Hope to get that WM6 upgrade From your Manufacture?
The WM devices are designed in a way that the ROM can be upgradable just like your PC’s OS. However the reality is in general far away from it. We are at the mercy of manufacturers and carriers, due to the significant cost required in buying the new license and customizing, testing it on the device and networks as well as the help desk support infrastructure that needs to be retrained.
We learned from SmartphoneThoughts that Microsoft has given a free license to vendors who will upgrade their devices. So I think it’s clear that Microsoft understands the frustration that all of us feel when a new OS is released and are trying to accelerate the adoption. It’s expected that HTC will offer upgrades for any device with a keyboard - Dash/Excalibur will be the first to take advantage of the new upgrade. Unfortunately we don’t know what Motorola or Samsung plan to do about this.
