Palm is announcing upgrades to Treo 750 to get upgrades to Windows Mobile 6
At 3GSM in Barcelona, Spain, Microsoft announced Windows Mobile 6, the newest version of their mobile phone software platform. As a strong Microsoft partner, Palm plans to offer Treo smartphones with Windows Mobile 6 later this year.
"Our continued collaboration with Microsoft gives our customers a powerful combination�Palm's hallmark ease of use with the power and security of Windows Mobile favored by many businesses. We look forward to integrating Microsoft's new operating system as we continue to help people around the world stay connected with Palm's unequaled mobile-computing experience." said Stephane Maes, Senior Director, Smartphones, at Palm.
... as you can read here.
It is unclear however which Treo 750 is meant - the one from Cingular in USA or the one from Vodafone in Europe? In any case the HSDPA upgrade for Treo 750v (the one from Vodafone) still is not available so maybe it will be included in the Windows Mobile 6 upgrade? For now it is unclear when this Windows Mobile 6 upgrade will be available but by this announcement Palm sends clear signal "you can buy 750 safely without being worried that it runs outdated operating system because upgrade is coming". Very good decision of Palm! ... (also Windows Mobile 6 upgrade to T-Mobile Dash has been announced) and now it is yet to be seen which other Windows Mobile manufacturers will follow with which handsets...

This is amazing news! I applaud Palm for this, it is a great move by them as they are getting reading to release the Treo 750 sim-free around the rworld and extend it to more carriers around the worlds also and they wouldn't be selling many without this upgrade. Can't wait for Q2 2007!!!
I m think of unlock my 750v ,but meaby is beter to wait for 6.0,couse I have Hermes already,so I can wait (if not to long) . When does it shows up (wm 6.0) ?
Is there a way ? or it is a hardware thing ?
Thanks
Use the SetHSDPA.exe application from the hermes...
They are both produced by HTC. The hardware is 3.5G capable just not enabled in the Vodafone ROMs,
Is there any updated ROM I can use ? I found this machine useability is more than my hermes inspite of non wifi and square screen...PALM tweaks it so good!!
If you can getthe shipping ROM for the open market 750 then that has 3.5G enabled.
Not sure where you can download it...
If not simply use the SetHSDPA.exe method - very easy!
when I bought the 750V (in around Sept 06), the Vodafone shop told me the HSDPA ROM will be ready in Mar 07... It seems no news and roadmap about that yet.
Can I sue them for cheating customers??????

I heard a rumour from a Vodafone source that Vodafone delayed the 750v update because they want to offer a WM6 update.
At the same time, a 750v successor is in the pipeline.
Personally, I think that we should expect a 750v successor any time soon, maybe late spring/early summer.

I kept on asking HongKong vodafone these days
They just said not yet released and they will not help me to upgrade to ver. 1.16 either because new update will be released soon.
I just (again) called t-mobile germany about windows mobile 6 devices. And this is what I got as the answer:"We are not offering any deviced with Windows Mobile 6 installed nor do we offer any Windows Mobile 6 upgrades for existing devices. We also do not plan to release devices with Windows Mobile 6 or Windows Mobile 6 upgrades for existing devices in the future."
wtf ?
"Existing devices" - that's not to say that there will not be new devices with WM 6
don't fret
This is untrue

its untrue for US tmobile but maybe not Germany tmobile
Does anybody know which device this phone is?
http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/04/eyes-on-with-t-mobiles-mda-compact-iv/
Most likely its an HTC, but it looks like the polaris but its even better.
Why would they release two similar phones so soon after each other?
T-Mobile Shadow. Cheers!
It could be HTC Pharos I think....
but 4 GB storage? Hm....
actually it is the htc touch diamond but it's the germany tmobile version known as the MDA compact 4. T-mobile and HTC are now working together to make great mda's. And if you don't know htc was making the diamond but with a full qwerty keyboard and they were going to call it the raphael but t-mobile is going to call it the Vario 4. The Compact 4 is coming out in "Germany" Next month(July) for a not yet determined price and the vario 4 will be released in autumn for Germany. Well i hope this helps and i hope Europe releases those phones to US soon or i'll be very upset. lol

That's a "Victor" rather than a "Diamond". Same device, just different casing design!
I checked T-Mobile UK customer services and they say that T-Mobile UK is expecting MDA compact 4 in July 2008! So we may get this device in UK soon!

Awesome! Now all we need is the MDA Vario 4!
I went into a T-Mobile shop to ask about any release date and the sales staff just looked at me blankly and shrugged their shoulders!!

I hope they sort out the aledged 'laggy' response on the screen graphics of the HTC Diamond I have read about in some reviews...my advice is a 'hands on' test of a real retail version of the device in the store before handing over your cash
the compact 4 is being relesed in uk sometime before september (my tmob contracts due for upgrade then so i got the details of new phones outta their upgrades team earlier this week. - and it IS a diamond with tmob badges

Diamonds (HTC Touch Diamond that is... not the compact 4) are available in the UK as of now, i dont get why it takes tmobile so long to simply rebadge the diamond (its quite minimal from what ive seen).
I am on a tmobile contract with my HTC TyTN, but i plan on using the upgrade for a handset for the Mrs, i like the look of the Raphael anyway (HTC Touch Pro..........Vario IV).

I think the Compact IV is a Victor (no Diamond effect stuff) rather than a Diamond (P3702 rather than P3700).
I guess operators want to try and get the most money from the current devices before making money from the new ones...
The T-Mo phones do have a redecorated TF3D though...
This is MDA compact 4
Found a torrent for the AT&T/Cingular win mobile v. 6.0; this is called a leaked rom on the site. I just bought a treo 750 on ebay and haven't received it yet but I wondered if the win mobile v. 6 for AT&T will work on any unlocked Treo 750?
If so, is it best to use this version for an update of the os, or to use one of the more recent ones on this site - perhaps v. 6.1 or 6.5? Being a complete newby for a windows mobile smartphone, I really am not sure about how to upgrade the os.
