Last week I upgraded my windows mobile phone from WM 5.0 to the new (mmm not that new) WM 6.0. I have been searching for the upgrade for quite a long time now. HTC announced free upgrade to all its customers’ couple of months back. But I bought my HTC TyTyn through T mobile (renamed as T-mobile Vario II), so I cannot use the HTC upgrade. I called up the T mobile customer centre couple of time, but they gave all weird answer, once I was told that I have upgrade the phone to get the software upgrade. Then I found out it’s not worth wasting time on educating them about WM, and went to T mobile high street shops, they also had no clue. Finally I managed to find it online in T mobile website.

I couldn’t find my difference between windows mobile 5 and 6, except that they included the must have feature of adding a dialled number (or received phone number) to an existing contact. I still cannot receive contacts sent from Nokia or other phones unless they are outlook contacts L. That’s another must have feature isn’t it, not everyone has WM, and the features should be compatible isn’t it? Hope they will give some option in the next version.

The free upgrade to WM 6.0 for all T-mobile Windows mobile phones can be downloaded from here. You have to give your handset serial number, which can be found if you remove your battery.
