My Cingular rep told me the Microsoft/Samsung revision was to be delivered
to Cingular by May 26. Cingular has 8 weeks to review for rejection, change
or release.

The T-Mobile group is posting lots of problems with the M6 upgrade. My guess
is T-Mobile did an early release for market advantage that wasn't well
tested. I have a major product release waiting on Mobile 6. I can wait 8
weeks, rather than fix early release mistakes.

Google is your friend. I've read postings of folks with the new
version on an 8525, where reports seemed favorable.

Torrents are also your friend.

I agree with the previous poster, I am willing to wait for the offical HTC
provided upgrade to WM6, and even may wait a month or so afterwards. This
is an expensive phone and it is under warrenty, not going to rush messing it
up to be cutting edge.

Then again, people on efnet #pocketpc have done the WM6 upgrade on their
8125's, 8525's and 8700's with no or little problems, All of you are
welcome to come over.

Certainly I understand your reluctance, but despite the good reviews
of WM6 (newer, faster, better), it hardly deserves a label as "cutting
edge".

LOL, I stand corrected.

True, but it corrected a few of the more nagging bugs/unfortunate design
decisions of WM5.

I suspect this new release would've probably been called "WM5 SE" (given
it's lack of significant new features plus MS' decision not to charge for
the update- previously unheard of for a PPC x.0 release) but I assume the
impending iPhone release convinced MS' marketing folks that the release
of a "new" OS, rather than a "second edition" was in order.

WM6 will be available from at&t for the blackjack in the future. Much
testing is done on software before a decision is made then it must be sent
to samsung for their programmers to write a firmware update. It is in the
works, will be free but we dont know when.
