Officially no, HTC and AT&T are not offering WM 6 or 6.1 for the 8125. There may be a cooked ROM out there you can use but use caution as these can damage your device.
Do you find this valuable?

HTC was offering the WM6 upgrade. However it was only for a short time. It is no longer available on the site for download. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

Hello Anon.

If you are seriously in need of a WM6.1 upgrade for your 8125. All is not lost. It boils down to how seriously you want it. There are a number of different ROMs setup by enthusiast to accomplish that goal. You personally will have to perform a few tasks first.

I would suggest first register a character into the HTC wiki system, it will help others answer questions by cutting down on repeated useless posts.

Next I would suggest, know your hardware. With a SIM installed Turn it off (Hold the button for a few seconds so it says it is powering off), then back on again. It will have a blue startup screen with some basic hardware information (like your PC booting and showing the bios, ram, etc.) which will be absolutely invaluable looking for a "kitchen ROM" upgrade to WM6.1.
IPL 2.25.0001
SPL 2.25.0001
GSM 02.25.11
OS 2.25.11.1

These numbers identify my Cingular 8125 "Wizard" as a G4 type. Notice the IPL/SPl numbers. The ".0001" says a G4, ".001" would be a G3. The difference dictates a severe problem as in making your device useless if you follow the wrong proceedure, IE using G3 proceedure on a G4 or visaversa.

Take a look at the following to get a general idea.
