Same OLD functions, same OLD specs... only thing NEW about it is what HTC added with manila/sense.
Like i've said before on here i've used the moto droid.. speed wise, no comparison. I'm not a fan of the iphone but speedwise, not much comparison there either. NEW is the fact that android has been able to develop and pretty much PASS winmo in development even though winmo had like what, a 5 year headstart? New is when THEY drop updates they are actually significant changes.. not just menu sizes. What has winmo done to actually upgrade the OS ITSELF? Almost NOTHING!!!!!
I'm sorry but i'm just realistic on this one... I can only imagine what android & iphone4g will come out with over the next year in comparison to winmo7. IF its anything like this "major" upgrade from 6.1 to 6.5 then I definitely wont be able to say im impressed.

So now you're backing off your claim that it's the same old WinMo that was on the Mogul and just ranting about it not being as good as Android or the iPhone?
Again, I don't even run manilla. I hate it and the ROM I have been running for the last month doesn't even have it cooked in. And even before that, when I had it cooked in, I never ran it. I'm an SPB Mobile Shell guy. I dare you to go ask anyone running Mobile Shell on a Touch Pro 2 if it behaves differently on WM6.5 than WM6.1. I'll save you the trouble and tell you- yes, it does. One example is the dialer buttons having functions that only work on WM6.5. So clearly WM6.5 has some differences under the hood. And there are plenty of apps that only work correctly on one or the other. See the stickied thread in this forum with a tweaks cab that only works on WM6.1 for further evidence of this. By the way, when I ran SPB Mobile Shell on the mogul, it was not a today screen replacement. It just ran as a today screen plugin. Because back then, winmo didn't allow today screen replacements.
And, again, you go on to say you risked bricking your phone to install it, and wouldn't have bought the phone if you couldn't, and then say it's nothing new. LOL! Which is it? Is it such a nice upgrade that it made you buy a phone that you didn't want otherwise, or is it nothing new?
If you want a Droid, go buy one. Nothing is stopping you. But don't sit here and lie to us that WM6.5 is the same ol WinMo that the Mogul has. It's not. There are huge improvements in interface, speed, and functionality.
And don't try to change or twist your argument. You said it was old, and I called BS on that claim. It has nothing to do with it being faster than a Droid or an iPhone. It has every bit to do with it being newer than the "same ol winmo that the mogul has" though.
