Dopod to follow HTC; Announces Windows Mobile 6 upgrade strategy

Following HTC’s commitment to provide Windows Mobile 6 upgrades for some of their smartphones, Dopod International announced its Windows Mobile 6 upgrade roadmap. Not all devices will be upgradeable. For instance, contrary to HTC, Dopod is not planning a Windows Mobile 6 upgrade for the C720W (HTC Excalibur, aka T-Mobile (NYSE: DT) Dash).

Dopod will allow users of the 838Pro (HTC Hermes), P800W (HTC Artemis), U1000 (HTC Athena/Advantage), and D810 (HTC Trinity) to upgrade their devices to the latest version of Windows Mobile OS. Interesting enough, the last mentioned (Dopod D810/HTC Trinity) was not on the HTC’s upgrade roadmap — leaving some hope for Trinity users to get their updates as well. (via: unwired)
