The good news is that this isn’t the 400th article this month talking about a potential Sprint/T-Mobile merger. The better news is that this rumor has a stronger chance of coming true than a Sprint/T-Mobile merger. One of my trusty ninjas hit me up tonight with information claiming that a Windows Mobile 6.5 update will see the light of day for the TouchPro2 and Dash 3G beginning January 6th, 2010. No other info was offered up with this date, though I assume it’ll be a pretty straight forward and available from T-Mobile.com. More details will be posted as we work to confirm this date, that while unconfirmed looks to be pretty solid.

The only update for a Windows Mobile device that would be worthwhile would be an update to Android. Zing!
Valuable opinion I second it…lol
Agreed Android all the way, Windows anything blows.
An “update” to google spyware is a downgrade!
Agreed…
The geeks can keep their limited Android.
The only update for Human Brain and not being stupid would be not update to Android junk.
I don’t want to start with an WM v Android rant but.
That might be good if:
android could sync directly with my outlook via active sync, and have my phone operating normally while still docked to my comptuer
if there was and free version of Everywan Remote support (a program where i can plug it in to my comptuer and view my phone screen on my comptuer send text messages and emails directly from my phone using my comptuer keyboard, be able to edit my registry and tweak the systems settings to customize anything i dont like
If there was a way for me to connect my bluetooth and voice dial, ask for time, appointments and so on
If i could have my phone read out my emails and text messages through my bluetooth or my speaker phone
if i could install Skyfire 1.5 to view any website with flash support
if i could flag my exchange account emails, send meeting requests, cancel meetings
if i could syncronize additional folders besides my inbox
if i android had WMWIFIROUTER where i can share my connection via bluetooth, usb, wifi,
if android had a native remote desktop application where I don’t have to go through a third party server.
If android could allow me to see the folders shared on my home computer via networking.
if….
if…
i can keep on going but i’ll just stop here.
So what can android do that WM can’t besides having a prettier looking way of looking and settings and programs?
awesome! haven’t tried Everywan Remote yet, but I’m about to. been using mymobiler (http://www.mymobiler.com/) for years.
anyways…after reading the first couple comments i started building my own list like this and it had some of the same, but a lot different too. I bought the G1 when it came out, took the hero for a test drive for a few weeks, and i still keep coming back to WinMo. Yes Android is prettier and has a cleaner ui, but no mobile OS can even compare to the power and flexibility of “Windows Phone.” Just throw on SPB mobile Shell 3.5 and then it has the best mobile interface too.
1. WinMo
2. Droid
3. Jailbroken 3GS
4. Crackberry
Haven’t messed with WebOS yet. Have a good day!
oh ya one more thing…FREE TP2 PLUS $100 cash for sending in a working phone made by BlackBerry, Apple, and Palm and/or have a Windows Mobile or Android operating system.
Link to get rid of crappy phone for some cash…

Comment about how great WinMo is and then ask me.

