM6....more like WM5.00001. I was hoping for a lot more (touch scrolling, etc.). But we'll have to buy a new device for this...luv' that capitalism.

WM dev't really appears to have stalled...kinda like with Vista...nothing there to care about.

Ballmer's? recent quote about "there's nothing WM developers cannot do" when talking about rising popularity of gPhone and iPhone is garbage. You can't take a picture or video from code...no APIs. The user must manually press button to start video/picture...so much for advanced applications.

OpenMoko/gPhone...here I come.]]>Oct 31st 2007 11:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/drop-that-tilt-htc-releases-wm6-upgrade-for-atandt-8525/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/drop-that-tilt-htc-releases-wm6-upgrade-for-atandt-8525/Nov 1st 2007 11:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/drop-that-tilt-htc-releases-wm6-upgrade-for-atandt-8525/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/drop-that-tilt-htc-releases-wm6-upgrade-for-atandt-8525/

Specifically the post from gslater. I ran across the same thing, and this fixed it. I'm now running WM6. So far I really haven't seen anything worth the upgrade, the feel is a little different... There's no Live Messenger.]]>Nov 3rd 2007 3:54PM
