As you can read on MS website
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/6-1/default.mspx
Today microsoft has launched Windows mobile 6.1
i also read this news on an italian portal (pockepcitalia) but theu say that HTC will release the update only for the TYTN II....
but why?
So the best feature IMO the sliding panel, is missing from the touch screen version of WM 6.1 nice
Well that link is for smartphone anyways,
but yes, pda 6.1 isn't that much of an upgrade, while smartphone version is.
that's my opinion, too
WM6.1 on PDAs is not more than a facelift.

A very light facelift!
well, actually not only a facelift.
I enjoy very much the zoom out in PIE and also the new chat like view of the SMS
And the embedded task manager too

No, WM6.1 more faster then WM6.0
And more stability.

Do you know that for sure or do you assume that only?

I test WM6.0 original ROM and WM6.1
And I tried it also at HTC P3450. The same results.

I take this with a grain of salt. The OS always seems faster when re-loaded for the first time.

You think? But.... One week it is "first time" or not?

Yep...still too soon. I have done my share of OS upgrading too. Use it for a month or more then compare that device with a WM 6.0 device side by side.

You may be right on this. I also realized, that WM6.1 seems to have
optimized kernel and so be faster in response. So i confirm, that WM6.1
also in my opinion is "better" than WM6.0. My former statement of the
facelift was regarding to the optical appearance of WM6.1 on PDA devices
in comparison to the optical improvements of the Smartphone version.
Hope that made it clear
Olioaglio
As you can see there aren't that many updates from 6.0 to 6.1. But everything can run faster and better. (Hope so)

Good point....
I rebooted my Orbit2 about one time per week.
I think 1-2 day enoght for stability of all cashes and good time for testing.

It's not even sure if HTC will release a WM6.1 upgrade for the Touch Cruise.
Being patient is all what you can do, or use a custom rom
when I have qtek was very simple on official site was everything rom's e.t.c. but for htc e-club zero....
I been waiting for this for a long timeClick Here
I hope it will be for the touch diamond as well

Unless they do some nasty things that need the Raphael nk.exe, as some builds of Manila had... But I'm sure we can "get around" these.
Looks like a good browser, and I've been using one of the builds on my PC and it's fantastic!

I am looking forward to try it on my Diamond
Hope this supports SIP (if not, this could be the reason why they say it is for TP - hard keyboard).
Flash?
After watching the video (link above) it looks as though it will support flash, when the guy clicks on his url bar, in the drop down list is you tube, not that it matters as there are plenty of ways to watch youtube, but it does look very interesting!
Hi All
There is a rom for the HD Mini allready in the HD Mini section! Can someone get the dialer out of it and port it WVGA? And anything else you find interesting in it!

Unfortunately the rom that is available at this moment doesn't run WM 6.5.3 but WM 6.5 (build 21613)
This is cruel!
Oh well... I guess that we will have to wait a little longer for it! Thanks for the info anyway. BTW Can someone tell me an alternative dialer app that is good to be used? I've been searching for a long time but I can't find anything that I like enough!

Don't you like the current dialer? If you are looking for a fix of the button-overlap problem, I don't think that this will be fixed by a port of the Mini dialer anyway. I think that this will be solved by the new lay-out of the bottom-bar (toolbar) of the Mini.

Yes I am and I really hope that HTC will do it right! BTW does anyone know if HTC is going to release an official WM6.5.X update to the HD2?

Hi Russell, thanks for your email.
I do not know where these network assistants got this information as it is not correct. The official answer is that "We are working closely with Microsoft on Windows Phone 7 Series and look forward to releasing new handsets which will use the new OS." reading between the lines, it would seem therefore that the answer would be no.
There are many reasons for this, not least Steve Ballmers announcement that "no current handsets will be upgraded", Also 7 Series is NOT an upgrade to 6.5. Microsoft is releasing it as a totally new and separate OS from the exisiting Windows Mobile versions. 6.5 will continue to be developed, even after 7 will be available, to offer two different OS versions for different needs. 6.5 will remain more business orientated, and for devices with OS skins on them (Like the HD2 which uses our Sense skin), and 7 Series for new, more media and social based handsets, which will not be skinned.
Therefore, I can only recommend that if you specifically want 7, you will need to wait for it to be available on new handsets If the HD2 meets your needs, then i would consider buying it anyway, as the 6.5.x software will continue to be developed even after 7 is released.
Best regards,

nice/fast/stable
It's running nice/fast/stable on my gf's hd2, but it looks a bit dated once you've tried some of the 6.5.3 roms. Are Microsoft not releasing 6.5.3 to HTC or something? It's really strange that they don't seem to want to promote advances in the OS when android and the like are getting over the air updates to their phones. Little things like the documents tab and the eReader tab from 6.5.3 (plus the fact it's just that little bit more finger friendly) make it all a bit more exciting to show off.
Gotta love my HD2 though Is it true you can't even change the background picture on an iPhone?

nothing to do with microsoft or winmo, that's sense.you can have them tabs on 6.5 if you cook them in.
anyone have issues signing into google maps v4.1? since upgrading ROM i can't sign in, even from the default version on the ROM,version 3.2.1. i can sign into my google account online ok. something is wrong with google maps i believe. any help would be appreciated.
Does anyone know what .net framework is embedded in this ROM?
its cool managed to get .net 3.5 installed again, had to uninstall windows mobile device centre and went into program features and it was there to be reinstalled. All good!
updated to this ROM which is now manika 2012, but the home/today screen won't rotate, i thought it should with this version of manila, or is it a feature of never/custom roms?

I believe this is in custom roms only at the mo.
The HD2 should have been fully landscape supported from the start tbh.
Herein I post my second rom. After working on nearly 20 builds among 6.5 and 6.5.3, I could make sure that this build is surely one of the best.
A notice to the friends keen on 6.5.3; due to low RAM in Opal, 6.5 builds are much more efficient. Anyhow I hope you find it interesting.
In this rom you can find the followings:
Manila 2D + Theme from HTC HD mini MODIFIED
Finger keyboard v2.1 Thanks to Rozenthal
Notification enhancement enabled as default, you can see how it works in the picture.
Showcase 1.0.1b
Nodata
PIM Backup
Quick shutdown
Opera Mini 5.1
EZ input 2.1
Connecting notifier enabled as default
Audio Manager (working properly)
Audio Booster
Volume Control
HTC Endkey
USB to PC pop up working properly
JBlend 2.1
Adobe PDF 2.5.1
S2U2 v2.43 lock thanks to A_C for his permission to use his lock
All appreciations for Pajerm for his aid and sharing packages
For homescreen you need to install Manila Home Weather Updator

Why don't you make a 6.5.3 ROM? It looks awesome but I prefer the more finger oriented GUI from the newer builds
Good Job! That very nice! Really thanks!

Like other roms i've seen up to now, i think the problem is with the GPRS. you need to disable it through nodata. then it should work fine!

I have some problem! After using GPRS --> Google maps! I can not call, but I can receive calls--> I have a notification: "Cannot complete the call. The signal may be unavailable or the phone number may not be valid. verify the number or try again later" Help me!
Sorry! I'm not really good at english!

Where can I download this Rom?
