Drop that Tilt: HTC releases WM6 upgrade for AT&T 8525
Posted by Paul Martin in "HARDWARE" @ 07:42 PM
"So if you don't really need that extra megapixel and auto-focus on the camera, and you're doing just fine with your Bluetooth GPS receiver, HTC has just given you one less reason to upgrade to the AT&T Tilt by finally posting an official Windows Mobile 6 update for the 8525 / Hermes. From tomorrow through February of next year, 8525 owners can download their first non-cooked version of Redmond's latest mobile OS, giving them some much-needed conveniences like simplified tethering -- and a much-needed refresh for an operating system that's grown a little long in the tooth. So, plug in your Hermes and go nuts; just remember to backup all your info and applications, because they'll be gone daddy gone in less than five minutes."
For those waiting for an official update for the AT&T 8525, here it is, weighing in at 56.9 MB. One tip from the Engadget post comments: if after the upgrade you can no longer make or receive calls, remove the battery and SIM card from the phone, and put them back in. The upgrade will only be available through next February though, so get it now.
