[Q] Upgrading to windows 6.5 or 7 on old Palm treo 700wx - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
First of all if I am breaking any etiquette rules I apologize.
Have a Palm Treo 700wx on a carrier who buys wholesale from Sprint. Can I upgrade to Windows 6? 6.5? or 7? If so how do I do it? I am pretty PC literate but a real newbie with mobiles.
Thanks for your help
Ben

3GSM 2007: Windows Mobile 6 upgrade for Treo 750 coming

Palm is announcing upgrades to Treo 750 to get upgrades to Windows Mobile 6
At 3GSM in Barcelona, Spain, Microsoft announced Windows Mobile 6, the newest version of their mobile phone software platform. As a strong Microsoft partner, Palm plans to offer Treo smartphones with Windows Mobile 6 later this year.
"Our continued collaboration with Microsoft gives our customers a powerful combination�Palm's hallmark ease of use with the power and security of Windows Mobile favored by many businesses. We look forward to integrating Microsoft's new operating system as we continue to help people around the world stay connected with Palm's unequaled mobile-computing experience." said Stephane Maes, Senior Director, Smartphones, at Palm.
... as you can read here.
It is unclear however which Treo 750 is meant - the one from Cingular in USA or the one from Vodafone in Europe? In any case the HSDPA upgrade for Treo 750v (the one from Vodafone) still is not available so maybe it will be included in the Windows Mobile 6 upgrade? For now it is unclear when this Windows Mobile 6 upgrade will be available but by this announcement Palm sends clear signal "you can buy 750 safely without being worried that it runs outdated operating system because upgrade is coming". Very good decision of Palm! ... (also Windows Mobile 6 upgrade to T-Mobile Dash has been announced) and now it is yet to be seen which other Windows Mobile manufacturers will follow with which handsets...

This is amazing news! I applaud Palm for this, it is a great move by them as they are getting reading to release the Treo 750 sim-free around the rworld and extend it to more carriers around the worlds also and they wouldn't be selling many without this upgrade. Can't wait for Q2 2007!!!
I m think of unlock my 750v ,but meaby is beter to wait for 6.0,couse I have Hermes already,so I can wait (if not to long) . When does it shows up (wm 6.0) ?

Windows Mobile Phone Programs

Hi all,
I used to have a Microsoft Smartphone, until I switched to an HTC TyTn. I'm thinking of switching back to the smartphone because it's lighter. My question is, with the new Windows Mobile Branding, will my TyYn's software be usable in, say a TMobile Dash? I need to know this because I bought Tomtom 6 and I want to be sure it works with a Dash (or any Windows Mobile Smartphone for that matter). Thanks.

win mobile 6 rom

Found a torrent for the AT&T/Cingular win mobile v. 6.0; this is called a leaked rom on the site. I just bought a treo 750 on ebay and haven't received it yet but I wondered if the win mobile v. 6 for AT&T will work on any unlocked Treo 750?
If so, is it best to use this version for an update of the os, or to use one of the more recent ones on this site - perhaps v. 6.1 or 6.5? Being a complete newby for a windows mobile smartphone, I really am not sure about how to upgrade the os.
