Can someone clarify the following please:
I just noticed some RSS feeds where MS has JUST announced the release of WM 6.1?? How is it we have this forum has had it for months now?
Also- this is my main question - in looking around the web at various video's of WM6.1 there is a new front end that looks pretty nice - how come I never see this on this forum?
Thanks!
same thing as how do people get music CDs before they come out...they get leaked out. and all these roms aren't official. there will probably never be an official copy for kaiser.
and that video is probably for smartphones. Our phones are PPC which contains professional version (touchscreen).

Q1: That's simple. The ROMs you see here are non-official/leaked.
Q2: There's are not so much changes in WM6.1 Professional, but WM6.1 Classic has a new interface/Today Screen.
That's what they show in a lot of videos.

No because Microsoft released wm 6 and 6.1 as a free upgrade. It is the job of your phone provider to port it to their hardware. But the people here cook up custom ROM. So they are just taking the place of the providers doing it.

Presumably though, the providers have signed an agreement to allow them to do this?
I'm just speculating and don't get me wrong, I'd hate to not be able to get hold of cooked roms but the legalities of it all is something thats been on my mind for a while now.
Kind of off topic, but you misspelled "confusion"
Already many threads comparing newest gadgets, like diamond vs omnia vs touchpro vs xperia, even vs iphone. Typical 'what device after this' discussion. But i never see thread about the new incoming machine from HTC. Maybe i'm dreaming alone? LoL
Well then, what do you guys think about the rumoured android-powered HTC Dream? I read some articles about it on engadgets and pocketpcthoughts but it seems too little leaked information available.
Anyone knows or can predict it full specs? Will it be worth the title of 'Dream' machine?
For me, a non-WM pda might be called a dream after palm's turned-down point...

And I hope I can have you, gal :LoL:
Infosync confirmed that T-Mo will release it soon in October!
Where's the enthusiasm, peepz?
Imagine what this can do, we saw some android porting thread in some devices forum, but no phone call function succeed. If this has been released, maybe we can dump and extract the rom? Or kernel, since its linux btw. Next thing you know, you can MAKE and COMPILE the kernel yourself....
I must be dreaming...
I'm dying here!
I have been dying for this phone to come out since I first heard about it in the spring. So, no, you are not alone. I have been trying to get comments since then too. The spec are available online and it will be released on October 13th. It will have Microsoft programs and other "cool" stuff. Been planning for this phone. I expected to pay more and am excited about the 200 dollar price tag. Woo hoo!
Any ideas how this may compare to the cruise? Looks like it's got all the same features, and better typing possibly.
AFAIK, it's not out on the market yet, so it's still impossible to compare.
And it's NOT WinMo device!
not out yet but there seems to be some detailed info out there:

Hey, just one thing I'm a bit confused about.
I remember reading on the WM twitter page in May that WM6.5 had RTM'd. So how are we still getting new builds then?
Or am I mistaken in thinking in terms of desktop OS's, and perhaps MS just constantly work on builds of WM??
Cheers for any clarification.
Marc.
Just read @ the Inq that they'll have a "Windows Phone" preview posted tomorrow, so I'm guessing a general release will happen next week.
Hmmmm..... my acer m900 is supposed to be WM6.5 upgradeable and whislt there is a cooked rom for it, I wonder if this is why they haven't released a new firmware for it yet......
there was an article out on the web and i can't seem to find it. it was either on engadget, giz, wmexperts, fuzemobility or wmpoweruser and it discussed the differences between the wm 6.5 roms. i believe it said all the roms that were in the 24xxx range were leading up to the 6.5.1 release, but the builds in the 23xxx range were leading up to 6.5.5/6. I really need to read this article again but i can't find it anywhere....anyone out there seen it?
Like this one? It talks about the different COM branches, and what they mean.
yeah man...thats not exactly it, but i think this is a sister site. thanx a lot
Found abit on Redmond Pie: http://www.redmondpie.com/details-on-windows-mobile-6.5-build-23409.5.4.0-y765/
Says the 21xxx builds will be the official 6.5.0 release...may be updated to 6.5.1 with the 23xxx builds.
