I have had the SERO plan (free data) from Sprint for over 2 years, which I like, and a Treo 700wx, which I don't like. I am leaning toward getting the Treo Pro, but I need to know that I will be able to upgrade to WM 6.5, or otherwise I've had enough of the unfriendly, slow and buggy WM on my old phone.
Will I be able to install WM 6.5, if I get the Treo Pro? I don't care if it's official or not, as long as it works fine, and doesn't give me any more grief.
If this is possible, can someone please write out detailed instructions about how to get WM 6.5 onto the phone, assuming that they are dealing with a total idiot, as far as WM phones go?
You can't install 6.5 at the moment.
It's anyone's guess as to whether there will be an official upgrade. Palm appears to have forgotten about the Treo Pro, so it seems unlikely (although some say they've heard rumblings that Palm has been testing it).
An unofficial custom rom looks like it might be on the horizon. There's been a lot of work put into it over the past few months. I'd say this is more likely than an official update, although it's still not 100% guaranteed.
Do you think, there will be NO Treo Pro WM6.5 upgrade?
I hope, they will at least support us with this upgrade unless they have stopped working with windows mobile...

At least not an official one. There is now a custom ROM with WM 6.5 and 6.5.1 out there, so it is possible to get it to your TP... if it's CDMA. GSM is a no go still.
Cheers!

Hello, I am one of the biggest noobs in here and I just got a treo pro off ebay from someone for 110....
It has win 6.5 on it and it took forever and a day to change over phones and everything with Sprint.
I am not sure if I like this or not.
I am so new to all of this, cant even sync the dang thing yet.
Help
I will ask the question in another thread just to be appropriate.
WIth the Tilt 2 and WM 6.5 coming will the Fuze see an upgrade or will it be only for the Tilt 2?
Good question, but highly unlikely.
AT&T has already released a new rom for the Fuze with several fixes over 6 months ago. I'd be really amazed if they do offer a 6.5 rom for the Fuze. Though in all reality, i still fail to see why people stick with an oem 6.1 rom when 6.5 has so many improvements.
rumor has it that they're not going to give the upgrade for fuze owners. You'll have to deal with the cooked roms, (which i think really rocks, especially NRG's rom). People don't like trying new things and it's also about the big change from 6.1 to 6.5 which require a slight learning curve. but if you're here, then you're willing to learn.. i hope.
Agreed, huge NRGrom fan here, the latest release (genesis) is really nice!
you'd be quite happy with it - there is not much to fear about cooking. So long as you can have activesync connected to your phone for 10 minutes without interruption for the hardspl and rom install, you're golden (translation, don't try with activesync 3.0 or something really old that may not be reliable)
I personally REALLY like the new start menu for windows 6.5 - especially on newer builds where you can click and hold to move around programs
You will definitely not regret installing a cooked rom (again, my personal vote for newbs goes for EnergyROM)
rumours that AT&T is upgrading samsung jet & epix to wm6.5.
There are changes that fuze will be upgraded too.

Does anybody know of a date yet?
Seeing as how 6.5 is not officially to be released until october 6'th when the windows marketplace goes live, we'll see how long after that so AT&T can 'customize' the experience / Butcher the hell out of the rom.
I have a good feeling as soon as 6.5 comes out we are going to see a LOT more people hate their oem rom's.
i really really doubt there will be a 6.5 upgrade. to get an official rom approved, it requires the check off of the manufacturer (htc) and carrier (att) and maybe microsoft, im not really sure about them and winmo licensing to devices. but it would be easier to only focus on the newest devices. if you really want 6.5 they would prefer you buy a new device with it. ive been running 6.5 on my fuze for forever. it rtm'd in may so thats the real "release date" of 6.5. you dont buy windows mobile so dont focus on dates. new builds come out everday since forever. itll be interesting to see what htc does with 6.5 cause the new builds are ugly. for some reason microsoft decided to "improve" the interface without consulting on htc's design brilliance but whatever. we will see.
Does anyone know if you can install a cooked rom using Vista or Windows 7? I don't have access to a WinXP box right now.
Thanks
of course you can. theres no real difference. i have both vista and 7 for cooking. just right click and click run as administrator.

Really? Seriously? Granted, there are "under the hood" improvements but the UI is a bad joke.
How did it happen that MS can't even line up a grid of icons on a rectangular screen?
I'll tell you how. The artistiicly inclined design folks missed a meeting, and a geek with a slide rule explained how there would be more area for your fat thumb if icons were arranged in a "honycombed" grid.
This absurdity never got caught in time. Too late. Can't change it now. Wait for WM7.
Remember this whenever you look at your device.
Just my opinion. Doesn't matter. Some will be happy with whatever slop MS ships.
Sorry. I couldn't resist.

ROM=1.95.502.5 WWE

ok so here's the thing, i have an upgrade on sprint and am deciding between the touch pro 2, the hero and the samsung moment. the only reason i really like the hero is because of sense. but if if someone here knows how to get sense on the moment i would snap it up immediately.
however the touch pro 2 looks amazing with the big screen and that awesome keyboard. not to mention i looked around on the forums last couple of days and have seen all the crazy stuff for windows mobile with cooked roms and stuff. not to mention u guys have android on WM so yeah.
i'm coming from a pre, and was part of the first homebrewers so i doubt i'll have to much trouble with modding or rooting the WM or android phones. i dealt with alot of coding with the pre and it was a bit of a pain but enlightening.
so i'm just wondering what u TP2 and Hero users have to say. and if anybody can answer about getting sense ui on the moment that would be great.
tl;dr what should i get Hero, TP2 or Moment.

My advice...
Drop the Moment...
Go with a TP2. They are working on porting Android for this and will not be long before you can see a port with Sense on the TP2 (if there isn't one already).
Hope this helps.
so any other responses? or opinions.
Go for the TP2 which as mentioned has many cool stuff & more in development. Very reliable with a nice screen!
But if U want the cool Android stuff now, then of course it's the Hero...
so about the TP2 does it run sense like the hd2 or touchflo? and where do i go to get all the cool stuff for it, anywhere specific.

hello will sprint ever come out with a new release for the tp2 like idk 6.5.3?
i have a sprint tp2, also a tmobile hd2....i don't think the tp2 has 6.5.3, but the hd2 does .
Head over ppcgeeks.com, as they have the largest (afaik) list of tp2 cdma roms available, most of them are indeed wm 6.5.x and there are a few made specifically for sprint users. (Of course flashing them will void your warranty, but it´s worth the risk).

You will not find an official wm6.5.x upgrade for tp2.
PPCkitchen.org. Pick a 6.5.3 build and build one yourslelf. It might take a few tries but, it's not that hard to get started and you can customize a rom to your tastes with your apps.
