Re: WM 6.5.x is now WM 6.6
 

also if u read the whole article WM7 may not be shown in February at all and just talked about

Re: WM 6.5.x is now WM 6.6.....WM7 may not be shown next month
 

It's a marketing move by Microsoft. If people don't like what's shown next month, then they can still say it's not Windows 7. If they do, then they'll say it's close to 7.

Re: WM 6.5.x is now WM 6.6.....WM7 may not be shown next month
 

lol precisely!

Re: WM 6.5.x is now WM 6.6.....WM7 may not be shown next month
 

god i hope not....WM 6.5 or 6.6 both suck compared to whats out...all they did was take 6.1 and give it more finger friendly items and kinetic scrolling....if that is the case ill be switching to android so fast

Re: WM 6.5.x is now WM 6.6.....WM7 may not be shown next month
 

I think we called this months ago
in that wm 6.6 would be the intermediate between 7 without having any clue as to what these 6.5.x builds were
microsoft planned to continue releasing wm 6.5 and that is clearly shown by wmexperts report of more 6.5 builds (where the monicker of 6.5.x was derived from anyway)

so no news for me sadly

Re: WM 6.5.x is now WM 6.6.....WM7 may not be shown next month
 

wm 6.5.x is still crap...its still using the same kernel as 6.1 lets hope WM7 looks nothing like 6.5.x

Re: WM 6.5.x is now WM 6.6.....WM7 may not be shown next month
 

I also was feeling hemmed in by 6.5 and so read somewhere on this forum how others had installed SPB Mobile Shell to improve the interface. A couple of days ago I did so and, wow, what a transformation! Makes me wonder why MS doesn't just buy SPB and build the new system patterned on their model. As far as I'm concerned, with some multi-touch tweaks it would be a winning interface.

Re: WM 6.5.x is now WM 6.6.....WM7 may not be shown next month
 

There is NO WAY I could go back to 6.1 after using 6.5 for a few months, yep built on the same kernel but, made it finger friendly.

I really hope as well that WM7 looks nothing like 6.5.X

Re: WM 6.5.x is now WM 6.6.....WM7 may not be shown next month
 

i honestly think microsoft wants all of us to switch to android or apple.
they dont wanna give up and quit because that'll make them look like the sore losers in "the game", at the same time they dont wanna invest too much money in this portion of MS.

what a friggin joke.

these clownheads better impress me next month, or im grabbing the iphone4g.

Re: WM 6.5.x is now WM 6.6.....WM7 may not be shown next month
 

There is NO REASON to show an incomplete wm7? It makes no sense whatsoever. MS can learn from apple that HYPE is everything (2 years later iPhone has MMS and sells to the public a "new feature")

wm6.6 is very much NEEDED to finish/complete wm6.5 making it more touch friendly. A few WM coders could lock themselves in an office for a week and make SUBSTANTIAL changes to wm6.x interface. wm 6.6 will also run great on older/cheaper smartphones... why throw away that market to android?

wm7 mandating 1Ghz, 800x480 and can play xbox live type games from "market". No brainer and on on 4 carriers (not just ATT) is just what the mobile phone market needs come xmas 2010 (and 4G faster data rates which really is where wm7 will shine)

Android has nothing really better (it's messy too) and iPhone is stuck on a bad network. No perfect solution.

Re: WM 6.5.x is now WM 6.6.....WM7 may not be shown next month
 

So is it possible for TP2 owners to see an update to 6.6 or is this a new device?

Re: WM 6.5.x is now WM 6.6.....WM7 may not be shown next month
 

i'd wager heavily in it... official or unofficial.

the TP2 6.5 update has manilla 2.1 and has more features than the imagio "6.5" update.

since none of these devices (sold in the USA to date) can run wm7 anyways this all the more reason for lame bloggers/haters to get a clue to reality.

and the 1st such device the HD2 that will run WM7 will probably benefit from 2x more program RAM anyways to do the stuff we want to do on these phones).

Re: WM 6.5.x is now WM 6.6.....WM7 may not be shown next month
 

I swear I must be one of the few people in the world who is happy with 6.5 manila. If 6.6 cleans up a few of the issues then I would be even happier.

Re: WM 6.5.x is now WM 6.6.....WM7 may not be shown next month
 

just going to point out something
we have received rumors on rumors on rumors of this...I think this is just one MWC we will have to wait for next month

Re: WM 6.5.x is now WM 6.6.....WM7 may not be shown next month
 

Yeah seriously this is pissing me off, too. I'm checking my feeds this morning and Engadget and TechCrunch are all putting real stories out there based on RUMORS of RUMORS. People need to relax on the rumors spout by Average Joe Nerd.

Re: WM 6.5.x is now WM 6.6.....WM7 may not be shown next month
 

i like that idea. i flashed all the 6.1 and 6.5 roms and was really happy with the 6.5 ones. when 6.5.x came out i couldn't find any updated 6.5 that i was happy with. so reverted back to stock/locked and went spb end sept last year. was looking at hero for a bit but it just isn't grabbing me. i would like to see hd2 come to sprint and w7 be like spb.

Re: WM 6.5.x is now WM 6.6.....WM7 may not be shown next month
 

Im not wholly dissatisfied with 6.5, more dissatisfied with the sluggishness, the quirky behavior, the poor internet explorer browser, the odd UI which goes back and forth from 3.1 to semi modern appearance, the fact that most apps are not finger friendly and are dated, the lack of a lock screen that functions properly (like the Zune HD, locking when you turn it off and locking after a delay), the resistive screens, and thats about it i can think of. But those are enough reasons that average joe consumer would get a WM phone now and hate the OS, and they are reasons why I hope in every way from the marketplace to look and feel WM7 makes a clean break from 6.x

Re: WM 6.5.x is now WM 6.6.....WM7 may not be shown next month
 

im shocked you don't already have an iphone. you seem to like the look of it by your iphone wad theme. i jumped the winmo ship awhile ago and moved to webos, best move ive made. winmo is dead and micro$oft knows it.

