Well, it looks to be official, HTC is rolling out WM6 upgrades for some of their devices (as we all may have heard). Here are the current devices that are initially planned:
HTC Advantage
HTC TyTN
HTC S620
HTC P4350
HTC P3300
http://www.solopalmari.com/images/stories/007/04/WM6_statement_.pdf
But, there is somewhat of a silver lining. If you read the .pdf in the link, it may not be limited to just those phones. There will be no upgrade fees for the carriers, so it's up to the carriers discretion to release the upgrade for whatever devices they deem "worthy". I would think the best way to go about getting it released for the Wizard would be to contact your carriers and request it. If they get enough requests, I can guarantee they'll make that upgrade available.
Despite having some great releases from some great chefs, it would make cooking that much better with an official OS release.
At any rate, CALL YOUR CARRIERS!!

I hoped to get a more special answer. When you take a datasheet of both - it is the same. Just the camera and teh thicknes. So what is really different. And if people can crossover a hermes rom to wizard it must be possible to crossover a herald to wizard. becuse it is same function than wizard.
So what is the difference?

All WM6 for wizards are based on a hermes AM6 and mixed up with wizard stuff - mun does it for his base rom. MAny people now are developing this mun rom.

Well, sounds like I've been away from the Wizard forums for too long . I didn't know that mun's was pulled from a Hermes. Very interesting.

"New OS build contains not whole files from tytn's rom, but more of them.
As i said before: camera is oem application and couldn't work on wizard. And i rebuild some modules from tytn's rom by myself to force it to work.
Im going to finish my tests of that rom, but i can say now that it has very good perfomance. It works like a charm.
Btw, it is unique rom. All roms that contains os 5.2.968 and the same build or rom version, will have my rom as base rom. So I am the first man who made t"

O2 UK says no...
Here is the response I received from O2 Data Support when I referred them to the announcement from HTC:

Good Morning Terry
Thank you for your email
I am not aware at present of any Windows Mobile 6.0 upgrade options being made available for our XDA devices including the XDa Mini S in the very near future. Historically speaking O2 has only provided ROM upgrades on the existing OS and has never provided OS upgrades on any of the XDA devices. Please monitor the website link attached below for future upgrades.
http://www.o2.co.uk/xda
If you require any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Kind regards

That's not true my friend... The Faria ROM is a REAL Wizard WM6 ROM, trust me! Was not ported!

Maybe. But all based on mun are not real WM6 - and perhaps i´m one of the "I don´t believe someone´s telling until i see"-people. But Faria mention a lot what he knows and what will come.
We will see.

Just stop it here - ok. Some people prefere that some that. OK? But I think there are so many discussion meanwhile about what is written and what not - that it is obviously that time goes on?!
hey
how about, everybody on here gets together and 'badgers' or (requests, to put it nicely! ) a specific operator for the rom update?
rather than 10 people each asking 10 diff operators, lets just get together and ask one, would be more likely, and either way, once we have one official update in our hands, thats all we need really!
how bout it then chaps?!(and chap-esses)

That seems like a good plan to me. What operator did you have in mind? We should probably pick one that has traditionally been more open to upgrades in the past. That would definitely rule out Cingular/ATT here in the US.
Also, papamopps, give Dr. P. some respect and credit on the issue of what OS is based on what device. If anyone would know, he would.

I don´t wanted to blame anyone - espacially no Dr. P - I know he is a guru.
I only have some little problems with Faria´s behavio the last time. And i´m not alone with this.
Btw they´re doing great WORK and we all need it. Thanks to any Rom-cooker.

No offense was taken by me. As for Faria, yes he can be a little *****y, most genius's are.. Please realize though that he DOES "butter our bread", along with others. And he DOES endure a lot of nonsense and crap. Myself, I wouldn't have come back after some of crap that he (and me in a VERY small way) have taken here.....
Now, back to the OP! I doubt that Cingular is going to be of any help, morons... I WILL say that I've seen more come from T-Mobile regarding official updates with the Wizard (nudge, nudge, wink, wink)
I would vote for T-Mobile too. O2 suck for updates.
Hi there,
received my o2 XDA Orbit 2. How come it looks so much better than the Polaris?

It's your opinon...
Which, by the way, I don't share
HTC cruiser, IMHO is 10x nices than O2...but discussing design, it's worthless, because opinons are something very personal..
Bye

Howcome? Because it doesn't lol As the person above me explained, it's a personal opinion which design you like more. I personally think the o2 one definately doesn't look as good as the Cruise. But then again I can totally understand why you and others like the o2 more.
And in the end it really doesn't matter, what does matter is if the device is what you want it to be. And if you are happy with it. I don't care if something is the most hideous looking thing ever, if you are happy with it and love it be my guest! Good for you!

