Windows Mobile 6.0 ROM cooked and ready for PPC-6700 and XV6700 users
Posted by Will on Friday, August 31st, 2007 at 4:57 pm under Verizon, Sprint, HTC, Windows Mobile, Applications, Announcements
If you and your Sprint PPC-6700 or Verizon XV6700 (HTC Apache) have been feeling a little left out in the cold while all those other handsets get that sought-after Windows Mobile 6.0 Professional upgrade, buck up little buddy! ppcgeeks forum user Helmi_c has finally finished cooking his own WM6 ROM for said handsets.
Helmi_c will be dropping the WinMo6.0 bomb on us tomorrow - and will be providing carrier-branded ROMs for your convenience. Props and kudos to Helmi_c!
We love it when the little guy takes matter into his own hands and fills a need that manufacturers and carriers have woefully neglected to address. Especially when it means a brand new OS for WinMo fans.
Read on for more pics of the Windows Mobile 6.0 Professional ROM in action.

This worked out great for me. Just be sure to save your contacts with a 3rd party program you can reinstall on the new upgrade, or you will lose all your contacts. I had a coworker with the same phone who took my old pim, and beamed each contact over. Saved me. Other then that, great job! love it even more…

I believe I have the link to the latest version of this. It also explains how to use it, but I haven't done it myself, so you are on your own.

I have the Apache PPC 6700 with the new WM6. My phone has been flashed to Cricket wireless. I cannot do picture mail or connect to Cricket WAP. I have these features enable via cricket so I'm at a loss. I'm told these features should work. Going to PPCGeeks.com and Howard's Forum does not resolve my issues even though others claim the features work for them. I'm am not happy….

This ROM does work for the 6700. Runs a bit slower but not that noticeable. Its nice.

You can get your 6700 running on the WM6.1 by following the steps found here http://dotdoh.com/?p=5 . Just have to use the correct ROM
