Upgrade HTC P3300 with Windows Mobile 6

As I blogged before I'm very happy with my HTC P3300 mobile phone/pda...

During the weekend I upgraded my phone from Windows Mobile 5 to Windows Mobile 6.

There are not that many changes, it's more like a WM5 Second Edition. Nevertheless I think this upgrade is definitely worth! I really needed this upgrade as WEP security for Wifi is from WM6 onwards available out-of-the-box. So now I can connect to my wireless Lan at home and be even more online ;-)

Other features why I believe this upgrade is useful:
  • It looks to me the interface is faster and more slick
  • Better Outlook with support for html mails
  • New tunes / sound themes which can be attached to events
  • Improved security
Some articles of WM6 I found useful: here and here.

    Hmm, it worked for me?

    Are you registered on the HTC site? If not, that's required before you get the update.

    Hope that helps,
    Dimitri

    I am registered on HTC e-Club and there is no ROM upgrades at the HTC site.
    If anybody knows how I can get it, please post it here.

    I've got the sane problem. At this moment http://member.htc.com/member/login.aspx isn't available at all...

    When logged in into HTC e-club, it's in the my downloads, phone software updates section. A direct link: http://member.htc.com/member/RomDetail.aspx?cat=10

    I had the same problem for a long time. After reading here that there is a download available, I realized the catch: It is not enough to register on the site, you MUST also register your HTC by inserting the S/N, otherwise the phone software update for the P3300 does not appear. Thanks for discussing this here, you were the inspiration to resolve this long awaited issue. Alex

    This is only a part of a problem.
    I registered fully, but site offers me to download windows mobile Russian version!!! I need English, but the only version is Russian. Very stupid service.

    Dmitriy,

    Almost the same name ;-)

    I guess it depends your regional or browser settings. Try to change that and see if that gives you the English version.

    Hope that helps,
    Dimitri

    This site has a step by step guide to update the HTC P3300 with the official WM6 ROM.

    It also has some tweaks suck as disabling the application lock and enabling the VoIP features.
