Today, while cleaning out the desk of some ex-colleagues we stumbled upon an old Toshiba e750. It is loaded with WinMo 2003. I know these devices are prolly almost extinct now, but i am wondering if its possible to load WinMo 6.1 on this device? Sure it wouldnt be a ROM with calling and everything but i am curious as to this devices capabilities and maybe i could use it for some lightweight work such as internet and calendar. Any Input is welcomed.

I have a HTC Wizard and I love the fact that I can extract and rebuild ROM's really easily. However since there is no native Windows Mobile 6 release for it I think it's limits have been reached with two key components - namely the integrated VoIP client and L2TP/IPSec VPN. I have had both of these working but neither with any consistency and it appears it is a lack of driver support on the Wizards side.
The 'leaked' M$ internal testing of WM6 (5.2.318) was the only 'real' version and since then WM6 has progressed quite a lot, but we are still stuck with the original drivers from this release and there are compatibility issues.... HTC isn't going to update any drivers so I think the Wizard is going to have to get replaced by something newer. I would still like the flexibility of building my own ROMs though - I remember having a HP iPAQ 6365 and there was absolutely no way this was possible with this.
What are my best options? It MUST have 802.11G WiFi, stable VoIP & L2TP/IPSec and the ability to create my own ROMs. It must also have a touchscreen (so no smartphones), pull-out keyboard, camera and I would like it to be smaller than the Wizard.
Any ideas?

I dont know if any of you have heard of the program called Due Yesterday for Palm OS, but its a program that allows you to keep track of classroom assignments and schedules. I used this program extensively untill i upgraded to a windows mobile HTC Raphael. Now im stuck without this program and i was hoping someone knew of a similar program.
Ill let the link speak for itself about the program:

don't know of such an app, but you can run palm os apps on windows mobile with this http://www.styletap.com/
I tried it a while back and it worked fine.
hope this helps
This seems like a really neat application but is there anything for free?
Or how about an actual program that i can use? thanks.
As with ISiCK, I also used Due Yesterday on my Palm(s) before getting a Raphael and am interested in an equivalent application for Windows Mobile.
In short: *bump!*
I know this is an older thread but has anyone found anything close to Due Yesterday for Windows Mobile? I have it running with styletap but I'd like to be able to sync the information with my PC.
ive searched and searched for different emulators for winmo to no avail. ive heard about rim os (blackberry) running on winmo, ive heard about palmos running on winmo, and of course weve all seen android for winmo. (which is "just ok" for me) but i wanna know where to get blackberry and palmos for my fuze!?!?
First off, this is obviously the wrong section for this question.
Secondly, I am 99% sure that there are no Blackberry OS or Palm OS emulators for Windows Mobile.
They are closed source, unlike Android, which is why that is available.
Also, they were made for different hardware, meaning they would not have the correct hardware integration, including specific drivers for the phone.
There are themes available to make your phone look like these two OSs, but no actual emulators. I don't even think any WinMo phones would be able to run another full OS over WinMo anyway.
Moved as not theme release....
Greetings All,
I am a newbie to any sort of forum and I wish to express my thanks in advance for your help.
I have been a WM (HTC Tilt WM 6.1) user for 4 years. Just recently I have been having issues with my phone and I need to purchase a new phone, but I totally confused on what to purchase.
My Tilt has the following programs installed, that I use on a daily basis:
Voice Command, Note2Self, SPB Wallet, SK Tools, Skype, Handy Shopper, in addition to the WM Office suite.
These are the programs that work well for me and I am comfortable with.
My question is this>
Can a widows 7 Phone do all the above or do I find a used WM 6.1 or 6.5 phone…will I like WM 6.5 better?
Or dare I say it…an Android?
Since your a windows mobile user and I'm guessing your most familiar with that os I suggest the touch pro 2 or the HD2. The touch pro 2 because it's a user friendly device, nice sized keyboard and purely reliable. The hd2 is also a nice pick it has a 4.3in screen an extremely fast processor and the touch is pretty sensitive/similar to the iPhone. You can go to htc.com to check the specs and see what you like best.
These are both 6.5 wm capable phones and the HD2 can flash wp7. I personally like winmo over android because of office suite but android is not bad either.
thanks for the info...what does "flash wp7" mean?
The HD2 has a very active dev community and one of the things they have accomplished is to port other operating systems to the device. So you have a choice now between keeping it on the stock WM6.5, or 'flashing' an alternative OS like WP7 or Android.
If you bought one yourself you would have the added bonus of being able to use the apps that you are familiar with.
Thanks for your thoughts.
What about the new HTC Inspire...any thoughts?
Ok. Let me say that I am a windows man. Current phone = HTC TP2. I want to uupgrade 6.5.x onto a WM7 hardware platform but no joy. Damn Metro UI thingies.
Now, I am finding myself looking at the android-based phones and still want the same funcitonality that I enjoy with windows mobile...ie.. complete office suite sync without buying 3rd party apps or going through Google. Microsoft Money/Quicken sync. Luckily I find that most major apps I use have android options.
Is there a migration guide?
thx
