(Credit: CNET Networks)Well, it's about gosh-darn time. T-Mobile Dash owners can finally get their hands on some Windows Mobile 6 goodness now that T-Mobile has officially announced the availability of the software upgrade. Starting tomorrow, Dash owners can go to T-Mobile.com and download the WM6 Standard Edition update for free. Among other things, the new OS brings:
- Easier e-mail setup and an e-mail search function
- Support for popular IM clients including AOL, Yahoo, ICQ, and Windows Live Messenger
- Full Microsoft Office Mobile suite (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint) with editing capabilities
- New Calendar ribbon
Woo hoo! Upgrade successful
(Credit: CNET Networks)We got an advanced release of the software update and had no problems downloading or installing it to our Dash (look for our slide show tomorrow). Overall, the process took about 15 minutes, and we were able to synchronize our data, work on Office documents, set up our Yahoo e-mail account on the device, IM, and more. We think it's worth the upgrade, and why not? It's free. Just remember to back up your data from the Dash to your computer before you get started.
