I think the biggest difference between WM7 and WM6.5 is UI. Picture Gallery, Zune Player and XBox Live aren't a big goal.
I hope somebody can modifie SPB Mobile Shell 3.5+ or write a new UI and we'll see WinMo7 UI in our WinMo 6.5 devices
well if WM7 does come to the HD2, this won't be needed
but i'd like to see this as well, if possible!
WM7 with htc sense, one like in android with loots of cool widgets, spb mobile shell lacks lots of widgets.

I belive HD2's are supposed to get a free upgrade to wm7...?
We all know what Microsoft are like tho, if there is any way they can squeze any money out of us, they'll try
Wanted to ask, will it run ok on the HD2 when its released? I've heard thats why they've beefed up the new US version (basically everything x2 plus 16gig on board mem ect..)
Any ideas anyone?
Hello There,
if WM7 UI avaible for WM6.5, we'll have all cool things of that two OS.
WM6.5's Multitasking and customizations + WM7 UI (ohh sorry... does WM7 has good things except UI )
SPB is launching MS 5.0. Saw its alpha working, pretty amazing 3D quality desktops and loads of widgets. They are skipping 4.x releases.. Expect something in May....

From what I understood from the webcast conference from the Barcelona mobile event was that WindowsPhone7Series has been re-written from the ground up. All brand new code designed to run on the specific hardware that Microsoft has required for partners to be elidgible.
I may have mis-understood <shrug>

actually, they're not exactly "skipping" the 4.x release. They just skip the number 4 because it's bad luck in Asia.... But really, really looking forward to MS 5.0!

Well, would be easy to just put a fullscreen pic of wm7 on the hd2 and take a picture though :/. Smells fake?
Indeed bluebird!
I now realize that (i) the homescreen that was displayed yesterday on Microsoft booth is not even exactly this one.... and more importantly (2) in Barcelona 3GSM where this phone is supposed to have been spotted there is no '3G T-Mobile NL' network!!!
Not to mention the fact it says Foto's instead of Pictures

Motorola Q9 (the source of the screenshots) is a smartphone...

You're right, for the time being.
But, we really need to wait until those micro-softies release an upgrade (not an update like WM6.1).
Why? Because WM6 is an update of WM5 and WM5 is REALLY old.
Older than Symbian V3 and a lot older than the iPhone.
The new upgrade will have a different shell and would do much better @ graphics.
(The upgrade should be WM7 - Codename Photon and it should be ready in 2009)
P.S. those are the screenshots of a smartphone...
We still don't know how WM6.1 looks in the handheld (PDA).

u all Moderator behave yourself & Don't be impatient
i am here
my 60% work complete & the above pictures r only for reference
i better know than u that wm7 not work on wizard
its not a official wm7 rom but it is wm7 rom which have some less specification than orignal.
i am sure u like this rom.
Can't Wait!
Looks super cool... waiting waiting...
Let me laugh...
Warf warf...
Um...this looks like smartphone, windows standard not Windows pro for wizard.
Well, engadget started talking bout it in Early Jan so it could be it... http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/01/06/is-this-windows-mobile-7/
U never know.. (or if u better know)!!!
That's pretty cool~
Actually, it looks a lot like the skins that were being developed in the "Development and Hacking" section... maybe he integrated them into a rom and set it as default theme... it does look cool though...
Im' not sure whter it will work on Wizard? (any usable work)
Groan. Get a grip guys. WM7 won't be here until next year and it's extremely unlikely that it will work on existing devices. Cooked WM6.1 variants with some stuff ported from WM7, we may get to see, but forget about the real thing.
Very nice! Will try this when it will be released
cool!cool!cool!

verry pro!!!!!!
it is true that some people have recieved some dev kit for WM7...
... but at this time it is far to be released and even more there is some spec that haven't been defined
But for sure it will be a nice product... very easy
but when it will be??
Am I the only one that thinks these WM7 concepts (and most of the others) are fugly?! Maybe its the giant analog clock that is so repulsive? I am sorry if I'm coming off harshly. It's just everyone seems to like them but me! Just curious if I'm the only one...
I heard that my present hardwares in k-jam don t work witth wm7 . are you drunk or have a new k-jam ?
First picture it's only WM6 with possibly BatteryStatus and second picture it's from a smartphone.
I'll give you 2 days to post here more details or else I'll consider this SPAM and delete the thread.

I just wish we 6.1 owners can get this update but that's not going to happen.
well greats...for РРС ed. screens will be?
Dated Sep 26, why wait this long to put the screenshots up ? I wonder.....
We may not get "official" upgrades but the kind folks around here will probably find some use for it.
Looks pretty cool!
I do believe that the odds for a free upgrade to 6.5 is possible. Just like 6.0 was upgraded to 6.1, so should 6.1 be upgraded to 6.5.
The only thing that would stop it would be if the device is too slow to handle the new version. But you shouldn't hope for a free upgrade to WM 7
Not to go off-topic but it is dispointing that we might need another upgrade just to get the new mobile IE 6.0.
Most people are of the opinion that these screen shots are fakes - due to the OSX icons being used.
Also, the 6.5 will probably be required for the new IE because of the HTML rendering engine also being used for Pocket Outlook, XML reading, etc.
I *believe* 6.5 should run fine on the current generation of HTC handsets... but WM7 is designed for the "next generation" of handsets - google nVidia's Tegra chipset to learn about this.

