Does anyone have an idea when Bell / HTC will be releasing their official WM 6.1 rom for the Bell PPC 6800. It seems Bell is the last to the party, is this typical with Bell Mobility?

Bell is always last. They are too slow.
Look at Telus. They have already accounced the HTC Touch Pro, and are already selling the Diamond.
Call Bell and ask them when these will be available. Nobody has a clue.
Too bad i'm stuck with them for anther 2 years.
SO yea...Bell needs to do some serious restructering.
I basicly fell the same way... I'm stuck with bell for another 2 years then bye bye. Also there data plans are a kick to the balls. 4mb for 25 dollars
Ahhhh, so I'm not the only one dreading to have signed a contract with Bell too?

no....you can use a sprint touch(6900/vogue) on verizon, but dcd's 3.2.5 is strictly for the titan and will not work on it...
dcd does make roms for the touch, by the way. just go over to the vogue/touch forums or dcd's website

No keyboard?!
I was really interested in buying one of those, especially when I found out they already had roms for it, but no keyboard man?! How can you live without it! =)
I have a Qwest Mogul, and from what I can tell, it's the same model as the verizon mogul. My question is, can I flash it with the newest Verizon rom? Do I need to unlock it or do I just flash with the verizon rom and that's it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You might want to follow the instructions to go back to the Verizon stock ROM in the WiKi, then get it working on the Verizon network then you can put on Custom ROM/Radio ROMs. But before you do that I would call Verizon and make sure they will take that phone's ESN. Some of the carriers won't take other carrier's phones even though they are the same model.
Curious
Just curious to see if there was ever any outcome or more official info lately about whether the Qwest HTC PPC 6800 Mogul can be flashed to Verizon service.
I just picked up one of these for a great deal to replace my current VZW phone as it seems to think it is at the end of it's usable life and I don't want to re-contract for two more years just to get a new phone.
I have been in several forums and googled until the letters wore off my keyboard and I keep running into dead ends on this subject.
Figured I had better resurrect the threads and see if anyone ever got anywhere with this request.

If your motherboard is still good just put that into the Qwest Mogul, and off ya go. That is what I did when my digitizer cracked. I got one like new for $40 swapped the mobos and got a new phone with all of my original info (rom, esn... ect.) 8 baby screws and 2 beers is all it takes.

But again does anyone know if the aristocracy at Verizon will allow another carriers phone on their network?

I just spent 2 weeks last month to find out that VZW's new policy is to ban Qwest ESN's even if they were allready active on their nutwork.
I was grandfathered in with one of my Qwest 6800's, then I switched service to my 6900, and when I tried to go back it took 2 weeks and 3 level 3 techs to end up finding out that $55.oo an a new 2yr. renual (15mo. into old),
and I got a BNIB XV6800.
Now the TP in on sale for $99.99 with a 2yr., but a $70.00 mail in rebate, makes it 1/2 the price I just paid.
Oh well I don't think the TP is as solid as the TITAN...

What are you talking about? It is rather difficult to decipher your post. Bell and Virgin Mobile are smaller cellular companies.
Virgin Mobile is in the UK as a regular service, here they are a prepaid company. Bell is the same situation. All those companies are located in the UK, but it is a offical release coming down to there phones, so Tmobile and ATT users should be getting a update soon as well, maybe as a xmas gift. I am running a Modified ROM 2.2 from here, but would like to have a offical version as there is some minor issues with the second hand rom's.

I don't think the tmo rom will be half as polished and refined as many of the roms here on xda...and by the time we DO get the update we will probably have 2.2.1 via eugene and possibly a 2.3 candidate...also GPS ring a bell?
Custom roms > Tmo roms
Vibrant + Nero + SuperIO Kernel + OCLF

I'm loving this Nero Beta 2 ROM right now.
The Canadian Vibrant is the i9000m. Not the t959.
I have just purchased an atrix non contract on vodafone. And I just wondered what the difference between my atrix and the T-Mobile and orange uk versions.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
The T-mobile don't have 2.3, the orange does. So I guess only software related
Mine is unbranded, so what the he'll would mine be classed as? Lol

You just said you bought it on vodafone ... so its vodafone atrix .

