From GSMarena here
I bought this phone last year in May 2008. It was already out at the end of 2006. Now, I have no gripes with this phone except that it is now a dinosaur compared to the other newer phones out there. One thing it still beats is the presence of infrared on it. There is nothing much you can do about the hardware on this device (really, there’s none). But software is a whole other question 
Anyway, if you really feel like putting some life into it, I would recommend that you upgrade the ROM (operating system) from Windows Mobile 5 to Windows Mobile 6.5. You can get more information from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=516595 – it contains the latest ROM version (it is the 21725wwe version, updated as of 28th May). Bugs and all can be forwarded to the ‘cook’: slimshadyliran@gmail.com who really has a lot of time on his hands (to which the community of XDA Stealth users are grateful for).
It is easy to upgrade. But remember, you will lose all information from your main ROM (mobile hard disk space).
Simple Tutorial on How to Flash the Thing:
I would encourage you to make a backup of your contacts into your SIM card before proceeding. It will wipe everything out!
- Unrar the package
- Copy gbcall.nb0 to the root folder of your storage card (MiniSD)
- Turn off the phone
- Hold the Green button and Red buttons (‘Call’ and ‘End’) while pressing the power button (to switch the device on)
- Wait for the screen to show ” Search Image” – Found “file name”… etc.
- It will detect the ROM file and after about 10 minutes the phone will reboot
- Copy the net3.5 folder to “storage card\program files\” on your storage card
Hmmm… apparently it supports SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity aka SD 2.0). That means you can bump the storage to above 4GB which was the limit previously. Interesting. Maybe I should have kept my Stealth (if only the receiver was not buzzing!).
These are of course unofficial releases since the original manufacturers are not supporting the device anymore. Trust the developers at XDA-Developers.com to continue on with the upgrading process. If you have any PDA which you think is a bit too old for your liking, just browse at http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=259

Why don’t you use Resco’s excellent Keyboard? It is much better to use that than other input methods (in my opinion).
If you really, really have to use Ezitext, then post that to slimli, at the link provided in my article
All the best!

What is RESCO’S excellent keyboard ? how do i find it ?
By: DARMA on July 9, 2009
at 1:34 pm
You can get it from http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/keyboard/downloads.asp
By: erlern on July 9, 2009
at 1:37 pm
Tks, Resco its still not really fine. Old keyboard its still the best.
But do you have a site to download latest WM 6.5, not a 21275 ??
By: DARMA on July 18, 2009
at 12:29 pm
i mean WM 6.5 for stealth, and how to flashing the MMC then the ROM can be bigger.
By: DARMA on July 18, 2009
at 12:31 pm
Hi, just want to ask a question about my problem after flashing my stealth’s winmo5 to winmo6.5 and successfuly flashed it. But i noticed one thing. Whenever i Turn of my phone, and it ask for my PIN code for my SIM, below the ” Enter your PIN code:” is a White blank screen. But if your going to press on the blank screen, it will still put some asterisk on it. But its realy hard to guess if you can’t see what number your entering, mostly its a PIN for your SIM card. can anyone point me to the right way please..
And in order for me to type in my PIN code, i just use my keypad and guess where the OK button on the screen is..
kindly help me out here please.. Thank you and more power..

and by the way, i can’t access my SIM as well. cant find my sim card icon on windows mobile 6.5.. where can i find the SIM icon so i can import my Contacts that are stored in my sim.. thnx again.. hope to hear from you guys..
By: Macjemzie on August 1, 2009
at 12:23 pm
Hi Macjemzie:
I have no idea concerning the first question on entering PIN for your SIM since I do not have that setting switched on. However, for the second question concerning importing contacts, I would recommend you to use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=487920
Dopod SIM manager. It works for my phone
My Advice is to get SPB Mobile Shell 3.0 on top of your 6.5. It is much more user friendly. Cheers.
By: erlern on August 1, 2009
at 3:58 pm
hmm. someone told me that i should download winmo6.5 patch for SIM and my PIN and also to download the Multitap patch for us Stealth users to use the keypads for testing.. the Only problem is, i really dont know where to find and look for.. i know xda-developers but is there any some compilation for the xda stealth ROMS and patches?
Anyway, thnx erlern for answering my 2nd question. Its a big help since i really can’t import my contacts from sim to phone..
By: Macjemzie on August 1, 2009
at 7:03 pm
btw, im really sorry abou this question, what do you mean by
“My Advice is to get SPB Mobile Shell 3.0 on top of your 6.5. It is much more user friendly.”
do you know where to get the Mobile Shell 3.0? and how am i suppose to put it on top of my 6.5?
thank you..
By: Macjemzie on August 1, 2009
at 7:21 pm
wow, i finaly got it erlern.. the mobile shell 3 is really a nice cool add-on for your 6.5.. I got the chance to see all my cntacts on my SIM card network.. Really great features and very user friendly..
But can i ask if which is the best:
TouchFlo 2d manila or this Mobile Shell 3.0?
Can you give me some link on where can i donwload some touchflo manila 2d for stealth? because i downloaded some few nights ago, but seams like i cant activate it and its always saying ‘Unable to use Touchflo’…
Thnank you for your advance help & more power.

