T-Mobile Dash Upgradeable to Windows Mobile 6

Our T-Mobile tipster just sent us a bit of good news for current Dash users. It seems T-Mobile is going to be releasing Windows Mobile 6 as an upgrade for subscribers this spring. No exact date as of yet, but it seems like it's coming some time in the next few months. For free.

We're still looking into whether other phones can be upgraded to WM6, so check back to see if yours can. Most of the OS improvements aren't hardware reliant, so most should be fine. – Jason Chen

Thanks Tipster!

Ummm, Isn't it a bit odd that the coverage of the Tmobile Dash is sponsored by Sprint?

From what I understand, most phones are capable of the upgrade. The issue is the service providers issuing the upgrade. I for one would appreciate an upgrade of my NEW Sprint Moto Q, but doubt it will ever come.

It may not be supported, but I was able to upgrade my Cingular 8125 to Windows Mobile 6.

Lots of information here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/

Great news! It's good to see T-Mobile caring for their customers. I hope this rolls into an upgrade for SDA users, also.

There has been a rumor about "firmware upgrade" for the cingular 8525 going around. Maybe this is the big upgrade windows mobile 6. But one could only hope that such good things could come to be.

I hope they release an upgrade for my MDA. If not, I wonder if I can just download the Dash's upgrade and upgrade my MDA. I wonder if that might work, if not, then I guess I am stuck using a custom rom release from one of those other sites, hofo anyone!

Don't use the Dash update for your MDA. The Dash doesn't have a touchscreen.

Noticed lou2ser above... are you Beta-testing or is Mobile 6 available to the public?

I have the new Windows Mobile 6 upgrade on my dash. A few good features I like and dislike are...

Pros:
Good New Look and Design
Seems to run more smoothly
E-mails in Full HTML

Cons:
No More Voice Tags, They now have voice commands, which doesn't alwasy recognize the command. The tags were way better!
The Alarm is different, May need a 3rd party App.

Most people are unhappy with the update, I loved the voice tags. But would rather have the e-mails the way they are. Wish I could have both or re-install voice tags in windows mobile 6
