E-Ten leads the pack for WM6 updates

John Chan | May 14, 2007

Users of the E-Ten X500 and M700 handhelds rejoice--the Windows Mobile 6 (WM6) upgrade for these two devices is available.

Soon after the Taiwanese company announced its plans to provide WM6 free for current users, the upgrade is now available on the glofiish Web site. It requires registered users to obtain an "Action Key" via email, which users can request through E-Ten's support page. From there, the update can be downloaded by inputting the provided access code and the device's IMEI number.

This makes E-Ten the first company to roll out its WM6 update. O2 could have been the first but a delay in its approval process with Microsoft has postponed its upgrade for the Atom Life.

Nice and dandy E-Ten makes the headlines with the upgrade possibility (for my m700) BUT the message you get after entering a kazillion digits is: 'The upgrade is not available yet, but, we are working on it' (or something to this extent. Shame on E-Ten and actually also Cnet for not doing a simple fact check.

At least you get to upgrade. Be thankful you don't own an HP IPAQ (rw6828) like myself. I won't be able to use WM6 because HP in their infinite wisdom and ultimate respect for customers, have decided to not offer an upgrade unlike most of their competitors.
