Hey, just one thing I'm a bit confused about.
I remember reading on the WM twitter page in May that WM6.5 had RTM'd. So how are we still getting new builds then?
Or am I mistaken in thinking in terms of desktop OS's, and perhaps MS just constantly work on builds of WM??
Cheers for any clarification.
Marc.
Just read @ the Inq that they'll have a "Windows Phone" preview posted tomorrow, so I'm guessing a general release will happen next week.
Hmmmm..... my acer m900 is supposed to be WM6.5 upgradeable and whislt there is a cooked rom for it, I wonder if this is why they haven't released a new firmware for it yet......

Are there any ROMs here containing the official WM 6.1? Everything I see is either based on the leaked betas, or they don't state it (at least to clear enough for me).
if there was you would not have to post a new thread to find out
it would have been posted already !
The answer is no. Although Microsoft has officially released 6.1 and announced certain devices that will eventually get the upgrade, the manufacturers have not released the upgrades yet.

I thought maybe I had missed something.
Can someone clarify the following please:
I just noticed some RSS feeds where MS has JUST announced the release of WM 6.1?? How is it we have this forum has had it for months now?
Also- this is my main question - in looking around the web at various video's of WM6.1 there is a new front end that looks pretty nice - how come I never see this on this forum?
Thanks!
same thing as how do people get music CDs before they come out...they get leaked out. and all these roms aren't official. there will probably never be an official copy for kaiser.
and that video is probably for smartphones. Our phones are PPC which contains professional version (touchscreen).

Q1: That's simple. The ROMs you see here are non-official/leaked.
Q2: There's are not so much changes in WM6.1 Professional, but WM6.1 Classic has a new interface/Today Screen.
That's what they show in a lot of videos.

No because Microsoft released wm 6 and 6.1 as a free upgrade. It is the job of your phone provider to port it to their hardware. But the people here cook up custom ROM. So they are just taking the place of the providers doing it.

Presumably though, the providers have signed an agreement to allow them to do this?
I'm just speculating and don't get me wrong, I'd hate to not be able to get hold of cooked roms but the legalities of it all is something thats been on my mind for a while now.
Kind of off topic, but you misspelled "confusion"
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
Hi Guys,
When is 6.5 getting released? Did Microsoft announce any deadline? Heard it is gonna have Zune software packaged with it; true?
Regards,
Speedin_Driver.
MS presented on WMC 2009, that in 2nd half of 2009 it will be distributed among manufacturers. First WM 6.5 should be on market in beginning of Q4 (october). But, it might be delayed.
we have 6.5 ROMS for other phones (Pocket PCs).. when will smartphones get it?
Once the standard version leaks somewhere! If you find it somewhere, just post it, I'll try to port it!
BTW: I'll upload a multi-language 6.1 Neo ROM soon!
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!

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?
