Will Diamond 2 release with WM 6.5 later this month?

The Dude

I know that Windows Mobile 6.5 will release soon this month.   I want to know if HTC will release the Diamond2 with WM 6.5 later this month.

The first batch with the outdated WM 6.1 and the second batch with WM6.5?

Any thoughts in this?

But there is no official info or confirmation on this.

It is possible that Diamond2 will release with Windows Mobile 6.5 later this month but not sure if HTC will have a patch or a firmware upgrade to upgrade the old and outdate crap WM6.1 to WM 6.5

It would be nice if there was a press release info on this.   Hong kong Market normally gets things late so I also wouldn't be surprised if an update to WM6.5  (if available) may only release in late June or early July 2009.   By then better and faster phones with WM 6.5 will be available and possible even the release of new iPhone 3G and Palm Pre.

I can understand why Diamond2 is released now with the outdate WM6.1.  There are alot of guys who are just itching to buy something new so this helps HTC make some quick money while they can.   When WM 6.5 releases many guys will buy the Diamond2 just to try out WM 6.5 and the new interface.   

However, it will be sad if those who bought the Diamond2 with the outdate WM 6.1 will have to wait till June or July just to get an update to WM 6.5.

Microsoft 曾經提及 Diamond2 係會升級到 wm6.5, 不過 HTC 通常都唔會咁快做動作

As of today there is still no release date of Diamond2 (English version).

Is HTC releasing the Diamond2 Chinese Version with the outdated WM6.1 first and will only release Diamond2 English Version with WM6.5?

I hear it's not going on sale until after next week, but you can buy parallel imports if you are desperate for one

I don't want a parallel import version because I won't be able to upgrade to WM 6.5.   Well not officially.  May be with some hacked roms only.

One2Free sales told me that it may be possible that Diamond2 English version will be with WM6.5 only.    The Chinese version they have now is using the outdated WM6.1.
