HTC Discussion Forum

I had a conversation with AT&T this afternoon and they seem to be telling me that at some point, they WILL in fact, make Win 6.5 mobile available to those of us using 6.1. However, my heart goes out to denco7 because he was nice enough to provide me with the following recommendations:

"I personally think that NATF ( not a treo fan ) cooks the best middle of the road cooked 6.5 roms. They are stable and easy to have virtually no bugs. Energy roms seem to be the most popular , but are more " pushing the limits " trying to make a unique rom. TPC ( two pump chump ) and josskoss are the best, for cutting edge, push the limits, impress the hell out of your friends and make them drool, roms. They are a little buggy but that is because they push the envelope
They both fix the bugs and amke the roms great but they are works in progress.

When I run 6.5, it is always a TPC rom. But it sounds like a NATF rom would suit your needs.

I chose the last link which is the TPC version and I couldn't be happier.

PS - I spoke with AT&T about possibly even upgrading my phone to a Tilt2 since it comes with 6.5 and has a sliding keyboard (like my Fuze). However, when they told me my upgrade price, I basically threw away any desire to change phones. For what AT&T is charging, it's not an upgrade, it's a d@mn new phone!! Who has $349 to just throw into a new phone? Not in this economy and certainly not just for 6.5!! So I'll keep my Fuze and use TPC's awesome ROM. It was like getting a brand new Win 6.5 phone anyway :)

"In my situation, I have 5 phones on a business plan and three don't currently have data plans. We use Outlook for personal and business scheduling and our main office and project sites all have WiFi, so the PDA functions are more important than 3G capabilities. My big complaint is that AT&T will require a data plan even if you don't want (or need) one. That will increase my cell phone bill by $100 per month - not a big deal, but for me not needed overhead. My three staffers will probably keep their current Tilts and not get an upgrade until the A-List is available for business. That will save the $100/ month that AT&T is ripping from their new program.
"

BTW - After I posted my "I hate AT&T" diatribe last night, I spent two hours looking at T-Mobile, Sprint, Verizon - they all suck! They all have their own subtle ways to hoodwink the comsumer. You just have to take a hard look at their deceptive advertising and pick the "least worst" !

If I treated my clients like the cell phone carriers treat their customers - I would be out of business !

SORRY TO CLOG UP THE BOARD WITH MY VENOM TOWARD CARRIERS.