Me +4
I have been using this since April 2, and my Kaiser has been in my drawer ever since (sorry HTC)
Which one, the 8502 or 9502. I have an 8502 and I've gotta tell you, it is by FAR the best PDA phone I have ever used. Not only is it VERY small in size which is GREAT, but the battery life is good too. If it had a VGA screen, and maybe a front facing camera, it would be the best phone ever. My buddies 9502 is also a very solid phone. Abit bulky but not too bad. Thinner than the tytn II but longer.
again, this forum is called XDA-devs. I find it somewhat hypocritical that it encompasses only HTC made devices. But a rule of thumb is that if its not available via XDA, it's not getting a forum.
Weird, but thats how it works

As the portal (the main page...) says, it's devoted to HTC devices.
I'm in too! I owning one 8502 and generally satisfied. Of course, it could be better with new ROM supporting SDHC!

It will never support SDHC. It is a hardware issue, in that the Wifi card uses some parts of the SD card reader.

that sucks! i hope the WM 6.1 will have an update for it.
No, it will support it.... Its not a hardware issue.... You will see!
Never gonna get tired of this phone. It's the best and only QWERTY phone I will ever use.
Best I have ever had
I have had my 8502 for about 11 weeks and it is by far the best unit I have ever owned.
This is at least my 8th PDA and I migrated from a JasJam and in every aspect the 8502 is far superior even with WM 6.0.
I use it quite heavily with lots of software installed and certainly have not had the issues that some of you are talking about.
All I am waiting for is WM 6.1 and some Rom cookers and the 8502 will be even better.
i'm suprise that my Imate 9502 is very stable and everything just works!
i have a tytn 1 upgraded to WM6.1, and usb tethering keep disconnecting!
8502 user here........ must agree this is the best windows mobile i have used.....just check out my signature, been through a lot of pdas in the last couple of years....

For me too
Hi Reader,
As a request, Id like to ask for a favour in helping me get a new phone.
Been using a HP IPAQ rw6828 for a yr now, and quite frankly didnt disliked it much.Need to change to a WM6.. have had a enough of all the Nokias.
Used the Black N95 for abt a day and got rid of it.
Kaiser TYTN II/ Blackberry Curve or anyone you guys could suggest.
Apologies if this is the wrong forum but didnt found any other forum best suited for this.
Cheerz
I suggest the Tilt....
Thx
Hi Bruv!
1st up thx for the reply!!...I kinda like the black one too... I guess tilt and Tytn II are same... js the weight thing kinda puit me off....
i noe this is XDA PDA forum, but Blackberries are outta liking??
Anyhow... I see you guys breaking a lotta code n making new ROMS... id suppose HTC TYTNII can be tested for a lot of ROMS and softwares.. can it?
tytnII and tilt are identical except for the difference that the tytnII has the front camera while att has cleverly removed that from the tilt.
As far as upgrades go there are a ton of options available here. All depends on what you want and which route you want to go on. Before doing any upgrades though i highly recommend that your read the kaiser wiki.
If you are going to be flashing new roms than don't forget to flash hardspl first to your device; again this is all explained in kaiser wiki so please do read it if you plan on going that far with device.
As far as suggestion i definitely recommend the tilt. It is a great phone/pda/micro laptop and has the capabilities to do alot of wonderful things.
enjoy,
peace
sire
Cheerz bro!...
Will go on wid TyTN II
XDA fo sure roks!
Hello guys,
I need you help.
I'm planning to buy a HTC phone pretty soon (gonna buy it on ebay)
Currently I have to decide between the TyTN Hermes (not Kaiser) and the HTC p4350 Herald.
I simply don't know which phone to pick...
I'd like to use the phone for calendar, to-do, w-lan.... and in general I want to mod the phone to my needs
The pros for the Tytn Hermes are:
400 MhZ and UMTS
but as I read, there are ppl having various problems with that phone...
I'd be glad if ppl could reply and tell me about their experiences with these phones (or make another suggestion).
Thanks alot
chbe26
P.S.: I hope this is posted in the right area, it not please move it
you should look for threads in the hermes/herald section either comparing the two or just giving you a wide view of the phone.
I use a Hermes, but would recommend the Kaiser for the extra ram, and the possibility of running Android on it. If you want to run a fancy shell like m2d, then the extra ram is a must.
Also, (while not wanting to put down the fine chefs working on Hermes), there are a lot more people cooking for the Kaiser, and I think the driver issues have all been solved now.
