HP Rumor of the Day: hw6515 WM5 Support + hw6715 Release Schedule
Posted by Ekkie Tepsupornchai in "HARDWARE" @ 03:00 PM
Some of you may recall a couple of HP rumor threads several days ago. The first post discussed an HP recall of the hw6515 and its lack of Windows Mobile 5 support and the 2nd post rebutted the recall. Both posts were based on external tips. Well, I just spoke with my contact with HP who told me that the hw6515 is set to be released at the beginning of October and it will NEVER support Windows Mobile 5... ever. As some of our own readers noted, the ROM limitations of the hw6515 were the constraining factor for WM5 support.
On the other hand, the hw6715 WILL ship with WM5, but instead of shipping at the beginning of next year, I'm now told that the release date has been broadened to "sometime 1st quarter of next year" which means we may not see the device until February or March.
