The Japanese fifth X-ray astronomy satellite Suzaku carries the Hard X-rayDetector (HXD) which is installed with 20 BGO crystal scintillationcounters for the active shielding. The anti-coincidence counters areavailable to work as the Wideband All-sky Monitor (WAM), which realize apowerful gamma-ray burst spectrometer covering the 50-5000 keV band. Aftertwo month activation operations, the WAM is now in a fully operated, andhas succeeded to observe some prompt emissions from GRBs simultaneouslywith Swift other satellites. In this paper, we report on the WAM inflightperformance from initial operations, and present some results, includingobtained 100 keV to 1 MeV hard X-ray spectra from GRB051008 and GRB051111.
