Hey guys here's the link to Windows Mobile 6 for cell phones. I know it's not car related but I'm sure some of you will appreciate it. I have been told that it can upgrade any Windows Mobile phone, not just the dash.

WELL TOO BAD it looks like the links are dynamic and can't be access directly. I could upload the upgrade file to the ISERVE for niccoclub but I don't have an account. Admins, if you want it, activate my account for iserve and I'll put it there. I need 50MB storage space.

Correct. You need the official release from the specific handset manufacturer to be sure that what you get will work properly - the code is sually changed to add the extras needed for your phone (like drivers for certain chips, etc.).

Don't just try to update a phone, else you may end up with something that does not work at all and requires a trip to the store to get them to replace the firmware properly.

I forgot to reply to this so long ago. I just wanted to let you know -- you're wrong. I've upgraded several phones, first from 5.0 to 6.0, then to 6.1, and now to 6.5. I've never had a problem with it; not once. The only problem I have is that now my phone does SO MUCH MORE than it did from the factory! So much so that I don't know what to do first!
