Title: Orbit xda / win mobile 6
Post by: tigers_gonads on 30 October 2013, 11:30:57
I've dragged both my xda's out of the cupboard and are looking too use them again.
I've been told that win mobile 6's internet protocol is http which will make things easier to set up Gmail calendar for my impending jobs.   :-\ :-\

Is the above update still available to upgrade my xda's from win 5 upto win 6 ?

Had a look on t'interweb and can see plenty for the xda2 / 6.1  but not the original one.

Tia  :)

Years back O2 use to release complete version updates on there own WEB Site, probably gone now but might be worth a search.

Which reminds me, manage to turn my old O2 Exec into a brick, when I upgraded the Win Mobile OS.  >:(

From memory (a few moons back now) seem to remember I had to update the Bios with a patch before the OS Install, or something like that, anyway managed to brick it, from memory I wasn;t the only one.

I've a spare which has a dodgy usb socket so if I do give it a try on that one first.

Thanks for the digging Chris  :)
