Guys im sure this has been discussed before but couldnt find anything
any news on wm7 beng released anytime soon?
Not until 2010!
Regards,
Carty..
i did an article over this a little while back, windows mobile 6.5 is due out in a little while, but wm7 is a long way off
well I all I know is that all WM Phone that has been made in the past 6 months should get a FREE upgrade to WM7. I say this because WM7 Should have came out by now but like always MS likes to push dates back and the phones was made for WM7.
and if we dont then I'm saying BYE to WM and HI to iPhone.
thats what i thought - last i checked it was out soon, but that was a while ago - oh well lets see what 6.5 has to offer
2010!! peh! better be good 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

Has anyone heard something about Windows Mobile 6.5? I heard that Microsoft offered testing versions to phone manufacturers and in January 2009 there could be new devices with WM6.5 on the market. It would be interesting to hear that it will work on our Wizards because i heard that it has a lot of improvements like it will be more finger friendly...
OH SWEET THAT WOULD BE GREAT COS IM KINDA BOARD WITH THE CURRENT ROMS THATS OUT THR -----CANT WAIT

X1 is HTC product too
No. X1 is already out, so it must not be WM6.5

As several viewers pointed out on www.engadget.com - "Some of the icons are a little suspicious -- that "Today" icon is OS X's Home icon, for example. We're hoping this is the real deal and not just a user-made skin, but we wouldn't start making any long term plans here."
Well hey -- it looks like Windows Mobile 6.5 will arrive a little earlier than expected. A post on the WinMo team blog says that the update to Redmond's smartphone platform will officially launch on May 11, the first day of the Tech Ed conference. We're figuring that could mean we'll see the gold build demoed for the very first time, seeing how the version showed off at the glamorous MWC launch was described as an "alpha" cut. Of course, after that it's all up to the carriers and handset manufacturers as to when we'll actually see the OS loaded onto devices, but we're sure the hacking community will find a way to satiate the impatient until then -- or until Windows Mobile 7 comes out.

Finally!! I'm looking forward for the final version.
Have you seen the themes?? They looks pretty cool!
http://www.istartedsomething.com/20090418/windows-mobile-65-personalization-themes-titanium-plugins/
Good News! Wonder what will be the first new device with it pre loaded?
Somebody knows the build number of the final?
Great!
Hope ms impress us with something....
Great! The Topaz and Rhodium will get free updates, wonder if HTC will release them for other phones?
Hi guys
I'm a newbie here and I'd like to get some suggestions from you.
I don't know if I should get a Diamond 2(Topaz).You know that WM7 is very soon which won't work on D2 becoz of the screen.Should I get a D2 now or wait for WM7 phones?Plz give me some suggestons on this
And I think Nokia E72 and Palm Pre are also nice phones,how do you think about these two?
I'd be so sorry if this thread is off-topic here and sorry for my bad english.

Welcome to forums
If you don´t want to wait till wm7 (Not before september 2010) you can go for Diamond 2, Touch Pro 2 or Toshiba TG01
Just my opinion
Good luck,
my honest opinion:
if you want something that works....get the iphone for the moment..you will look cool..and it just works...until windows mobile 7 comes with all its tegra and snapdragon goodness!
I see no reason why you should get a new HTC windows mobile phone right now,unless you have the cash to burn. Just wait for windows mobile 7. you will be much happier based on some things i have read.
I thought I'd leave you all with the ROM comparisons that I did when I was actively using my Universal. Half way through I upgraded to 128 MB, so this is reflected in some of the memory readings.
These are my own personal findings - I tested programs on the ROMs that I was interested in. Perhaps I'm opening a can of worms here, but I hope you find it useful.
Thanks Jonny!
Great information, will add to the FAQ
How do you feel with your new Rhodium?
My new rhodium is great - I'm not looking back! (Oops, perhaps I shouldn't have posted that here!). I know it doesn't run WP7, but there is certainly life in it yet (and I have a lot of bought programs which run on WM6.5 only, so I'm quite happy).
I enjoyed too my Rhodium!
And moved to Leo was a big shock for me coming from a real keyboard line devices...
I expect to go back to keyboard devices soon as I find a similar spec HTC device
Jonny could You paste this file with .xls extention? I don't have Office 2007 and i cannot get into it
Thx in advance

Ok, updated first post to include excel 2003 version Rom Compare3.xls
very useful information!thanks
Great
OMG...
You HAVE used your Uni buddy!
And I thought I was a serious user...still using though...nobody in my town knows what a 128 MB Uni means to me...will just keep it till I grow old.
I'm waiting for a really good WP7 piece...checked one HD7...but the software glithces.. or shortcomings are too many....let's see.
Hey kalya! nice to see you around
Perhaps would be wise to wait for Touch Pro 7

Great job!! Obrigado!
what next?
I don't know Orb...which would be my WP7 handset.
As always , win mo are dull,very down to earth,mature looking gadgets...they will never be fun and I accept that....
Just waiting for a great hardware & the new OS's perfect synchronisation.
Uni was it...we got maximum from it...but my country's mobile network never caught up with the handset.
Just waiting for it...hoping...HTC would almost deliver and I know XDA members will make it perfect.
Yes it´s true...
I have played with WP7 on my Leo and decided to go back to WM/Android as it´s to damn closed platform it seems like apple...
If WM is really dying which I doubt I think I go to Android instead...
Please let me know what you finally decide to upgrade
Cheers,
Maybe Galaxy Tab if nothing good comes out in the near future.
We win mo users don't want a new OS or high config devices as much we need really new --FRESH-- apps,but maybe the new apps reqire both the things..OS+new hardware.
Otherwise I stll have some of the handsets in my sig(and some nokia ones also)
