Am I the only one who noticed that the Touch Cruise wasn't listed in the official Windows Mobile 6.1 press release?
E.
Since they will update the Kaiser (TyTN II), they will most likely update the Touch Cruise aswell, since the differences in the phones arent that big.
Maybe (in the article) the Touch Cruise was put under "Touch by HTC" or maybe they forgot to add it or (and let's hope not) there won't be an update for the TC.

You know your phone's a ripoff when you see the dopod logo on the upper left hand side. That said, I know COOL makes winDOS smart devices. They also had this CFII/SD hybrid unit in the Wm2003 era...
Note that while it may say winDOS Mobile Smartphone with touchscreen, once you put a touchscreen into WMS it becomes WM PocketPC edition. No buts about it. <_<
hey guys (and girls where aplicable),
i got a question (a sorta dumb one). If a smartphone lik the iPAQ 514 Voice Messenger or the HTC Vox have windows mobile 6 standard does that mean they run regular windows mobile programs or smartphone versions? See the Cheeta/treo 750 has windows mobile standard ed. and is called a smartphone but it uses regular PPC programs, the other two mentioned before have the same wm6 but no touch screen. so i was wondering if that made a diference in the phones capabilities to use PPC Progs? I appreciate any answers as i am greatly puzzled and intregued buy this.
With WM6 they dispensed with the term "smartphone" in favour of WM 6 Standard. Too many non Windows Mobile phones were being called "smart phones" as well as PPC phones.
WM Standard has no support for touch screens and many PPC apps will not run on it.
WM Pro has touchscreens.
understanding versions...
so lemmie go over this... a ppc with a touch screen is said to run WM6 pro, a ppc without a touch screen is said to run wm6 standard the "smartphone" version. so what of the vox? it has all the capabilities of a full sized PPC without the touch screen so where would it and the ipaq 514 fit in? Because correct me if i'm wrong but dont they offer features like MS Office editing and production verus the others whose ability is limited to viewing or is it the WM6 platform that actually enables this?
You're right, its just a functionality of WM6. Any smartphone (i.e. non-Touch screen device) running WM6 has those same office capabilities and will be running WM6 Standard, not Professional.
As far as I know the two WM6 are one same core of the same OS but..
In the PPC version there is more advanced setup in the menus wich setup is locked in the Srtandard by default.
For example in the Standard there is no way to change the IP of the wi-fi manually.
And in the pocket pc there is some dll's, responsible for touchscreen operation .
yes but....
i do believe you might be correct on everything but the I.P setup for standard. i have an sda running wm6 and i can manually setup my wifi and change certain settings in the network config. Also the HP ipaq 514 that i've been researching also has the same features. see my big thing is i love he compact size of the smart phone but need the capabilities of the PPC. It wold be great if i could get the best of both. i know the O2 XDA stealth has that exact combo but they are hard to find and kinda pricey for thier age.
There are separate SDKs for Standard and Pro, so I think the differences run a little deeper.
well what to do?
well i guess my final questions then wuld be what kind of phone are:-
1/ O2's xda stealth
2/ HP's Ipaq 514
Is there a way to update my touch cruise with the latest version of Windows Mobie, which was released on 1st April ?
Officially, no, not until HTC customizes WM6.1 for our devices.
Unofficially, yes, check out the Upgrades section of the Polaris forum. Many have customized it for our devices already. Just be sure to read all the directions and understand the process before doing an unofficial upgrade.
Read some threads in the, well, "Polaris Upgrading"..
Hi all. I was wondering wether this unofficial ROMs are legal or not. I mean, distributing on e-mule a customized version of Windows XP would be illegal, but with Windows Mobile it may be different. The emulator for Windows is free, for example. So?
Thank you
M$ wanted to shut down XDA-DEV... i guess this answers your question...
Ok, thank you.
By the way, I think that uncle Bill would love to shut down many other legal sites... say, for example, www.ubuntu.com, or www.apple.com...
Sure they do... but those only mess up the market, we correct their products
HTC releases WM6.1 Upgrade for Touch Cruise
After update my Touch Cruise to Windows Mobile 6.1, I have noticed that ActiveSync is always running, even after close it. I have an Outlook Exchange account configured but the sync schedule is set to manual. I’ve read some forums and some people suggested to uncheck the automatic time zone in the phone settings, but this is not working also. This don't happen with WM6, before upgrade. Someone have this problem?

ActiveSync should always be running, it is possible that it was set up not to be shown in the WM6 HTC App manager exclusion list.

There was no 6.1 upgrade released on the date quoted. Recent one floating on the first page of 'Polaris upgrading' threads. Check them and upgrade your device.
HTC has released 6.1 for the touch cruise. you can get it from there site.
Handango does not show software specific to 6.1 with a VGA screen. Anyone have a link to software I can buy for the Touch Pro?
Thanks
There is nothing specific to 6.1. Most WM5 and WM6 apps are compatible with WM6.1. The screen size is a different issue.
Hi, I was surprised today as I found this forum (never heard about WM6.5, especially for (old) HTC Wizard). I'm curious about how do you get WM6.5? I don't think M$ give WM6.5 ROM for free.
I think all WM6.5-Roms here are Beta-versions, right? If so... is there any restrictions? Or can I use WM6.5 on my device like if it's a "fullversion" (SMS, eMail, ActiveSync, Internet...)?
I don't want to start a debate about legal-rights, just as I said I'm curious about it.

Non of the wm 6.5 rom are official and there never will be an official. M$ official release of wm 6.5 will be in october. According to M$ the WM 6.5 is only a skin change of 6.1 and will be an lite version of windows mobile 7 for low end devices and WM 7 for high end. If you want WM 6.5 you can find one in the Windows 6 section under wizard but non official
Thank you.
