Upgrading from the Wizard

Hi
I know it's a REALLY general question...
But I am in the market for a new WM phone. Have been happily using the Wizard, recently upgraded to WM6, for the last year and a half. It seems a little bulky by today's standards.
I was considering a smartphone with no touchscreen but with a qwerty keyboard. Or maybe something like the new Ipaq 514. Ideally it would have WM6, or the ability to flash to a stable ROM of WM6.
I was wondering if someone could make some general comments on moving away from touchscreen, including any specific praise or criticism of particular models?
Or perhaps there is a PDA phone out there with touchscreen, Wifi, WM6, and dedicated keyboard that is much smaller and sexier than the Wizard?
Any general comments would be appreciated.
Thanks!

That would be the HTC S710 then. http://www.europe.htc.com/products/htcs710.html

rom question

Hello everybody !
I have a touch cruise from sweden with swedish language WM6 , I am tempted to uppdate the rom to make the phone fast or more responsive .
Is there a specific rom for swedish phones ? do I loose the swedish language with rom update ?
Is there a big difference between VM6 and WM6.1 ?
Thanks in advance / dilo

Good question! I'm also waiting for an official romupdate for minority languages like swedish to 6.1.
Hope it will come soon.

Ok , so there is nothing for the moment :-( .Why no update for the cruise like for the kaiser ?? as I understund it , its allmost the same phones -
Regards / Dilo

There is no another swedish rom out there beside the wm6.0, if you flash another rom you offcourse lost the swedish language. I have used the swedish rom too and when i made registry tweaks it become more responsive.
I have wonder the same about rom updates for cruise, Kaiser gets updates but not cruise. Its f.ing anoying to sign in to Htc e-club when they welcome you with txt "You can start enjoying the benefits of being an HTC e-Club member"
had cruse for 6month now and and no benefits yet, had Trinity for allmost two years no benefits. Hope they come with the 6.1 update soon

Agree with you. Have been onboard the Cruise for 6 month and very little attention from HTC to the minority rom like the swedish which I have too. We need to put some pressure on them. It should be quite a number of Cruises sold in Sweden by now and poor support.

Hi !
I got my cruise for around 3/4 month now and I had two hard reset allready , thats not good .
My freind has an iphone and never got any problems .
What to do ? I know one thing , this is my first and last Htc product .
Best regards / dilo

6.1 Touch Cruise Update (Australian)

I won a new touch cruise but am told it was originally from Australia and it still has WM 6.0 on it. I would really love to upgrade to a 6.1 ROM with some nice touchscreen menus, etc but cannto find one that works on either the HTC site or AT&T site. (I am in the US). Can anyone direct me?
Thanks,
Chris

hi pal, doesnt matter wheres came from that phone, u can upgrade it to 6.1 rom , there are a lot roms updates in this forum that u can access for free and they have nice screen configurations than original... just look around and read a bit more..

u/g to 6.1 ain't gonna give you new touchscreen menus

cheapest qwerty GSM that can be flashed to 6.1?

Heyyyy guys...
So I made the evil switch to iphone but I still miss having qwerty keyboard and wm to play around with... I was going to find a cheapo qwerty wm phone off ebay and just switch between it every now and then to calm the cravings...
from the looks of it, 6.1 standard is pretty cool compared to what I was used to using pro... I would really like to find a cheap qwerty phone that can be flashed up to 6.1... anyone know which models I should be looking at?
Thanks!

hello
WM standart - Motorola Q9H, samsung jack
WM prof. - Samsung I780, HP ipaq 914,
all devices have wm 6.1 Q9h havent got WIFI but have the best keyboard
chears

tmobile dash!!! or MDA Mail (Same phone mda mail is the uk version with no wifi.)
these are best becasue they have a good amount of custom roms =]

I'm using Moto Q9h
Try Motorola Q9h Global.
QWERTY smartphone with GPS capabled.

If you decide the q9h make sure you get the black one. The letters on the keys are very hard to see on the silver one due to the weak blue backlighting. Q9h is a good phone but IMHO the excalibur is a way better phone to flash to 6.1, also there is alot more support for it. The Q was too big and wide and does not work too well unlocked on a network it was not built for.

Upgrade to 6.5

Hi,
I'm a little confused I have a German HTC Touch Pro and I asked HTC-support if it is possible to upgrade my WM 6.1 to 6.5 They denied it.
Is it possible?
Thanks for any comments

If You mean original WM6.5 OS, for Raphael, then it isn't possible right now, but...if You use cooked ROM (non-official) then it's possible, HTC support wouldn't recommend You this.

almost all the cooked roms are WM 6.5, the official one won't work but the cooked versions are better anyway imo......

Who wants official rom? only if my tp is broken& i need guarantee ;-)