There's a 60+ page thread on the moto forums where Orange users are complaining about the lack of Gingerbread.
Hello, I'm an italian customer (carrier Vodafone) that have an Atrix sim free-retail buy from Expansys, running version.4.4.35.MB860.Retail.en.GB with Froyo 2.2.2. I'm still wait the release of official (????) gingerbread from Motorola, but i'm extremely frustrated by the lag. I read the guides, there are a possibility to unlock with gingerbreak and install a gingerbread-based rom (like kenneth penn's stock) rom? It will work fine in Italy? what radio i have to use? Sorry for the questions, but there are information for At&t, orange uk, but few for UE users.
Yeah im in the same boat as you. Its the 4.4.35.GB version. Nothing to do with vodafone. Im going to try another sim in it as I have got a feeling its unbranded. Because there is no voda boot screen. And I havent read anywhere else about a vodafone upgrade. So is there an unbranded one or are we just left on froyo? Because that makes no sense having all this power and not being able to update without rooting.
don't get me wrong, I love rooting, my desire had to be rooted. But this phone is awesome without having to do that.or at least I thought it was. I totally dislike iphones but at least with there updates its to everyone, everywhere. Not carrier based.
First off, it's great to see so many familiar faces here in the Note section. I am wanting to upgrade from my Telus Desire HD to a Samsung Note. I am on ATT here in the USA, although I prefer non-ATT phones for personal reasons. I prefer rooted unbranded stock ROMs. Are there any advantages or disadvantages between the Telus, Rogers, and Bell versions? If my understanding is correct, the Bell version comes unbranded and sim unlocked? Any advice before I take the plunge?

The Bell version is full of bloatware and sim-locked. I don't think there's any difference between each version of the device exept maybe the bloatwares and the modem.
Thanks for the reply. I have been doing some heavy searching and have been getting mixed results. One person says Bell has no carrier branding and another claims Telus while another claims Rogers. I would like to keep the options available on the Canadian ROM versions. I don't see any rooted unbranded Canadian carrier ROMs on XDA and would like the easiest approach while I get used to Samsung.
DaGr8 is a well know developers on the GNote and he owns the i717R (Rogers). As far as I know, right now he's working on a i717 (AT&T) leak of ics with this device and I also flashed the leak without any trouble. Every LTE Galaxy Note seems to share the same specs, so don't worry about that.
I use my i717R on Fido (Rogers sub-brand) and I didn't had to sim-unlock it even if Fido don't sell this phone. Still, I've been told that the phone is still locked to Rogers network.
Also Rogers and AT&T share nearly the same network technologies since the beginning, yes Rogers just like AT&T were the first to have the iPhone in Canada. That's something to concider.
Hi Agoattamer. I know you from the Inspire\HD threads. I too am making the change to Note. I was simply planning on getting the ATT version just because it was the cheapest way to go. Now your post is making me wonder if I should consider other options. I can't really offer a lot of info to answer your question of which way to go. Just wanted to say hi. (We are both fellow Pennsylvanians, too.)
Rooted is easy, as I am sure you know.
Unbranded, stock ROMs is also not an issue. There are several ROMs already in the Dev thread and more are coming all the time. Most, if not all, seem to be ICS so I hope that is to your liking.
As of now unlocking is going to cost you. Only the paid services option is available, so far. I saw an option that unlocks other Samsung phones but so far I haven't been able to get anyone to try it for me so it is one of the things I plan to do once I get my new Note.
Get the AT&T version
Get the AT&T version I'm trying to get WildChild to this also but he really likrs HTC
Don't want the ATT version.
Actually we are from the same town kimtyson. I don't want to give up my dumbphone unlimited plan. Not sure if we will get LTE here in the next 2 years. And the money I will save by paying $10 a month for trully unlimited internet will overshadow the around $500 price tag.nd won't be stuck in a 2 year contract in case something great does come up. I am guessing I can get any of the three to suit my needs.
Maybe I am blind but I haven't seen any stock unbranded and bloatfree ROMs available. Do they exist?
Ordered a Roger's version. Can't wait to play with it.
