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"

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 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
I'm sorry to bother, but i can't find any other forum with this kind of topics.

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

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.

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

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)

Android software for HTC touch

I have an HTC touch one of the originals. 128MB ram. This phone is from alltel before they were bought. Anyways I have a few questions. First is, is there an android software to replace the windows mobile software? If not, is there something I can or some sort of OS to replace the windows mobile? Third, is there anyway that I can download windows mobile software if the new software is not to my liking? I know I am asking alot, but i am new to "cracking" a phone if you will and I am trying to learn. I am trying to rid my life of windows as much as possible. Any help is much appreciated. I thank anyone that can and is willing to help.

Welcome aboard,
I don´t think it´s possible to install Android, but you can upgrade your WM version to the newest 6.5 or 6.5.1 and install many apps.

Also you can visit marketplace section and perhaps do a trade for an Android device.
Good luck,
