Guest mhickin Posted February 13, 2007 Report Posted February 13, 2007 Hi All, I don't claim to know much about this, so does anyone know if there will be anyway to upgrade an Orange M3100 to windows mobile 6.0 at any point in the future? Either by official or unofficial mechanisms? Thanks..

Guest bacus Posted February 14, 2007 Report Posted February 14, 2007 PPT feature? You mean Powerpoint? The 3100 has this already. I think he means PTT (Push-To-Talk)
Guest mikeeey Posted February 15, 2007 Report Posted February 15, 2007 I think he means PTT (Push-To-Talk) lol yes thats what i ment. PTT
Guest pisquee Posted February 15, 2007 Report Posted February 15, 2007 Mobile 6 updates will be released for some devices. Whether the Hermes is one we will have to wait and so. Although no doubt the ROMs available for updating other devices will be hacked around with and made to work on the Hermes and other devices ... I am hoping so anyways! :-)

Guest barfoo Posted February 16, 2007 Report Posted February 16, 2007 the latest AKU for the Hermes is AKU3.3 which adds push e-mail and fixes a number of issues. Orange have not released a single update other than a sole 2.3 AKU update which is now well out of date. if you want PTT functions on your phone then the only way you're going to be able to do it is by SuperCID'ing your phone and then flashing an alien OS to it like the Cingular one, although I've tried that one myself and I can't say it's terribly impressive, you're best off with the HTC Qtek test ROM. also, in an unrelated note: there's GPS on the M3100 - a number of us have flashed the Trinity radio to it and proven it... sadly there's no antenna hooked up from the looks of it, so the next stage is to get that wired up

Guest Christopher Woods Posted February 20, 2007 Report Posted February 20, 2007 Might add that the Vario 2 has push email via exchange server out the box, I've been using it for months now. Built-in GPS, eh? I enabled the hidden GPS settings page with the fit4cat Hermes tweaker, but I've only used my bluetooth QStarz receiver with the phone so far (and it works very nicely for things like Windows Live Search and suchlike, and WM5's ability to share GPS resources between multiple running apps is very cool indeed!)

Not to mention the XDA-Live Crossbow ROM for the Hermes being cooked over at XDA-Developers by Kyphur :D I'm not going to link to it, so find it yourself ;) Phil
Guest charmer Posted February 26, 2007 Report Posted February 26, 2007 Has anyone contacted Orange or any other provider to find out what they have to say about possible updates? I've emailed Orange, but not heard back yet. As much as I'd like an update - of any sort but particularly to WM6 - I'm not going to hold my breath. Orange have something of a history of not delivering in this department
Guest charmer Posted February 26, 2007 Report Posted February 26, 2007 Interesting little item on SmartphoneThroughts - free updates to WM6. Haven't been able to find any more info about this as yet but the story says that Microsoft are giving free licenses to vendor to upgrade devices. Fingers crossed, eh?

Guest mikeeey Posted February 28, 2007 Report Posted February 28, 2007 This has now been released too! i wont link to it either great! so that answers all of our questions. the hermes will have WM6! and itl probably be a free upgrade too.
Guest jimbouk Posted February 28, 2007 Report Posted February 28, 2007 I have installed it on my 3100... Its fast and so far reliable!
