Starting in April (the clock is ticking HTC) the updates will begin rolling out on HTC's European site for your downloading pleasure. The list includes the HTC Advantage, HTC TyTn, HTC S620, HTC P3300, and the HTC 4350. All of you folks rolling with carrier-branded handsets will have to wait until June, and to make it a bit more unbearable, no operators or devices are specifically mentioned. HTC's rationale in choosing these handsets over others in their portfolio -- in case you are screaming "why not me?" -- is that devices with a focus on messaging will most benefit from the upgrade. Maybe it's just us, but aren't all of HTC's handsets focused on messaging? We will be bringing you a blow by blow as these things land, so if you see one posted and we haven't mentioned it, drop us a line."</i><br /><br /> <img src="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/paxton-20070419-roundup.jpg" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/> <br /><br />I can't wait for this. I wish T-Mobile was getting the Windows Mobile 6 upgrade in April like HTC's European site but at least it's being released somewhere. It's becoming more real all the time. I can't wait to put WM 6 on my Dash. Tick, tick, tick, it's like watching water boil. It's not that long but it sure feels like it. :lol:

Yea, I didn't say that quite right did I? :oops: I think I meant waiting for water to boil. Oh, you know what I mean :P

Well I just ate a peppered turkey and cheese sandwich, some cheddar Sun chips, an apple, and a Snapple. All this during Gilligan's Island and you know what? - WM6 isn't here yet! What am I doing wrong? :)

Were you watching the old black and white Gilligan's Island? I'm pretty sure the old black and white episodes will make you wait longer ;)

All this food talk is making me hungry!

Think about it this way, WinMo6 devices are hitting the streets quicker than WinMo5 devices did. WinMo5 was officially annouced when it was shipped, while WinMo6 wasn't announced until a number of months after when ODMs already have it on devices and are getting ready to release them. So it's better than before - if that helps. :?
