i think they're just lying and don't know what they're talking about... if they were to release a new rom other than the current one why would they post this rom to start with!!?!! or maybe they just stole qtek's rom and post it as their own.!!! this is getting really annoying.
this will be my last ppc based phone...
You're a bit suspicious but you're right, it's strange...
How could they ever stole Qtek's ROM? The cab files in imate's rom are tottaly different versions! Just think that behind the basic ROM is HTC and not Qtek or Imate! And as for the pocketpc based phones could you give me a better option that can provide me with all that software that exists for the Microsoft platform and works without any problems and most of all is tottaly compatible with outlook and M$ office? I would be glad to buy such a device! :twisted:
At least lets just wait and give them a chance to prove theirselfs wrong first and then shoot them on the head! :lol: They said they will release it tommorow, personally I will give them a couple of days more and then see what happens! On the past imate used to support their devices with the best and fastest ROMs, so just give them a chance! Even with their 1.06 ROM I am happy with my MDA Compact! It works almost like a dream and the only problem is the BT no device problem and that is far more stable than Qtek's ROM :wink:
I just learned from a Qtek representative that Qtek is actually HTC's own brand. So buying a Qtek device would be like buying a device with a Sony Ericsson or Nokia brand instead of an operator brand like O2 or Vodafone.
katsj,
you are right, but the problem is, i have tried almost all brands and i have never had a problem with the quality of the call... with this jam when someone calls i can hardly understand what they are saying!! i mean this is the first phone that made me lose friends because i can't hear them good... i have tried the 1.5 radio it fixed some problems but now the sound of the earpiece is very low resulting in losing the rest of my friends -lol- and there are other problems with the phone such as the cam but if they fix the sound that is the most important.....
btw sonyericsson makes the best phones I’m waiting for their next Pxxx series
The day after tomorrow is here...and no ROM update out from I-mate... :roll:
Regards,
Primoz
hee hee. The day after tomorrow is still two days away guys!

On the sound issue I am with you! And hear what happened to me! I used to have my MDA Compact (German) flashed with imate's 1.03 ROM the sound on the internal speaker was good when I was talking to someone on the phone! Then I flashed Radio 1.05 and 1.06 from Qtek that made my internal speaker not working while its sound was low and was coming and go all the time, simply it was unusable! The good thing for me is that 99,9% of my calls I answer them by my BT handsfree so it was no problem for me! The funny thing is that when I flashed my MDA Compact with imate's ROM the sound come back again on the speaker and its great since then! I really don't know what really happened but HTC should do something soon for this issue since IT IS the most annoying problem on JAM. As for Sony Ericsson they definately have the best sound quality on their phones! But they dont have a Microsoft operating system! I was a fanatic PXXX user but when I first used a Toshiba e800 and then a Qtek2020 I really can't go back to SE! I only wish SE will make a Microsoft based smartphone and I am sure the competition will go home that same day!
There was removed the WWE version of ROM 1.06 from the I-mate club site...they says it will be available tomorrow...it could be possible they are making some patches...or am I just wondering... :roll:

katsj,
i read an article a while ago, that microsoft are to talk to nokia about a future collaboration bwtween them and sonyericsson with nokia ... so the dream might come true
here is a quote
"Nokia has announced partnership with Microsoft in a field of mobile music: a possibility of synchronization with Windows Media Player 10, support for digital rights control and online download of compositions.
Sony Ericsson has announced a similar partnership with Nokia. Collaborating with Sony Group the company will release musical mobile phones under a well-known Walkman brand. Let's remind Motorola concluded a treaty with Apple as long as in summer. "
Papadocta,
I will never buy a Nokia in my life! Their service here in Greece is the most awful service worldwide! And after Nokia 6310 they never managed to make a reliable phone after that model! More than that my brother in law has the local Sonyericsson service point and from what I hear from him neither Nokia nor Sonyericsson are planning to release a Microsoft operating system based phone! Especially Nokia who is the basic share holder of symbian would be like suiciding by releasing a M$ phone! They only plan to make some software parts compatible with Microsoft as the music playing you mentioned above. Maybe MAYBE Sonyericsson would do something but that seems to be far far away at the moment! I hope MDA IV will be a good device and that HTC will show its maturity after being in the market for a long time now by that model! So my expectations for MDA IV are very high! Lets see if HTC will meet those expectations this time! If they only manage to get the 2005 version of Windows mobile in MDA IV!!!!!!! :roll:

Please check the info from pocketpcthoughts.com ( http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=431833&sid=8677d091b08c0302e3ced2b69c56c152),
".................I asked Jason Gordon, Senior Manager of Communications for HTC America, for an official response to this, and he sent me this:
"HTC and its carrier partners will have Windows Mobile 6 upgrades available for a variety of recently released devices. We will continue to work with these partners to provide additional upgrades based on market need."
No further details, but it seems obvious that HTC will have some upgrades to Windows Mobile 6 coming out. Good news for all of us! "
Will our loved prophet be included in their upgrade list? Any more infomation?
What do you guys think?
dont think imate will release one, they kind of stop supporting htc product.
maybe only dopod and HTC brand will have a little chance to uprade to wm6. let's pray.

