Hi Guys,
should i wait for official WM6.5 or flash using available cooked ROM at XDA?
any idea which is the the best?EnergyROM or ROMEOS? i dont want to flash it many time..

i will still advise to still to the current rom until it is official release by HTC

HTC Europe has released their official WM6.5 .. maybe ours end of this month.. i guess

I downloaded the Europe version lastnight and it runs very well . Compared to my earlier cooked rom Fusion V5.1 , the official rom is more stable and everything works fine especially areas in video calling, GPRS data download ( obviously very much faster than WM6.1), browsing etc. The My Location functions much better and consistent than the cooked rom.

My only complaint is that officially HTC ( or Microsoft ) do not design folders for you in the start menu to organize the programs. You need to scroll down a long list , is not so user friendly. Anyway is small issue, I just create few folders ( if you need graphics with it, just google from forum XDA ) and shift the various programs over. Now is more organized

The rom comes with htc latest radio ver 4.49.25.17 and ROM version is 1.86.4010 (67102) WWE. As it meant for Europe , if yours is a Asian unit you can install only after you perform a HSPL. Anyway restoring back to stock rom is a breeze with the restore program provided by the HSPL guys at forum xda. Download the EXE file about 181 MB ( took me 45 mins) from www.htcpedia.com.The whole install process is very fast - connect your TP2 thro activesync, run the exe file and whole process takes about 10 mins only and now you have a spanking new O/S Windows Mobile 6.5

Now with this official release, I am waiting for the Rom cooks to make a better version of it in the weeks to come

Benny, just checking with you...did you have any issue regarding video call?
my tp2 always got greenish background every time i use video call...
i dun know either hdware or sfware prob but since you upgarde to WM6.5,is there any different performance in TP2?

I seldom do video calls but the time I do it was OK ; infact I never even notice whether there is any greensiish background. Anyway don't expect top quality images for video. The most obvious difference between WM6.5 ( even cooked roms included ) vs WM 6.1 is the performance. Especially if you use data download a lot ( browsing, update programs - eg Tweeter, Spb Traveller, RSS, email download etc, browsing ) you will see the major difference in WM6.5. Only thing I don't like in WM6.5 is the manila based sms - so I always go back use the non-manila version

By the way I have a used set one month old for sale ( selling for friend) : see http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1195512 . UNBELIEVABLE NEW like day one from shop
