As far as I could tell NO ONE was claiming that 6.5 WAS a gamechanger, so how many times do we need to hear that it is not. Who the hell said it was? It is what it is. A better UI with some a nice sleek look a few upgrades to hold you over till WM7 comes out on phones with Hardware that can actually support it.
This is no different than people harping on how much the Iphone sucks saying the same stuff over and over. I would rather have my diamond over a 3GS any day of the week and twice on thursday, but to harp on how much better winmo is gets redundant AND redundant.
We get it, 6.5 isn't the second coming, get over it. We don't need a 2,000 word review to tell us that and bashing the same stuff about winmo that's been said a million times over.

Microsoft themselves said they wanted it to be a game changer. They are "responding" to Android and the iPhone with Windows Mobile 6.5. So I think when they make those claims and come out with essentially the same OS with a few pieces of eye candy here and there, there is going to be some resentment for WM. And there should be. As I said before, the operating system hasn't changed in almost TEN YEARS. They're late to the game, and they have little time left to salvage their place in the handset market. It's not a coincidence almost
every review has been horrible.