I hope people are getting excited fir the update comming to the Dash 3G
because the TP2 T-Mobile has is too pricey and it’s extremely ugly.
Lacks all high end aesthetics it originally offers.
its about time for this why couldnt they make this for december 25th it would be a very nice xmas gift for us. i just hope it looks like the european version of 6.5 with htc sense 2.1 not like the att version yuck
and you dash lovers *eli* you should keep your mouth shut about the tp2 because who are you to call a phone ugly that you probably never had in your hands before. the tp2 looks alot better in person then what it does in pictures
@ ariel
Actually I’m not a Dash 3G lover, and I have held the TP2 in hand.
In fact I’ve had Verizon’s, At&t’s and T-mobile’s in hand…..
And I a “consumer” have all the right to call a phone ugly if its in a choice portfolio of a carrier.
Oh and its quiet comical you spoke out of your mouth telling me to shut up
And yet all you did was insinuate.
You deserve an award for being meat head.
and i award you for being a dick head
Dude you have no idea what your talking about… the TP2 from t-mobile is the awesomest thing around.
lmao the EURO verison of the TP2 is way better but i guess the EURO version of any phone is always better lol waiting for HTC HD2 the TP2 was a let down HOPEFULLY THAT COMES TO t-MOBILE in the meantime guess i’ll just take some more pictures on my SAMSUNG BEHOLD 2 lmao……….
I have never understood all the hate toward windows mobile. I used a Wing for a while and it rocked. Dash 3G has to be even better. Can Android get Hotmail on the phone without hitting the website? Nope. Can Android view/edit Office docs right out of the box? Nope. F all you WinMo haters. WinMo is the only OS I’d trade my Android for.
Actualy it can do all those things and much more!!!
Android out of the box can create an Excel spreadsheet? Please do tell us how this works. I was under the impression that there are very expensive apps. on the market for this for a reason.
Hotmail? That’s your reason for choosing an OS? Wow… I love WinMo and have a TP2, but Hotmail? How in the world do you read your emails through all of that spam?
if you can even log in, its so easy to hack a hotmail account. Win mobile is for loosers and maybe old people. No wait i take that back my father inlaw has a myTouch.
Yeah Android can do those things but much more less otherthings!
sooooo, haha
how bout that G1v2!
Always funny to see the WM haters get themselves in a lather anytime anything remotely positive is said about WM. Its not as though there arent good android devices available but the pure hatred just cant be contained. If your android is so much better why arent you off enjoying it instead of stalking the net for WM news to baash?
Becuase sadly most of these WM haters are just bunch of loser. When they can’t win they try to win by trashing other things. So Sad!
to “just some dude”
you forgot to mention that wm is also for those of us who are more interested in being productive and maintaining 6 figure incomes than a toy phone that can mimic fart noises and light sabres. wm is the best solution available but it does require an iq above a sack of hammers
Well— I’d say this conencides with the release of the HD2 just perfectly then right? >:-)
01-06-10? That’s 3 months after WM 6.5 official release. I Dont understand this “fight” about Android vs WM? Both are great, Androids are good Multimedia phones and WM are very productive phones (business users) so you choose which one get. I use a TP2, If HTC HD2 comes Tmo I’ll buy it. I also like “HTC Bravo” 3.7 Amoled inch screen with Android OS. I did like the Hero and MyTouch but the screen is small for me. Anyways if you like ur phone dont talk s*** about others.
This is such a great news… Long live T-mobile
Greetings PDA users, Android & WM alike,
I used an Excalibur (T-Dash) for nearly 2 years and became hooked on WM. I dropped, kicked, and drop-kicked that device dozens of times before the screen finally shattered about two weeks prior to T-Mobile’s release of the Rhodium (TP2). That gave me some time to decide on a replacement device: I considered the G1, the newly released ‘My Touch’, but my primary focus was on the new Dash 3g and the TP2. Despite the huge price difference, I remembered how much I had longed for WM Pro when using the Dash and made the obvious choice: Rhodium.
Well, I am pleased with it. I am pretty darn thrilled to have WM Pro 6.1 (stock) and have spent countless hours trying out a huge collection applications that I could never get to work on my ol’ Dash but had kept stashed away for the PDA they were destined to be executed on. However, I too am less than pleased with T-Mobile’s treatment of WM (particularly TP2) purchasers.
Just for kicks I called T-Mobile’s customer service… I asked to be transferred to the PDA dept., but the rep. I spoke with insisted on helping me (claiming to be well versed in PDAs). So, simply asked: “When are you releasing the update to Windows Mobile 6.5 for the Touch Pro 2?”. After he put me on a brief hold to do some searching on the T-Mobile supercomputer for relevant information he came back and said, “I cannot find any information regarding an upgrade for your phone.” He did, however, transfer me to the PDA dept. where, again, I was put on hold, and told the exact same thing.
About 15 or 20 minutes had passed by this time and I decided to take it a step further and asked the PDA rep. if he could have his supervisor call me (I was told he wasn’t available). Again, I was put on hold for some time. You’ll never guess what he told me… well, if you have spoken to T-Mobile customer service, perhaps you will guess!
He said, “My supervisor told me that when an upgrade to 6.5 becomes available, it will be sent automatically to your ANDROID through the air waves like a radio.” I chuckled and said, “Thank you very much, that’s exactly what I needed to know.” and hung up.
I still love my Rhodium…
I love that Reply, t mobile spends to much time trying to push they android phones yet they need to work on better knowledgeable PDA reps an better service
I gotta touch pro 2 windows mobile rocks can’t wait for 6.5 =]
Tmobile techs told me that they have been trained on 6.5 but do not know the exact release date yet
