Still buggy, but it works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jonajuna Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 nope, htc will only be offering upgrades to 6.5 on new htc hardware and as our touchHD's are last years tech, we wont be included. as the poster above said, they are cooking over on xda dev but that is based on a leaked beta rom..... unstable in will equal unstable out. when 6.5 is released later this year, im sure some nice stable roms will be cooked for us. although from what i can tell, there is little to gain other than an 'improved' front end. but i prefer to use spb wares for my today screen even as far as ditching tf3d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite the new additions to the HTC range, the Touch HD remains a "current" model - the only real reason to supecede the Touch HD would be to incorporate one of the new 1 GHz chips. However, it might be some time in coming! I had a SIM free Touch Dual with WM 6.0. HTC then upgraded new Touch Duals to be released with WM 6.1 [vast improvement in Bluetooth profile for my keyboard, if nothing else!] but I had to wait ages for them to release the official ROM upgrade. I have my Touch HD for another 15 months before an upgrade is due so I am hopeful that HTC will do something for me, in the interests of retaining a loyal customer...

Guest jonajuna Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 :( dont hold your breath on the upgrade B) "Sadly, Microsoft's saying that no devices in the market today will receive official 6.5 updates, but don't pull out your wallets just yet, though -- the first devices with Windows Mobile 6.5 preinstalled should be available in the fourth quarter of the year." http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/16/microso...ows-mobile-6-5/ "3:42PM Chou just announced -- well, he already mentioned it at the HTC briefing, but we think this is the official unveiling -- that customers of the Touch Pro2 and Touch Diamond2 will get 6.5 upgrades for free. Thank goodness!" http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/16/live-fr...ess-conference/ TP2 and Tdiamond2 are current as in being released...... our TouchHD's are past releases, i doubt we will get a rom upgrade.... well not from HTC, other developers will release for us though as they always do but then again, wm6.5 is mostly eyecandy, wm7 is where the changes will happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