By: Macjemzie on August 1, 2009
at 10:26 pm
Okay, you can download it from the site itself: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=541750 . However, if the main file cannot work (for the 6.5), try downloading the patched one for 6.1, which worked for me.
Remember that you might have to uninstall SPB Mobile Shell because Touch FLO2D is a skin for the WM today screen and wont appear if SPB is your default screen.
Anyway, I have no idea… I think SPB is quite cool to look at, but Touch FLO is certainly very responsive to touch. I like the fact that Touch FLO is quite simplistic yet with some elegance, whereas SPB is quite ‘cold’ at the edges, if you get my drift. Btw, download all the additional programs for Touch FLO from the link I gave if you want it working perfectly. Enjoy!

Btw, i encountered another problem in wm6.5 when calling and whenever im going to use the Speaker Phone it always turns to black blank screen and it doesn’t pump-up the volume on the speaker in other word ‘nothing happens’.. is there any patch again for this particular problem? Thank you again..
By: Macjemzie on August 2, 2009

2nd question: i read it somewhere that they can use the keypads of the stealth for texting?
how did they do it? any ideas erlern? hoping you’ve solve this problem..
Thank you in advance..

Hi, Erlern I tried the upgrade of WM 6.5 on my phone but i lost the wifi manager. It only shows the wifi utility off, and the network cards but the switch for the WiFi on wireless manager was missing. I’m trying to look for any fix. Any idea? thanks.

3rd question: and i notice that my clock is adjusting it self automatically.. for example my time now is 6:30pm later on after a minute or so, i noticed that my clocks time is 10pm and it adjusted its day as well… hmmm.. can seem to see some patches..
kindly help me out here pls..
thnx..
By: Macjemzie on August 2, 2009
at 6:24 pm
solve my problem no. 2. I just installed a Diamond Keypad for me to use it.. and some prog to keymap my keys in keypads.. my problem now is still the speakerphone, and the sim icon to access your SIM card is still missing..
thnx guys.. hoping someone can help me out..
By: Macjemzie on August 2, 2009
at 6:28 pm
Macjemzie: Hmmm…. I have not encountered any problem with the clock display. But then, I am using SPB Mobile Shell. Sorry, but I think I am quite limited in helping you on this coz I’m not using my Stealth as my primary phone anymore. I dropped it once and the sound has a slight ‘buzzing’ noise that gets louder at times. I’m using HTC Dream now
But I tried contacting the cook of the ROM. So far, no reply from him. He is from China I think FYI, so too bad I cannot read the chinese website which he posts the latest ROMS for Stealth.

thank you erlern.. just thought of disposing it already..
now im quite comfortable using my atom life. The OS now is quite stable unlike my experiece with stealth… Maybe its too old, thats why im having a hard time finding the right apps and roms for it.. 
Thank you again for your help..

There is not much risk… if ever there is any problem, you can still revert back to your WM5 by using this update at the official site: http://www.myxda.com/xda-stealth_servicemenu.aspx?region=my#software
Choose your country from “Software utilities and upgrade” and download the ROM to your desktop.

What about anything else? there is some error after you upgrade your o2 stealth to wm6.5?
I am sorry..i need to confirm that becouse this is my first time for me to use windows mobile and alse flashing of course..
By: arnolditya on September 16, 2009
at 6:20 pm
Haha… just understand that this is all done by common people who has expert knowledge in all this. There are no real warranty or customer service to help you if anything goes wrong. My advice is always to make a backup of your phone and if anything goes wrong, re-flash your phone with the original o2 ROM. You can get it from http://www.myxda.com/xda-stealth_servicemenu.aspx#software
By: Er Lern on September 16, 2009
at 9:01 pm
haha..thanks a lot..i have upgrade my o2 stealth..and looks good..nice interface..wifi still working and the other else..
But i found that the eZytext has removed from input..and also the hand recognition..
Do you experienced the same thing?
Maybe you have some advice for me to fix this..
thanks before..

Any suggession for wm6.5.1 for o2 xda stealth
By: jay on November 2, 2009
at 11:02 pm
Hi Jay, unfortunately all WM6.5 developments are handled by the Chinese cooks at http://g3top.com/ and thus are not in English. By the way, 6.5.1 are not legal to be ported (since Microsoft recently yanked the codes off XDA forums). If you can understand Chinese, then go to g3top to download the latest. If not… then you have to pray with me that someone will be nice enough to translate one over.
By: erlern on November 3, 2009

Hi Erlern,
Thanks for your Information, I think I must have to join you in prayer, even I dont understand Chinese.
