Hi. I am a completel newbie in here, I apologize upfront - General Questions and Answers

Heloo everyone. I just registered here at these forums because I have just got a gift from a friend. I got a brand new HTC Touch Pro that is made for Sprint. It doesnt have a sim-card which is another thing that I would like to discuss, but for now, I would like to get some help on upgrading my OS to something else. It has windows 6.1 I believe, or 6.0, I am not sure, but its not very stable.
I would like to know if any one can give me the most simple way to update to windows 6.5 or any other OS you might think is better than windows mobile 6 or 6.1.
I already read about roms, and downloading them, but all i get is links to other websites and the files that I am supposed to download are confusing me because they said its for the touch diamond, but i have a touch pro.
If any one can help me with this issue I would greatly appreciate it.
I apologize in advance for my noobiness and I appreciate any help in advnace.
Thank you and happy new year all.

I'm using US Cellular. Is that CMDA? And How do I back up my contacts since US Cellular doesn't have Sim Cards
Your Rhodium version is CDMA so this is your section:

Okay, thank you very much for your help. Once I do that, what will I be allowed to do with my device?
If it's any help there is an official 6.5 rom available from HTC. I've upgraded my phone and it was a worthwhile exercise.
I'm now looking into "upgrading" my old phone (i780). A lot of reading to be done!

I'm having problems with Mirage not detecting the phone. I can only run Win 7 or Vista. I'll have a good look at that forum.

[Q] Android on HTC Maple

Good day, I
just want to know a little bit about this process of porting Android onto Windows Mobile phones. I am completely new here. Why does it have to be OMAP850 devices that work? I dont quite understand why porting to Android works for HTC Excalibur but does not work on the HTC Maple when the Excalibur is an older phone. Is there anyone who can either point me to where i can get some more detailed reading into it or explain to me because i wish to replace Windows Mobile on my HTC Maple with Android.
Thanking you in advance for any assistance,
Regards,

Hi there, and welcome to xda .
Many answers to your questions will need more forum search. I can assure you will find those answers sice they have been addressed before.
On that note, I will close this thread.

hi!

my name is dale,
sorry if this is the wrong part of the forum, ive been looking for a newby forum and wanted to introduce myself however its friday and im starting to get tipsy! this site has helped me upgrade my battery pack, and internal memory on my htc hd7, and even replace my screen! i just wanted to say thank you and contribute where possible. ive been looking at wp8 and think its awesome! considering my 3 year old wp7 keeps up with quite a few modern phones with its mods i cant wait to see what the wp8 does. i just wanted to say THANK YOU XDA! no one will even try to argue with me about phones anymore... they only know how to buy them.
i read on a random thread while looking for the newby forum that i can take 10 questions that will show m not a spammer, would anyone mind helping me out with that? this site is HUGE! and also does anyone know of a screachingly fast single core processor/motherboard that will fit my phone? its about due for an upgrade too! or if someone has found a twin core+ that will work with windows 7 devices i'm open for ideas! no unlocking though, im not willing to deal with all of the glitches that come with that.
thanks,
dale
