Windows Mobile 6.1 on Pantech duo

FYI, according to one of Microsoft's press releases today, AT&T announced an update to Windows Mobile 6.1 for the Pantech duo. Hopefully we'll see it in the next month or so.

Can any AT&T mods confirm that WM6.1 will even come out on the C810?  Smiley Tongue At this rate it doesn't even seem like it's going to happen. I just can't believe it's been a month and a half now and yet there's no update for the software on the Pantech site and no word from AT&T.

Better believe it.  Just to give you some historical precedent: WM6 for the Samsung Blackjack was announced in March 2007 but was not officially released until January 2008.  WM6 for the 8525 was also announced in March 2007 but was only officially released in October 2007.  So based on their previous performance, it would be a miracle if AT&T/Pantech released WM6.1 within the next 3-4 months.  I am betting it will be officially released in September...

I also agree with snake92646, but I disagree with his timeframe. I'd say 3 to 4 months AFTER they release whatever the follow up to Duo is (Duo 2?). I'm not optimistic about official carrier rom releases at all.

If it worked like that last time I flashed, then no. The AT&T bloatware is *not* removed. It all gets put back in.

No, that is not the update we have been waiting for, that is just an update to the duo, we are waiting for the windows mobile 6.1 update for the duo.

Unfortunately, it may be October before the 6.1 update is released for the Pantech duo.
