HTC TyTn II - Windows Mobile 6.1
Over the Bank Holiday Weekend I upgraded my TyTn 2 with the HTC released Windows Mobile 6.1 build.
I upgraded the device on my Vista laptop and it all was done in about 10-15 minutes.
Of course I've been using Windows Mobile 6.1 for a long time now but this is the first publicly available build.
One thing I have noticed is that the battery life on my TyTn 2 seems to be considerably improved. I'll have to see what my experience is like through the week.
If you have a HTC TyTn 2 then head on over to the E-Club to register your device and Download the Windows Mobile 6.1 build!
Have you upgraded your device yet? What is your experience so far?

I tried but the download isn't available to me. Maybe they only released it for certain serial numbers.Anonymous

Whats the betting that Vodafone will do the usual trick of failing to release this to customers. Any chance of MS ever allowing upgades to be made available via select or open licenses?Anonymous

One issue I see so far, it appears that the "call list" filter is not holding the setting. i.e. If you change your call filter to only display "out bound" calls ... it will save that but.. an attempt to change that to any other settings thus after will not save it as your permanent choiceAnonymous

It is good to see 6.1 supporting the automatic configuration of email based on Exchange 2007 autodiscover functionality. As others have commented, Microsoft really need to come up with a way of getting these sorts of updates to customers without relying on the carriers. It just isn't in the interest of the carriers to invest the time required to make the update available. There is no money in it for them.Anonymous

A word of warning - I downloaded the update from the HTC site and upgraded my device and it's now trashed! I get the green Windows Mobile 6.1 splash screen come up and a message 'The device is clearing the storage. Please wait'. This message disappears after a few minutes but the operating system never loads - it remains on the green splash screen. Soft and hard resets had no affect so I contacted HTC. They advised that I'll have to send it to their repair centre which will take 2 weeks - not a happy bunny :-(Anonymous

Hello again, You can get the latest ROMs from here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_ROMs The version I am using is: 3.28.405.0 (Radio 1.65.16.25) original HTC WWE (World Wide English) It seems to be working fine so far. But before you try and use any of these you HAVE GOT to CID Unlock your phone. This is NOT the same as SIM unlock. (For SIM unlock read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=361039&page=74) Read this on how to CID Unlock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=354061&page=42 Also read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=329170&page=36 Also search the rest of the forum if you need help. PLEASE NOTE: I AM NOT RESPONIBLE FOR ANY OF YOUR ACTIONS. IN OTHER WORDS "IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE DON'T COME RUNNING TO ME!!!!!!" Hope this helps and let me know how you get on.
