Hi Guys,
So Iv'e run WM 6.5 Beta on my HTC TYTN II & HTC Touch Dual for 3 months & I'm kind of Dissapointed. Yes it has a better interface....easier to use without a stylus. But....It's much slower than 6.1 & frequently hangs up for a few seconds when doing multiple things. I don't know about your findings but I'm waiting for WM 7 !
it's a Beta?

i have a simple questio why all ROM cooker`s make only wm6 and wm6.1 professional instead of improving the standard one wich was made for smartphones non touchscreen?The wm6 and wm6.1 pro are to hard to use because HTC Tornado doesn`t have touch screen..why all of you try to improve the pro version instead of the standard one?
Because 6.1 Professional has a lot more options and is a lot more powerful in general. I encourage you to get hold of a Wizard or Hermes or TyTN or one of HTC's touchscreen PDA phones with 6.1 Pro on it (I have a friend who owns a Wizard that I play with once in a while) and try it out.
If they can get 6.1Pro to work on a Smartphone, I can see how a lot of people would want it.
Of course, on a personal level, I've tried one of the 6.1Pro ROMs currently available for the Tornado and, honestly, I don't like it. It's got a lot of stuff that I want, but the interface just doesn't seem to work for me. I can't find my way around, can't figure out the button layout. If there was a 6.1 Standard that had all the options and capabilities of 6.1Pro, or if there was a 6.1Pro with a 6.1Standard interface, I'd be ALL FOR IT.
In any case, there's at least one person working on a 6.1 Standard for us Tornado users - GnatGoSplat has an *excellent* 6.1 Standard ROM that's been available for quite some time and, we're hoping, will be updated in the near future. GnatGoSplat rules.

I'm with you on this mate... Pro is for touch screen devices. Why the heck would anyone want that on a non-touch screen device? I have an HTC Touch running GnatGoSplats WM6.1 Pro - brilliant... I also have a Tornado running Gregory's WM6 Neo - also brillianr, but I wouldn't want anOS designed for a completely different kind of device on my Tornado no matter how good Pro is! Leave Pro with the touch screen devices, THAT'S WHAT IT'S FOR!!!

yes but pro isn`t for non touchscreen devices...in my opinion for HTC Tornado make wm6.1 or wm6 better and do not try to make the pro version better...
Friends,
I have upgraded My HTC Touch from WM 6.0 to WM 6.1. Its great to have WM 6.1. But I found that , charged 100%, after 5 - 10 minuts it shows 80%. Is there any bugs or issue in WM 6.1. And battery also drains fast compare to WM 6.0. I have installed Battery Status++ (.348). No other Application downloaded till now.

I think you should ask to the cheff of the ROM you are using, I found that some ROM´s consume more batteries than others, so also you can try another ROM¨s
Hope it helps,
Hi there, first time post here. I noticed there are all kinds of builds of Windows Mobile 6.5 floating around, and the screenshots look awesome. I just recently got an HTC Ozone and was wondering if there exists yet a 6.5 build for it that can be found. Also, are there mainly the same enhancements on Standard edition phones? I really like what I have seen of the screenshots.
Me too ! Just got the ozone and loving it ... anyone try upgrading it to 6.5? Also would the 6.5 builds for the htc pro or diamond work on the ozone? ozone isn't touchscreen is one thing that makes me think it wont ...
Good question .. Is there a working 6.5 ROM work for the HTC Ozone from Verizon?
Awesome news, HTC is giving an official (free ) upgrade to Diamond 2, Pro 2 and Snap in all markets worldwide. This would also come with the (somewhat degraded version of) Sense UI found in the Hero.
The offical launch date of WM 6.5 is October 07
Samsung Omnia Pro will also get a free upgrade to WM 6.5

What about touch pro 2?
Touch Pro 2 is also confirmed for 6.5 official upgrade.
HTC Leo, Acer E1 and F1 confirmed to be launched with 6.5
Acer launches (E1 and F1) within a few days of Windows phone launch.
Note the new branding, its no more a Windows mobile, its a Windows phone
More updates soon, Acer has confirmed 1 more model and ASUS has as well (guess its M29) but not sure yet.
Cheers!

When you say the manila 2.5, you mean TF3D ?
If yes, this is strange 'cause mine is already 3.0 in my EU stock rom...
i mean the new manila - it has bits of HTC sense, like a facebook integrated profile which i have already noticed .. possibly a coloered UI
used the HTC Mega right now.. test phone.. the touch flo is colored
If anyone is planning to buy the Omnia Pro B7320.; PLEASE WAIT; Samsung is going to release Omnia Pro B7330.. better hardware, larger scree, pre loaded with 6.5 and looks far better
Hi,
I have a Factory Unlocked HTC Touch Pro 2 WM 6.1. I would like to upgrade to WM 6.5 but I am very nervous. I have done a lot of research on the net and found out from my analysis that 6.1 is more stable and has a better today screen. Some people say 6.5 is better and some people say they wish they had not upgraded. So I am stuck in a dilemma.
If I upgrade to 6.5, can I downgrade back to 6.1. What I am trying to say is where can I find the "standard factory shipped htc touch pro 2 wm 6.1rom" ?
Look forward to hearing from you.
