"I have a huge list of all of the tweaks that have been done to the operating system but I'll save that for next week. Also, if you're wondering, you can expect Windows Mobile 6 devices in the marketplace worldwide by second quarter 2007." More here (screenshots). Betas of WinMob6 also had integrated VoIP support via SIP in them, but it doesn't seem that this was announced along the other features.

There are no major OS upgrades for smartphones like it is for PCs. Nokia doesn't do that either (you can't go from S60 3.0 to 3.1 for example). Yes, there are smaller upgrades (e.g. from 3.0 to 3.03), usually that's the exact same general version as the original firmware, but with some bug fixes.
However, usually except HTC, branding companies don't offer full firmware upgrades. Only HTC does that, usually in an unofficial fashion (for example, if you have a Wizard-based PocketPC phone, there are leaked upgrades that you can install, but of course you will lose all the branding and support if you do so).

I have read so many comments with people who would be willing to pay for an update for their devices. It is such a waste of a perfectly good device (and money) to buy a new one.
I understand that is their plan, to get us to buy a new device, but crossbow isn't THAT compelling.
Anyway, when a final release gets leaked I might think of installing it, there are only some pre-releases atm for my device that I wouldn't bother with, just a bit too dodgy...

I want to know about any new power saving stuff and official updates for my device. I have heard about an unofficial flash for my device but I would much prefer a legit one.
