Windows Mobile 6.1 Gets Official, No More Rumor Nonsense

I have a T-mobile dash and I have the kavanna 6.1 update but it is really screwed up on here and I'd love to have an official version from Microsoft, does anyone have a link to a 6.1 update for a dash or if the dash will get the update? I'd appreciate any info, thanks.

Dang, and I just rebuilt the kitchen ROM on my 6700. Well, at least it will be easier once this new OS gets ported for us..

I'm running this on my T-Mobile Dash now - much better than 6.0. Get it at XDA-Developers....

Why no love for T-mobile USA? That's where WM6 started, I need this for my shadow dammit!

I definitely want this on my AT&T 8525 (TyTN II).
My custom WM6 is awesome... I just hope the HTC Home plugins still work. Is there an expected date for release?

So is this just going to go through the Windows Update on the phone? Assuming you have one of the lucky phones above.

If I were on Sprint I wouldn't hold my breath, I received no notification they rolled out for an update for WM5 (back when I was on that awful mobile OS on the even more evilly thick PPC-6700 and useless) I ended up finding out through a friend who found out through some incredibly convoluted way there was a release.

It looks the same as WM5 to me besides the Calibri font and and glossy skin. Windows has Exchange and the syncing side down, please work on something useful like the UI.

I was hoping this update would fix the constant WM6 application crashes with my Samsung i760, but apparently I'm SOL. I hope there's at least a way to load Android onto this phone whenever it comes out.

@Chowday:

You have to wait for your provider to provide a ROM update, or visit XDA to apply a cooked ROM.

Yes, all very interesting. Anyone here know how to code an April fool's day cell phone virus that will change all the pink razor's ring tones to fart noises and vibration?

So when/how do we get this update if our phone was included? I'm new to the whole "phones with any features" game...

The "T" angle shoulf be Mr.T in that green open space saying "Without the T, it's just Blueooh" or maybe "It aint Bluetooth without the T!"

@dwight-schrute: I was thinking the same thing. No love for my Samsung i760. :( At least the xv6700 and xv6800 support custom roms. Samsung really screws people that want to customize their phones beyond the standard programs and settings.

Verizon's not even on the list, and despite the inclusion of the Q9C and Q9H, Q9M doesn't seem to be getting the update. That happens to be my phone, so I'm a little peeved. Verizon has consistently screwed its customers by not signing in for updates.

Oh man I totally hope T-Mo gets that new Touch Dual. That's the phone I've been wanting but the import price is just a little much for me these days...
