6.5 isn't available for download on any American phones yet, nor has the Fuze been definitely listed as a phone that will be getting the upgrade. Go to Raphael Rom Development for a wide variety of custom 6.5 roms in the mean time.
They are all better than any M$ 6.5 rom anyway.

It likely will, but even if it does not, you can trust your friendly modding community to cook one for you.

By the time WM7 comes out I'm sure there will be a HTC 9225 model out. And hopefully it won't have a 50 cent video driver in it!
I am for sure, WM7 will take at least another year to be released , if not more...
Else we would not have wm6.1
Most of the new handsets details that are leaked from vodafone , show that they have wm6.1

Let's hope not - apparently there's a whole team at MS dedicated to porting Zune technology to the WM platform - how sweet would that be!
The recent leaks about WM7 say that we will not see any WM7 devices until 2009 and according to the other info I have read, I don't see it coming a moment sooner. So hopefully WM 6.1 and XDA will be enough to hold us until then.
The Tilt will get it...
See here for information about the supported devices for System Center Mobile Device Manager 2008 which requires WM 6.1...
If you look up one page at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/mobiledevicemanager/default.mspx look on the right side of the page.
Currently, the following devices will receive a software update that allows them to work with System Center Mobile Device Manager:
* AT&T Tilt
* AT&T Blackjack II

It looks like some update is comming.
I think it will get it but it might take some time...

Our Hong Kong carrier tells us "Latest updates from HTC re the new ROM development. They will launch Windows Mobile 6.1 for TyTNII in end Feb."
Windows Mobile 6.1 Feature Preview attached.
There is a new Rom from HTC for AT&T tilt.
http://www.america.htc.com/support/tilt/software-downloads.html
Anybody have any info on it? I'm sure not many people care with WM6.1 floating around but was wondering if anybody knows how different it is from the 1.61.502.2 version I got from this site. The new version says its 1.62.502.0.
I would try WM 6.1 but I use my phone for business and I'm nervous about using 6.1 beta builds. Am I being crazy not to go to WM6.1 and going with the new one from AT&T.
there's a few threads dealing with this release........why dont you look in those threads
Lots of discussion on here about this update. In fact, Alex has already integrated into the Kaiser Kitchen. I'm using a self-cooked ROM utilizing this base - works great. Do a search for more info...
So if WM6.1 goes official on April 1st, then what does that mean for all the "official" ROMs that are currently available?
The latest images of WM6.1 on http://www.boygeniusreport.com/ shows a kinda slick interface that isn't part of any of the ROMs here. At the same time does anyone know if HTC is going to release a true 6.1 ROM for the Kaiser?
I really liked to cooked ROMs but inquiring minds want to know!

That "slick" interface, is for WM6.1 Standard...aka non-touchscreen SmartPhone.
1 april foolsday don't forget
OK, so it's not for touch-screen. But the basic question still remains - what does an Official WM6.1 mean for the claimed "official" ROM's here?
I really like the cooked ROMs but have had mixed results with all of them. Some have great features, some are really fast, but none of them have been reliably stable. I live and die by email and phone calls, so regardless of what is in a ROM if it is not stable then it's usefullness is limited to me.
I understand that all the current Kaiser WM6.1 ROMS are builds from other devices, just ported over. So will a true Kaiser WM6.1 bring cooked ROMs with better stability and cool features?
Hope this is the right place to ask this.
Will both these devices be running on WM 6.5 out of the box or just the Firestone?
I ask because I have seen conflicting reports on this.
I am told that even if the Touch Pro doesn't come with 6.5 it will be offered as an upgrade by HTC as soon as 6.5 is available?
I never got a Touch HD in the end or X1 because I saw 6.5 was on the way & thought I would wait for that & if I am going to get a HTC device I want to know 6.5 will be in the equation.
Your information is correct. If 6.5 comes out before the new phone, the phone will contain 6.5. If the new phone comes out first then it will contain 6.1 and an upgrade will be available.
While I have yet to see a definitive list, the general concensus is the phones that were released in the last year or so Raphael, Diamond , Blackstone, et.al, will have an upgrade to 6.5 available from HTC, the older Touchs, Kaiser, Titan Mogul, will not have 6.5 updates avaiable.
But around here does it really matter what HTC or the carriers choose to make available ?

That's interesting to hear as I thought they weren't going to offer 6.5 for devices such as the Touch HD. Be interesting to see if 6.1 and 6.5 devices released in 2008/2009 will be able to be upgraded to WM 7.
While HTC's profits lie in selling new phones and there is no profit in supporting older phones, there is a certain PR standard that has to be maintained. I should think that to not offer an upgrade for a phone that was released less that a year ago ( Blackstone ) wouldn't sit well with many customers and potential buyers.
But as I said, around here it is a rather moot point as I was running a 6.1 rom well before 6.1 came out, and have been running 6.5 for over a month, well that is until M$ issued their cease and desist order, at which point I complied and immediately downgraded to 6.1.

We have all probable seen the pictures of how WM 6.5 differs as far as the UI is concerned by how different is it 'under-the-hood' so too speak?
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.
