Seems like a dejavu, just like my old 6365. HP is deciding not to upgrade any of their PDA to WM6
http://mobilitytoday.com/news/no_wm6_ipaq.html
Probably HP does not making $$$ from the selling of mobile.
is there any possiblility of using a Atom WM6 rom?
Maybe you got to wait for Atom Exec to be with WM6 before any hope for ur HP.
I don't suppose it could be work to use ATOM's rom.

Hi All,
I appreciate all your help with this. I currently own a Magician and love the size factor of the Atom. Is everyone happy with their Atom and would you recommend getting one. I know the new ROM upgrade makes a huge difference in performance speed and such. Also, I read somewhere that the Atom does not have a button lock so you can only have the power on button work(have it in your pocket and not accidentally dial out, that sort of thing) Is this so, and if so has the new Rom upgrades added this feature or is there a way around it.
Thanks so much in advance.
Todd
I also forgot to ask: I have just downloaded the new Windows Vista and there is no longer activesync but a new program. Has anyone had any experience with Vista and will their Atom still sync?
Update the Vista using windows update and you will get the mobile sync function. Does not use activesync anymore. Read this info somewhere here :roll:
You might want to reconsider the Atom. Consider a Prophet or Wizard

Hmm...Why?!Are you used all this devices?I sure that you does not... :wink: Atom better,faster and more usefull (but also more expensive) than both Prophet and wizard.
If you like atom go and get one (or HP 6828 if you like it more),one device that may be better (if you realy need keyboard) and can also be considered its new 9600 (Hermes) - also great device,by far better than 9100 (wizard)
Well the Atom Exec release date is 4th July and it will be retailing for a price of $1130 and that include Bluetooth headset and IR keyboard. so your problem might well be solved, if you dont mind a matte grey case and dont mind paying an extra $280 over the HP then the Exec could be your bet.

I have used the K-Jam and the JAmin (Prophet and wizard) and currently having the Atom, can not compare, it is a lot better, faster, and more stable and has got more features. I rarly soft reset it.
I will hold on to it for a while
Atom
Thanks all for your advice,
I did buy the Atom and love it. Far superior to my old Magaician. Its love again!
Todd
Like Todd, I'm looking to upgrade my magician, I was looking at the Hermes, but I don't really want a real keyboard, but the Hermes looked to have all the right functions. Having look around, and getting confused by other brand names this is what I have concluded.
The prophet is the same as the wizard but without a keyboard, so hopefully the Atom is the same as the Hermes but also without a keyboard. I can't find any reviews to confirm my hunch so I hope someone can answer my question or tell me where I can look.
All I want is WM5, built in wifi, and fast (400 Mhz +) processor.
Does Atom have a jog dial like the Hermes?
What type of memory card.
Thanks in advance
fingers88,
the atom is its own brand (not htc) I have had it for over a month now and it rocks. kicks butt on the magician. it
is mini sd and no jog but it is not missed, buy it, you will be glad you did.
Todd
Iam an atom user... have been for 1 month...
and I have fallen in love with it...
it's my mobile buddy... a welcome upgrade from my xda2 since I divorced the love relationship, because it was too damn huge!
I recently dropped it from 5 ft to a stone tiled hotel bathroom and it survived 100%... just like my xda2 has done...
also a great thing about the atom is it hasa notch/hook on the top left corner for a lanyard... it is an ideal size for a lanyard too.
i've some major scratchesonthe plastic... but idont care about them... the screen is finewith a protector.

i was wondering since these 2 pda phones its the same OEM..can i use o2atom rom on hp6828??is this recommended??
sorry if my question is stupid,kinda new to pda stuff
Interested to know, too, as we see Atom has various rom update with significant improvement, while many us HP owners still waiting and waiting for their 1st rom update....
If indeed Atom (or Exec) rom can be used, at least we can enjoy a seemingly more mature (and relative bug-free) rom on our HP hardware.
I am thinking of getting an atom because of the ROM improvement, but what make me consider the hp hw6828 is I like hp design, if hp can take atom ROM then I have no worries in getting the hp now
Does the HP have a bootloader? if yes then you should be able to use O2 rom the only thing is that the hardware keys are different but that is something quite easy to get around.
Hey man, dont try it pls, i try it becoz some mistake. u know wat happen?????
Everything fine, but when the device come out " Tap Screen To Start", I try everywhere on the screen, but nothing happen!!!!!!!! so, guess how???? Maybe some solutions to flash back to Hp ROM.....
anyone help?????????????
Hahaha..

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=263079
I want WM6 (Crossbow) for my Alpine too but I don't know why pof linked to the Linux thread? :?
Bug or feature?
Even WM5 not available for Alpine, how could WM6 will be available? Think about it!
Okay, you're right! A short but cool dream! :'(
how about wm6?..maybe it is easier to get it!!!
ok ok...I don't understand the real problem of our alpine, I had a 2020 in the past and I decide to change with the alpine thinking it was better (and it really is), but no one want to focuse the attention to wm5 or wm6 even if there is wm5 for the 2020...why??
we have more power, more memory, wifi ....what's the problem!!!
I am not an expert in this field,but a good informatic engineer could change wm5 for 2020 to one for alpine.
I am very upset beacuse a lot of programs are just for wm5...
when is WM6 or WM5 coming for Alpine as there is alot program that uses Wm5 nowsaday.
Really Wishes Alpine will resurrect from the day, as it became popular with it high specification and WM2003SE to present WM5 or WM6
Go Alpine...
Think it over,HTC shows no mercy to us who baught 699,Then we shall **** it up!
Why don't you do it

If it's that easy, why don't you do it???: And don't be upset...
how can you say its not possible to upgrade 2020i to WM6. The device is fantastic and i compare it with 9100 and is best. And in 9100 its possible. i dont understand.
There is not WM5 on Alpine, how can be WM6 on it ? Yes it is capable of running it but also capable are Himalaya and Blueangel and Magician but there is not WM6 for them
I Disagree

Sorry to disappoint you, but there is WM6 for Blueangel, not official but I have it working on mine.
there is also one for himalaya
makes more sense too that wm6 comes for devices which
already had wm5
being that wm5 and wm6 both are based on win CE5
so many drivers could be compatible
unlike manyy win CE4 drivers (what 2003 is based on)
Hi all,
I have O2 exec WM5 and tomtom 6 on it. It run very well.
However, AFter upgrade to WM6 , Tomtom 6 will not work on my O2 exec sue to not compatible.
Any advice to make it work, or i have to downgrade to WM5
I have make all backup before upgrade to WM6.
In addiiton, If i wanna downgrade in order to using Tomtom 6, What should i Do? Just run the back up or do i have to run upgrade ( with WM5) agian to downgrade it.
What is the risk for doing that?
Thanks

To be honest, I'm not sure what you are talking about. For starters there's no problem with TomTom 6 on WM6, it works fine, and even if there were a problem you could only take your Exec back to WM5, as there is no WM2003 ROM for the Exec.
If you are having problems installing TomTom 6, then a bit more info as to what the symptoms of the problem are would be helpful to diagnose the fault, and come up with a solution.
Cheers,
Steve.

Thanks for your reply.
After i install tomtom 6 ( it's second time), it is not compatible for this device.
Thanks
TT3, TT5 & TT6 work fine on my WM6 exec... Are you dure you have the right version? The Smartphone one is NOT the one you want. You want the PDA version.