Not only that, but the battery and signal strength indicators are transposed on the 2 shots, and it looks nothing like the preview screens of WM7 we've seen. Also, MS like screen layouts to have a logical progression, and that honeycomb layout is rather... chaotic.
It's a photoshop, and not the best on either.
Fake
Fakes for me too
And it's even more simple than that : since when Microsoft put the phone function of these devices in the first place ? Putting Microsoft Media Player in the center of the screen is more correct lol
But there is a lot of other reasons and the first one is : what a new version of Windows Mobile and the first roms are not on XDA ? Impossible, XDA is the best !
I'm making a WAD2 theme based off the second screenshot... it should be done this weekend. (or at least a beta version).
hi,
I recently recently left WM (Touch HD) for an iphone (32GB 3GS)....however, I'm going to be switching back to WM as soon as the HD2 is available because as much as the iphone is an incredible interface...I find it's functionality to be lacking.
now, sadly...I have fallen in love with the apps store. I was amazed at the range and quality of the apps available...like the advert says, 'there's an app for that'. and it's true there is an app for just about everything...and I've found some great ones that I really want on my new WM device.
so, is there a site anywhere that will let me find WM comparable apps to the iphone? I can type in a name of an app available on the iphone and it will give me WM versions?
if not...should I build one? would anyone be interested such a site?
Microsoft is going to open their own "AppStore", called Marketplace for Windows Mobile, in two days.
The HD2 will already have it preinstalled.
However, it is not known currently how many applications will be there when it launches.
Apart from the built in Marketplace, you can find applications here at xda-developers and at sites like handango.com, mobihand.com, pocketgear.com, freewareppc.com and many others.
There's not as many applications for WM as there are for the iPhone, but since I recently switched back from the iPhone 3G to the Touch HD myself, I can tell you that I don't miss anything.
I think with WM6.5 and the Marketplace, the number of quality applications for WM will grow rapidly.
I am looking forward to the MS app store, as the iphone one is a dream to use. so I REALLY hope it's up to scratch.
I can think of a few apps that I'm going to miss hugely though.
1) facebook....considering how much MS paid for a piece of facebook, you would have thought that they'd built a decent app to give access to it
2) Sky tv. I have an iphone ap that allows me to scroll through program and then just select one to record...simples....however there is no such app available for WM sadly
Windows Mobile 6.5 actually has a decent Facebook app built in.
And the newest version of TouchFlo 3D, as you'll find it on the HD2, will take Facebook a lot further than what you can have on the iPhone, with direct integration into your contacts list (same for Twitter, Flickr and Youtube). This, like so many other things, will never be possible on an iPhone, because of Apple's restrictions.
Notice the Facebook logo among all the other WM apps:

I don't know what Sky tv is, so I can't help you with that one, sorry.
thanks for the pointer...I will have to apologise for mentioning the iphone so many times in my recent posts...I am a WM fan at heart, but I just hope it can become the all conquering OS that it should be.
and apple would be all conquering, IF they let people customise their phones instead of locking them all down.
still...come on HD2.....I am ready and waiting with cash!!
So I was just browsing around and noticed that the 28002 Build has been spotted. After taking a look around it just looks like maybe a few UI changes and possible improved performance. Has anyone got the Build for us to port over or should we just skip this Build all together? If you have it, post here and we shall test it.
Windows Mobile 6.5.3
In November 2009, two 6.5.3 builds leaked (28002 and 28004). They have been unofficially ported to several Windows Mobile phones. Windows Mobile 6.5.3 will bring a more finger-friendly user interface, support for gestures, and an improved address book. Additionally, the start menu is moved to the lower left corner, as in desktop versions of Windows
EDIT: Found all the porting tools here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544445 I would do it but I am still learning how do do everything so I am just helping by finding the information for the experts lol.
EDIT2: Looks like Ivan will be including this build in the next version of SuperJustKitchen as stated here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4996075&postcount=17.

I've had 28002 and 28004 ported sitting on my hard drive since they were released.
I just haven't had a chance to release SuperJustKitchen v0.7, yet.
Who has time,lol. I look on xda like twice a day,lol. I did put 28002 on my Touch pro, and it's just faster I guess lol. I still have alot going but when winter break comes ALL BETS ARE OFF LOL
Thanks to all of the cook's for their on going support of the Wing! Keep up the good work, look forward to testing 6.5.3
I don't like these new versions. They're gimmicky and bloated. WinMo 6.1 fo' lyphe!
Are there releases of thos rom that are able to be flashed by SD card by any chance?

They're not gimmicky, but they ARE moving away from the need of a stylus to a more finger friendly approach. The problem is that the Herald is an aging beast, so it's not able to keep up with the pace. They're trying to keep up with Apple and Android.

28002 isn't a ROM, it's a dump of the files requires to make a ROM that's 28002 (when mixed with the required files of the device you're cooking for.
Hopefully by the end of this week or next week, you'll have a kitchen that will allow you to create ROMs with 28004 (or whatever comes out between now and then since I port all new builds the same day they are leaked out to the world.)
EDIT: Ok, now I'm porting 28005.
Hey, Ace. Would you be willing to use your glass theme with 6.5.3? I really like what you did with it originally. I think it would look amazing if you made it with the Win7 Start button too.
