will it work on the t-mobile dash?

At last, an official announcement! Now we can put an end to all the sneak peek screenshots, articles, and rumors. The update looks promising and a lot more user friendly. But still needs that fluid and seamless transitioning between, for instance, opening and closing windows/applications

Read the following:

I'm hoping this isn't an April Fools announcment ;)

Will there be any more phones/providers announced as providing the update?

I am quite surprised, and a little bit mad, that not one of the Verizon phones are there.  I find it a little "weak" to say the least.

Today, our friends on the Windows Mobile Team have announced Windows Mobile 6.1 at CTIA Wireless 2008

I think everyone is interested to know if/when/how current devices that run WinMobile 6 will be upgradable to 6.1

I have an HTC Excalibur (Dash) and T-Mobile has a free upgrade from Windows Mobile 5 to 6 at http://www.t-mobile.com/wmupgrade/

I think it's likely they will do the same for 6.1.  I would call T-Mobile and ask for it on the day it's released.  They will be more likely to offer an upgrade if existing customers are actually asking for it.

Ieri è stato annunciato ufficialmente Windows Mobile 6.1. Potete vedere qualche immagine su Facebook

Will there be a new version of ActiveSync released to support new 6.1 devices?

There will be an update for HTC S730 smartphone? Any answers via email (PauliusBa@hotmail.com) will be GREATLY APPRECIATED!

MelSam, thanks, will version 4.5 of ActiveSync work fine with 6.1 (it supports WM6.0), like WMDC 6.1..

I have seen "cooked unofficial 6.1 ROM's" but I want the official 6.1 ROM for the HTC HERMES ala AT&T 8525

I know recently the Official 6.0 ROM was taken down as of FEB 1 on both official AT&T and HTC sites!! So should I be expecting an update or do I have to go get a unofficial cooked 5.1 ROM???

Hi team , thx for your release,

Pls only one small question

the new LG KS20 with windows mobile 6,

it's capable for windows mobile 6.1 ???

Umm...Hello? Can we get some idea of what WM 6.1 Professional will be like? WM Standard isn't the only flavor out there.

Pünktlich zu CTIA Wireless in Las Vegas hat Microsoft gestern Windows Mobile 6.1 offiziel vorgestellt. Nach dem ersten Start fällt das neue Getting Started-Menü auf, das die Erstkonfiguration des Gerätes erleichtert. Darüber hinaus hat Microsoft s

Will there be an official 6.1 rom to HTC s730 (Wings)?

There's nothing really interesting about the new WM6.1, specially for the Professional version that doesn't include the new home screen!.

-The memory management is still a problem for mobiles with 64MB of RAM.

-Touch capabilities for Professional version is with no doubt unusable in some cases. The solution: Buy a third party software to fix the problem.

-No new keyboard, use your stylus not your fingers. The solution: Buy a third party software to fix the problem.

-No new Home Screen for Professional version, again  the solution: Buy a third party software to fix the problem.

I see this release as the Service Pack 1 for WM6, so nothing new can be expected.

I'm guessing that means no good news for folks who've just bought a T-Mo shadow (HTC Juno).

That said I like the task manager and Neo homescreen I already have.

Would love some perf improvements and polish but I guess it's a lot of work for T-Mo to reapply all their changes to a point release when they'd prefer people to just buy a new device ;)

I do hope that HTC provides its S730 users with a new ROM update for windows 6.1 and also clears the issue of memory & video playback.

HTC are you listening.

I have a blackjack 2 and cant wait for the update any one have a link for an unofficial version.

For developer, any update in the new OS version? Will you announce an update SDK?

Need to know if anyone has a link for windows mobile 6.1 for BJ 2.

( official/ unofficial)

is wm 6.1 available for "ATT Palm Treo 750"???

WM5, WM6 and now WM6.1, wonder why even with so much dogfooding the folks miss basic features!!

All corporate folks get outlook invites, and the location field invariably contains dial-in bridge number. For some vague reason, the numbers dont get hyper linked and you have to go to edit, select the field, select the number to dial, then copy and the paste it in your phone application.

c,mmon guys..  just this feature makes Palm more liked than Windows Mobile

Please, please, please tell me you can change the date format in the home plugin to a Long Date without hacking up the short date.  One of a the most requested items for the HTC Home Plugin and its the first thing I notice on the WM6.1 demos.

Will this also be available through Bell in Canada?

will window mobile 6.1 work on samsung blackjack...?>

Great job with the new features.

Anyone think of implementing a FastForward setting to go along with FastBack in IE mobile, aka the "I'd like to read NY Times Mobile while on the subway?"  This would be a great "on-the-go offline navigation" beyond literally syncing downloaded web pages.

Any information about new apis and threaded sms?

because we have a rule client software that does no more work on new wm6.1.

thanks

I talked to T-Mobile today and they told me that WM 6.1 upgrade for the Shadow will be end of May? Early June, but he said it will be version 6.01?, don’t know how much difference that is?, I am going to do more research?

The Windows Mobile Team should be working on a special build for the touch based devices running Windows Mobile Professional 6.1. When will this team ever give some more attention to the User Interface? It's obvious that the world is moving quickly towards a stylus free and finger friendly devices that is responsive and gives a seamless interaction between applications. When will we see a "significant" update to Windows Mobile guys?

I would like to ask WM Team... will this version work with T-Mobile MDA Touch... and where we can get the update

hmmm. t-mobile wing was 1st in north america to use wm6 -- yet I've received nothing informing me of update to 6.1--- need to dig deeper ?
