Rubbish!! I would rather you delay posting this than to have every handheld's status at 'TBC'. It's obviously NOT helpful. I understand you may not have the information available, but posting this seems like you want to 'be the first' to announce availability, and yet any person who come to the site, goes back 'empty handed'.
And by the way, what's 'TBC'? You should not assume everybody understand your abbreviations, some may interpret it VERY differently.

Woah easy there hitman!
I think perhaps what CNET was trying to get at is to basically show which models they know will definitely get a WM6.1 upgrade - though they're just not too sure when that'll come... so assuming u own a model that doesn't show up in this list, i suppose u'll know that u won't be getting an upgrade at all...

I'm okay, just that I feel the information is useless at this stage, so might as well not put it up.

It will help those who want to buy new, or upgrade their current handhelds.
Knowing which models will get an upgrade will help a lot when deciding on which models to buy.

Months before, the developer group has R&D firmware prototype upgrade of WM6.1 to reprogramme PDA of different models.I have O2 Zinc first edition and upgraded WM6.1 long before the offical launch. However,the program apparently takes up much of memory footprint.The site forum.xda-developers.com proves the group in research.
I have tried WM5 and WM6.1 and concluded the latter interface to be more graphical.As CNET predicts the outcome and arrival, I would deem as their views being indifferent towards the extreme in conclusion for the best or worst.The utmost opinion is in the rights of the user.I realized that when I had the experience of iphone last year in being firmware upgraded and unlocked.
Zinc 2 and Atom have been promoted for marketing and commercial reasons with stability.However, the lack of instantaneous support can cause frustration and switch for other product models resulting in consequential death before rectification of the problem.I ever approached MWG office and they do points they do not have a service centre.They emphasies their engineer do not deals direct with the client and they only have collection centre in Funan Singapore.The lead time takes a week to resolve.That is the reason I resolve to reprogram the phone numerous times to research and resolve.
Most of my vendors points Dopods as being the least to "Hung" under normal operative conditions.The choice is yours to make.And the advise is to make ample research before you jumps to buy.

hi there!
regarding your concern about upgrading your q9h to wm 6.1... its a bad idea. i previously had the q9h unlocked version and upgraded it to wm 6.1... i lost most of the phone's functionality, most especially the hsdpa and other online connectivity so i'd best suggest that you wait for motorola itself to release an unlocked upgrade to q9h. my upgrade by the way was the one at&t released... messed up my phone bad, no way to roll back to wm6, had at&t logos everywhere in the phone too which, i have to say, isnt very visually appealing. hope this post helps and good luck with your upgrade hunt!

2009 is just around the corner and still Samsung (or Microsoft?) still hasn't released a 6.1 update... Whoever' in charge of releasing the update should post it soon, otherwise, Samsung or Microsoft will probably lose some customers... Personally, I've owned a bunch of WM phones, was never able to upgrade them unless I do so using other teleco upgrades (eg AT&T). But after what happened to my Q9h, I think I'll just wait... Paging Samsung and Microsoft!!! You have consumers waiting!!!

i-mate has released the WM 6.1 for the 2 Ultimate handsets: 8502 and 9502. And they've launched a new one touch icon-based user interface with it: i-mate Go.

In follow up to mikhaile's post, i agree:
My Q9h was reaching the end of her tether, and I had the intention to replace her soon, so i didn't mind playing around a little. I flashed my phone to run WM6.1 with the help of some of the forum guys, and it didn't work too well - reception deteriorated significantly with WM6.1, and even the threaded sms'ing had some issues, so basic functions were obviously hindered.
I suspect that's why Motorola is taking so bleeding long to release an update, coz they've got so many kinks to iron out. Either that or they're too busy trying to keep the company afloat to worry about existing customers like you, nor an ex-customer like me. I'm never buying another Motorola phone again - Q9h, u were an awesome phone when i got you 1.5yrs ago, but Motorola decided to forget about u and us.

Is it that bad? Resale value is not dependent on the Mobile platform but the phone brand and functions isn't it?
