Homebrewed Windows Mobile 6 on HTC Hermes!
Are you the proud owner of an Cingular / AT&T 8525 or other variant of the HTC Hermes WM5 handset? If so, you will be glad to know that some regular users/experts on that particular device have managed to get the newer Windows Mobile 6 OS onboard for that oh-so-good-upgrade feeling we all know and love. The residents over at xda-developers have posted a near-final WM6 ROM for that sweet Hermes from a recent carrier leak, with these niceties: an anti-CID / SIM lock was hacked, a custom installer was made and even a few apps were pre-installed on the WM6 ROM that may be begging to live inside that Hermes you have in your hand or pocket. Get it quick, though, as rumor has it xda-developers will be pulling all ROM images down, like, this week.[Thanks, Aaron]

Yup, passed the WM6 ROM this morning on Mininova.
God bless torrents. Not that I'm advocating obtaining a pre-release from a torrent, mind you ;)

Yeah, I wouldn't worry about hurrying, xda-developers may not be hosting ROM's any more, but I'm sure they'll they'll ever stop cooking up new ones, and providing the info on where you can get hold of them.
There are plenty of links around for the two versions of the Hermes Crossbow ROM's (one with extra apps, one without).