Since HTC has let us know that it will not roll out WM6.0 ROM's for currently devices running 5.0. I think HTC doens't agree with "Let's pray" but wants to hear you say: "Let's pay..".
I have heard that the Treo 750 is going to get an upgrade to WM6.0. But this is a Palm device, and not a device comming from HTC.
ok
So let's keep on make the wm6 roms dat we have more stable and secure...
He said it all!
"HTC and its carrier partners will have Windows Mobile 6 upgrades available for a variety of recently released devices"
The Prophet has been discontinued already!!!
By new I guess he meant devices that came out on the last couple of months or so...
yes, even if it doesnt come out specifically for the s200, there are other ti omap 200mhz devices out there like the s200 that have just come out. correct me if im not mistaken, but it would then be easier to dump a custom rom for the prophet then?
A guy from UK who claims to be official "Orange phone trainer" (Orange is a mobile operator in UK) claims that Orange Academy both Microsoft trainer and Orange employees were claiming that ROM upgrade for Orange SPV M500 Pocket PC phone (also for C550 smartphone) is coming.
If this would happen, then also users of other HTC Magician phones (like i-mate JAM, T-Mobile MDA Compact, Vodafone VPA Compact, Qtek S100, etc):
... would also be able to upgrade to Windows Mobile 5.0!
as posted under the smartphone main section, I was at the Orange Academy today. Good news to come from the event is that Microsoft and Orange are currently busy preparing a WM5 upgrade for both the C550 and the M500!
We were obviously told not to tell the general public, as they want us to push the C600 and the M5000, but for existing owners, this is fantastic news
I own an M500 and he was blatantly waving one around in front of my eyes saying "Both these devices will have WM5 on them in the coming months..."
So god knows.. he did seem to know what he was talking about tho, being a MS Trainer and all.
Hersh...
thats great news, and no rumors like that ever appeared in these foruns... now I will finally be able to choose between WM5 and my pre-installed vista OS with a ps3 emu on my s110!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Im not saying it is or not possible just F***ING STOP POSTING ABOUT IT, RELEASE IT OR SAY NOTHING!
Even fakes are more welcome than those crappy posts "it is possible, one day it will work", "i think i have, oh wait, nop. i really dont understand english (wait, how did i manage to register here?)", "they relased it for my ipod, why not for magician?", "we can do it, if we just talk about it ONE MORE TIME!!!!!!"
When it comes out, if ever, IT WILL BE ATTACHED TO THE POST!
In the meantime, if you really want WM5 or 6 or 7, go buy an expensive phone with half the mhz and more RAM that WM5 doesnt let you use, just because it has that damm gps you really have much use for and its not to show-off all your friends.
Rumour!!!!!!!!!
I believe this rumour came out about a year ago from another forum, and still nothing. i will see it when i believe it.
Don't think it's going to happen. The only way that this device will get WM5 is if someone cooks a successful rom.
Unfortunately, it's just another rumour ... read original post here:

im pretty sure that this is an MDA Compact II or the HTC Charmer and not a magician, because i find it illogical that a telco will still produce a rom upgrade for a very old device which no retailer is selling anymore, and while i still entertain the thought that it may be an unofficial WM5 Rom, still, i would doubt it. Such a rom would have been posted already here.
rumour rumour rumour.....its all fake people !
What a pity!
All the best and beautiful new programs are coming out only for WM5 amd WM6!
It is better to hear no information instead of misinformation. There will never be WM5 on magician .
Come on now, I have been reading WM5 posts for Magician from a year. Fed up now. Magician is a very old device. Dont think there will be a WM5 for it. Even WM6 is released long back. So if Magician had to have a WM5, it would have come out long back.
Why dont you guys try to load Google's Android on Magician. Would be much better

Hi Guys,
When is 6.5 getting released? Did Microsoft announce any deadline? Heard it is gonna have Zune software packaged with it; true?
Regards,
Speedin_Driver.
MS presented on WMC 2009, that in 2nd half of 2009 it will be distributed among manufacturers. First WM 6.5 should be on market in beginning of Q4 (october). But, it might be delayed.
we have 6.5 ROMS for other phones (Pocket PCs).. when will smartphones get it?
Once the standard version leaks somewhere! If you find it somewhere, just post it, I'll try to port it!
BTW: I'll upload a multi-language 6.1 Neo ROM soon!
when the upgrade to wm 6.5 be available officially
Isn't it next month sometime? Although I must admit I'm not too excited about the prospect - 6.1 does a great job for me and I haven't read anything to sell 6.5 ... open to offers on that one tho
Peace

if im not mistaken, it was said that they would ship out mobilephones with 6.5 in time for christmas, so maybe a little sooner ( a month or maybe more) for a plain upgradre/update?
Does anyone know whether I will have to reinstall all my software when I upgrade to WM 6.5 or would I be able to keep everything intact and just upgrade the OS?

Upgrade to 6.5 will be same as flashing a new ROM.
All gone, your device is again like a virgin, just as it was when you bought it.
I heard should be in Dec 2009, maybe early Dec.
My Response from HTC
2009/08/03 15:47 Tshepo (Africa Support (Product Info))
Good Day A***
Thank you for contacting HTC.
In regards with Windows Mobile 6.5 it will only be avaliable in October World Wide . Is not advisable to download the XDA Rom because you will lose the warranty of the device .
Kind regards
HTC Support
Nice one, thanks for posting this.
oh man... can't wait till the release it

YIp
Yea I did ask them that as well...
It should be free at least in my Country....
Strange it even mentioned 6.5 upgrade on the box!!
I have asked HTC (I come from Hong Kong)
they mentioned that wm6.5 will be released in late october
did you ask HTC about the release of wm6.5 specifically for the Topaz or wm6.5 in general??
