Read your link, no where on it does it say the Palm Treo Pro CDMA will get 6.5 anytime soon. That article is varie vague and says some devices by HTC etc. Even if they DO release it, it would be an old copy of 6.5 and be loaded with bloatware.

I might be wrong, but it sounds to me like some people are under the impression that when MS releases 6.5 we can all go to a website and download it and install it ourselves, just like the iPhone. Which, of course, is not the case at all. As Cfay knows all too well MS mobile operating systems must be built and customized for each individual handset model. Generally speaking a handset manufacturer would have to devote developement resources (programmers) to customizing the OS for each handset.

Of course companies generally invest time and money into projects that generate revenue (otherwise nobody would buy their stock and they would go out of business). So in order for Palm/HTC to invest those resources on the Treo Pro, there has to be a better reason than the warm fuzzy feeling they might get by making current owners interested in the update happy. (not that warm fuzzy can't make a company money, but lets face it.. their not going to lose much business from Treo Pro owners who feel jilted they didn't update it).

If Palm/HTC is interested in continuing to produce the Treo Pro after 6.5 is released, they may indeed spend the resources to update it, knowing that a 6.1 OS phone sitting on the shelf next to a 6.5 OS phone will not sell as briskly as they would like. But the fact is that Palm is releasing a new phone with the same form factor as the Treo Pro with their own Web OS, making it somewhat likely they will discontinue the Treo Pro.

Therefore we must rely on the good graces of enthusiasts like Cfay and Cmonex. They have donated their time and knowlege to produce an update for the Treo Pro community. People with the skills to produce these updates could spend their free time making money, going on vacation... etc. But these folks are doing this simply for the thanks they get from us.

Thanks for all you hard work and effort Cfay and Cmonex!

Question for you cfay... How much memory do you think will be saved (in the RAM, or even disk space) by removing the bloatware when the new rom comes out? Also, does anyone know of a way to use hard disk space as RAM (like virtual memory in windows?). My phone seems crippled and I always have to close EVERYTHING and/or restart my phone to open skyfire with anything else.

My WM 6.1 rom that I built, has about 45-50% memory on boot and WM6.5 has about 55-66% memory on boot.

wow. the most I ever have is 78-79% on a fresh boot, before anything is even opened.

Same here and I just don't see why...

Even on my old Vogue which has less of everything (ram,mem,processer) it comes in at about 55% on the stock ROM fresh boot. Running a good version of 6.5 on my Vogue produces 30% usage fresh boot...

I do know that a custom ROM will bring the TreoPro up to where it belongs in terms of performance and its well deserved because this device is really a overlooked gem!!

Can you post it somewhere else?

Can someone PLEASE post this somewhere where it can be downloaded? Rapidshare does not work unless you pay for it. It's been non-working for over a month.
