I hope so!, I see the standard version of WM6.1 for Smartphone and the interface improvements are amazing! in other hand the profesional version we had seen until now has only cosmetic improvements in its interface.
Here's the video of the WM6.1 standard

when will this become available for official upgrade?

Officialy out but not available!!!! "Yet"

Inquiry About Windows Mobile 6.1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I sent HTC an e-mail inquiring about the ROM release of Windows Mobile 6.1 for the AT&T Tilt and this was there response.

Hello Matthew,
Thank you for your inquiry
We know it is very important to have all the information on our devices. We will do our best to assist you with this information right away. HTC has no official documentation or details about the use or release of Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1. As you may be aware, all updates for our devices can be located at their respective regional web sites. If any future updates will be available for the AT&T Tilt , you will undoubtedly find it on our support web pages listed below:

I hope we have answered your question in detail. Feel free to contact us again if you have any further questions.

Also the e-mail I sent to AT&T asking the same question, was told that the manufacturer (HTC) would be providing a ROM update if there was one... So apparently it's still a mystery!

Windows Mobile 6.1 HERE

AND HERE
http://msmobiles.com/news.php/6942.html
where to download for uni?
its standart version for smartphones
The pictures are for the Standard (ie Smartphone) version
Microsoft's Windows Mobile website (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/6/default.mspx) is still harking on about WM6 - so its not likely to be coming any time soon as a Professional (ie PDA) version (if it is coming at all - http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/...-version-of-windows-mobile-behind-closed-doo/)
We'll all just have to wait for a release from Redmond
Googled it up, references say Microsoft plans on shipping 6.1 in february 2008 and all devices coming after march 2008 will be shipped with 6.1! Had a look at the UI thumbnails, not OUTRAGEOUSLY impressed!!
Guys pls look at the signature of mamaich..u will get the hint..

WM 6.1 Cunfusion

Can someone clarify the following please:
I just noticed some RSS feeds where MS has JUST announced the release of WM 6.1?? How is it we have this forum has had it for months now?
Also- this is my main question - in looking around the web at various video's of WM6.1 there is a new front end that looks pretty nice - how come I never see this on this forum?
Thanks!
same thing as how do people get music CDs before they come out...they get leaked out. and all these roms aren't official. there will probably never be an official copy for kaiser.
and that video is probably for smartphones. Our phones are PPC which contains professional version (touchscreen).

Q1: That's simple. The ROMs you see here are non-official/leaked.
Q2: There's are not so much changes in WM6.1 Professional, but WM6.1 Classic has a new interface/Today Screen.
That's what they show in a lot of videos.

No because Microsoft released wm 6 and 6.1 as a free upgrade. It is the job of your phone provider to port it to their hardware. But the people here cook up custom ROM. So they are just taking the place of the providers doing it.

Presumably though, the providers have signed an agreement to allow them to do this?
I'm just speculating and don't get me wrong, I'd hate to not be able to get hold of cooked roms but the legalities of it all is something thats been on my mind for a while now.
Kind of off topic, but you misspelled "confusion"

Windows Mobile on non-listed phone(on the forum)

I was wondering, which edition of Windows Mobile could i use for this phone:TV966
I know, you will probably say this phone doesn't support Windows Mobile, but i contacted the supplier and he told me that the phone itself isn't loaded with Windows Mobile, but it can and does support it. Which version could i use for this phone?
I hope this is the right forum for the question. Thanks in advance!
Since this phone has a touch screen WM pro will be the version to use.
On how to put it on this phone, the easy way would be... Who am i kidding, there is no easy way to put WM on this, unless you port WM from scratch to this
So it isn't possible to load this phone with WM?
As this is an HTC ONLY FORUM I don´t believe you´ll find too much info for your device
Anyway good luck,
Is there a possibility to upgrade this phone when 6.5 comes?
E-TEN Glofiish V900

Is it Possible - Yes, provided Eten release a WM 6.5 Rom Upgrade or Some Enterprising Soul makes a WM 6.5 Rom
have a look here http://eten-users.eu/index.php?act=idx

official windows mobile 6.5

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

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

Yes. At least for the unbranded HTC version.
A request to the german HTC revealed there's still no info on that topic. Any other news then?
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??
TF3D version
Which version of Manila will it build in?2.1?2.5?2.6?or others?
(Sorry for my bad English)

Should I got HTC Windows Mobile or Android?

I am waiting for the Sony Xperia X10 to come out, but was wondering, what is the best Windows Mobile device coming out that will be able to run windows mobile 7?
I was waiting for the HTC HD2 , but understand it is not able to use 3g on At&t's network.
I like the Sony and not sure what the pro's of having windows mobile would be. Looking for a upcoming windows mobile device to contend with the Xperia.
Welcome to forums
Wll I would choose an HTC device because the great support of this site.
As for the new models, have a look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=595648
I´m not sure about which one will be able to run WM7
I would stay with WM as Android is to young and unmature OS for now, I´m sure in the near future will be great.
Just my opinion
Good luck,
That being said, what is going to be the best WM device say through Feb 2010?
