5.0 for Smartphones. The Startrek has successfully been upgraded to Windows Mobile 6/6.1 and 6.5 using various non-stock ROMs - however the 6.5 ROMs available are a varying mixture of Chinese and English languages. It has also been overclocked to a stable maximum of 263 MHz without system problems on certain ROMs (most will support 252 MHz overclock).
There are numerous reports across the internet that the external display on this device will stop functioning with no apparent physical damage. HTC and Cingular will not acknowledge the problem, leaving customers stuck with a defective phone or a repair bill costing more than the purchase price.
