Drop that Tilt: HTC releases WM6 upgrade for AT&T 8525

by Evan Blass, posted Oct 31st 2007 at 8:44AM

So if you don't really need that extra megapixel and auto-focus on the camera, and you're doing just fine with your Bluetooth GPS receiver, HTC has just given you one less reason to upgrade to the AT&T Tilt by finally posting an official Windows Mobile 6 update for the 8525 / Hermes. From ~~today~~ tomorrow through February of next year, 8525 owners can download their first non-cooked version of Redmond's latest mobile OS, giving them some much-needed conveniences like simplified tethering -- and a much-needed refresh for an operating system that's grown a little long in the tooth. So, plug in your Hermes and go nuts; just remember to backup all your info and applications, because they'll be gone daddy gone in less than five minutes.

[Thanks, Bruce C. and mike]

Confused...? The link takes you to the HTC site that has a WM5 update that was posted long ago.

It's about damn time. This official ROM has a newer ROM version and Radio version from the leaked ROM that has been out for some time.

Did the ugrade from here: http://www.america.htc.com/support/8525/software-downloads.html
Everything went great, but now the phone can't make or receive calls! I have 5 bars, Internet functions all work. No other problems of any kind. I enter a phone number. The screen says "dialing". Nothing happens. Then 10 seconds later I hear three beeps. That's it. Incoming callers get a fast busy.
Anyone, else run into this problem

Some more info: I called ATT who had me remove the battery and SIM card from the phone, and put them back in. That fixed the problem. Live and learn.

I'd love to hear from anyone who's actually installed this. The last official update seemed to get fairly poor reviews. How does this stack up compared to the hype?