Re: WM 6.5.x is now WM 6.6.....WM7 may not be shown next month
 

hey fix hows the pixie?? thinking of selling my wifes tour and get her a pixie or pre.. she is starting to cuss at the bb sometimes.lol I would get her a hero or a moment.. but i dont think she is ready for android yet.. I know webos would be a perfect balance for here..without going back to a dumbphone..

on a side note.. I to think it just microsoft being microsoft..they know they have very stiff comp in the form of android. apple, and webos.. they know wm 7 is gonna make or break wm.. etc...

Re: WM 6.5.x is now WM 6.6.....WM7 may not be shown next month
 

never!!!!!! Fanboy forever!!!!!!!!!

Re: WM 6.5.x is now WM 6.6.....WM7 may not be shown next month
 

and what would you do if they did stop winmo? im not here to bash it but honestly there are alot better mobile operating systems out there. two that come to mind is webos and android. i hate the iphone so i won't give it any props.

Re: WM 6.5.x is now WM 6.6.....WM7 may not be shown next month
 

the pixi is much better than the pre. the keyboard, the battery life, the form factor and overall design is awesum. it may not get 3d gaming right away like the pre but it will get the final adobe flash next month as well. i really recommend it. loving webos so far.

Re: WM 6.5.x is now WM 6.6.....WM7 may not be shown next month
 

Good question. I'd probably go with Palm, just because I first had it with the Treo 600 and it was decent. I'm sure WebOS is pretty decent now, too. But I doubt WinMo would ever go out there. I know that many people think there are better OS' out there, but I don't necessarily agree. Just because one is faster and more finger-friendly, doesn't mean it's better in my eyes. I like using my stylus, I like file-structure. And most of all, I want my phone to be an actual pocket version of a computer. WinMo is the closest thing.

I hate Apple (I hate Quicktime, iTunes, Douchebag Apple stores and their employees, gay commercials, simplicity) and slightly hate Google (GoogleUpdater.exe).

Re: WM 6.5.x is now WM 6.6.....WM7 may not be shown next month
 

Word on the street is that WM7 WILL BE SHOWN!! And LG has stated a WM7 phone is coming out in September 2010!!!

As far as 6.6....I think it is all a marketing plan from Microsoft

Re: WM 6.5.x is now WM 6.6.....WM7 may not be shown next month
 

lol, its funny you mentioned that.
i actually recieved an iphone 2g as a forum community secret santa gift this past christmas..
im loving it, seriously.. im not using it as a phone though, multimedia purposes only.
so im rocking the diamond and iphone, it makes the diamond pale in comparison for internet browsing.
when im out and about i turn on wifi router on the diamond and use the iphone for internet, LOL

Re: WM 6.5.x is now WM 6.6.....WM7 may not be shown next month
 

What is this world coming to?

Re: WM 6.5.x is now WM 6.6.....WM7 may not be shown next month
 

I agree, especially the new 6.5.3. I was using SPB when I flashed the first 6.5, but now I'm sticking with Manila. The progression MS has made from 6.1 to 6.5.x has been pretty huge. Everyone who's hating on WM, quit talking and go buy an iPhone or an Android phone.

Re: WM 6.5.x is now WM 6.6.....WM7 may not be shown next month
 

you moved to webOS? lol, i hated palm os... and i like winmo 6.5.3.
it's nice finger friendly. idc if its built on the same kernel, it's nice eyecandy and extremely nice. i would be switching to an iphone for the sake of its apps, but customization is just a pain and you have to jailbreak it. the current 3g s isn't even that nice. i have a friend who just received a touch pro 2 and another one who just received an iphone (with data!) and the iphone just sucks. multitasking is nearly impossible and only hardware wise it looks nice imo.

Re: WM 6.5.x is now WM 6.6.....WM7 may not be shown next month
 

window 6.1 and 6.5 work perfect on mobile shell. 6.5.x roms work differant on ms cause of the start on bottom of screen.

Re: WM 6.5.x is now WM 6.6.....WM7 may not be shown next month
 

Real wm7 please come. i cant take much more. i don't know how i will live switching back to a brew flip phone.

Re: WM 6.5.x is now WM 6.6.....WM7 may not be shown next month
 

it's hard trust me. i remember when i had my razr when my vogue was "in the shop". had to then switch to my treo. >< despise that phone.

Re: WM 6.5.x is now WM 6.6.....WM7 may not be shown next month
 

please delete the last post... it made me vomit all over my keyboard lol...

Re: WM 6.5.x is now WM 6.6.....WM7 may not be shown next month
 

lol, sorry, i was so HAMMERED and had no biz being here. it has been fixed. hope you got the chunks out from between the keys, lol.

Re: WM 6.5.x is now WM 6.6.....WM7 may not be shown next month
 

Haha I was trying to read your post.

Re: WM 6.5.x is now WM 6.6.....WM7 may not be shown next month
 

Sure hope they get on the ball. Once the ported android builds reach a quality that will take daily use, I am thinking of making the jump.

That said, I do enjoy the newest leaks and it always bums me out to have to keep dropping back to earlier 6.5.x releases to ensure stability.
