AT&T Windows Mobile 6 on 8525 (Blackjack, Treo 750?) in October


 Articleimages Img 0886

Steve Green over at PocketPC mag says he has the inside scoop on WM6 for the 8525: October 5th. As he says, that's a bummer - it makes hunting for the leaked 8525 WM6 ROM pretty tempting. I still think AT&T plans on releasing Windows Mobile 6 for the Blackjack and the Treo 750 at the same time. That's also a bummer, because I get about one request a day from people asking how to find the Windows Mobile 6 ROM for the Blackjack. My advice is the same bitter pill I've been offering since I gave it a shot: don't. Unlike the 8525 and the Treo 750 ROMs, the Blackjack ROM definitely feels like it's not the final version.

My source in AT&T has said that the official release date for the upcoming Windows Mobile 6 update for the 8525 will be October 5th. This is a huge disappointment for us who have been biting our nails for the release to be in late August or early September.

Dear Palm,

Don't bother.

Sincerely,
Leaked 750 ROM

Zing!

I'll tell you, though, the 750 does feel quite a bit better with Windows Mobile 6 on it. I honestly don't understand what the hold up is unless it's AT&T market-roids not seeing the forest for the trees. I saw a 750 running WM6 in March - MARCH - and it was running just fine.
