A member of xda-developers claimed that he got an official Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM for Xperia X1 which is said to be the fastest ROM ever for Xperia. The ROM date is August 2009 and the guy is now working on the cooked version of the ROM. However according to the info, there’s no new X1 stuff in the ROM, and no new panels but the ROM will have some elements from X2.
Here is quote from the xda-developers,
I GOT A REAL OFFICIAL 6.5 XPERIA ROM, YES, YOU READ CORRECT…OFFICIAL
The Build in the rom is a older 6.5..but what is important is:
-New XIP (real x1 nk)
-New OEM DRIVERS etc
-Some drivers from x2
-New netcf 3.7 (final)
I’m sure the cooked version will be available soon but not for the official one. I guess Sony Ericsson will have to wait for sometimes after the release of the Xperia X2 in October to let the X1 users to upgrade their device. But at least this is a good news for X1 users as well as the confirmed devices that will get a free and official Windows Mobile 6.5 update such as the HTC Touch Diamond2, Touch Pro2, and Snap, plus the Samsung Omnia II and Omnia II Pro B7610.

Good information. Today I just got a Samsung Omnia SCH-i910 from the mail from ebay, and it currently would seem that it’s at stock settings for your Verizon Network. I program to use this telephone on Metro PCS. I also wish to put Windows Mobile 6.5 on here, but I’m not sure which purchase I really should do this in. Really should I bring it to Metro PCS as is and have it activated, and then afterwards flash the ROM with 6.five? Or really should I modify the ROM very first after which it acquire it to Metro PCS? I’ve been browsing all around and I’m unable to locate the response to this.
