Default Upgrading from Windows Mobile 5 to 6 on Q.?

Hey everyone.

New to the posting and forum scene here. I own a Q for verizon and was wondering if I am able to upgrade from windows mobile 5 to 6? If it's possible how would I go about doing such a thing? Thank you all for your time. Appreciate it. Kyle-

I guess windows is unfriendly as usual. Thats too bad because I believe their is a big enough audience for microsoft to allow it. Thanks again.

Yeah, there is, I would do it if possible....as long as it's not so much that it would be cheaper to upgrade the phone itself, lol.

thats the big debate in the "upgrade my Q" theads. Is it worth the carriers time and effort to offer the upgrade or just have you get a nw Q+contract. Math is pretty simple IMHO

You need to have a treo or blackjack in order to be important enough to get the wm6 upgrade

Camera or Multimedia

I just got my replacement Q today from insurance. Mine was a little damaged and made a louder than normal whining noise when the backlight was on.

Anyway, I went to partner it with my computer via bluetooth when I was prompted the name of the new Q... WINDOWSMOBILE6

However it looks just like my old one and when I went into settings it reads "Microsoft Windows Mobile Version 5.0"

What the hell... are they just messing with me? I can see a guy at the factory just laughing his a** off!
