I can not locate a site for uprade. HTC no longer hosting. Most sites have 6.1 which does appear compatible with the Cingular HTC 8525.

jaamra 8525 speaker (speaker-phone) not working (page: 1 2) 23 Aug 12 2009, 9:23 PM EDT by King591
Thread started: May 3 2007, 3:35 PM EDT  Watch
I bought the new 8525 brand new off eBay, worked great for about 1 1/2 month and then all of a sudden its speaker went dead. The speaker at the back is not working, no sound from it for incomming calls, speaker phone is not working. The small speker at the front for phone does work for phone purpose, also the earphone is working but no sound from the back speaker. First I thought that it may be some software issue so I soft-reset it, but it didn't start working, I even did a hard-reset but that too didn't help. Since I bought off eBay and I'm not a Cingular subscriber, it has become so hard to get it repaired/replaced under warranty. Today I mailed it to HTC/Cingular repair center in Houston and I'm hopping that they will be able to fix it without costing much. I loved this phone till now but now I'm re-thinking about it stability. And why not I bought it for $400.00 and it didn't even worked for 1-2 years. Has any one faced with such problem?
