I used the ctrl and the shift keys to select certain file or an entire group of file to move, copy, etc.
- Messaging – I have notice when typing a name in the “To” box all the contact number for the person populates. There is no way to determine what is a mobile, business or fax number unless you remember.
- Text size– Is there anyway to increase the size of the icon text, contact number text, etc for the people with less than perfect vision? The text tab in the screen setting does not affect any of these.
- Is battery life substantially less with WM 6.5 than 6.1? I have seen a significant difference. Any suggestion to increase battery life would be greatly appreciated.
- Is there a good program to backup contact ring tone association? My companies exchange server backs everything up through active sync except for the contact ring tone association.
Again thanks for the great rom and any suggestion you have.

To answer your questions:
-WM 6.5 and the new HTC Scroll have significantly changed how we were used to using our devices for copy/paste as well as multiple select functions, etc. This is unfortunately just the way it is but third party apps can help us out (e.g. Total Commander has multiple select for copy/paste)
-The messaging contacts drop down does not give you an indication on what number you are inserting into a message which is also unfortunately part of WM.
-The text size of icons in the start menu CAN be changed by replacing or editing the StartMenu_GridScene.cpr files in the Windows directory.
-Battery life is dependant on MANY factors and is impacted by how you use your phone as well. Programs such as GPS, WiFi, Opera, Youtube are all memory intense programs that will decrease battery life. You can fight back by making sure that settings such as Push Internet is disabled, set your backlight on auto dim, disable any automatic data sending/receiving such as weather and e-mail. I am able to go an entire day without recharing with moderate use.
-I have included Sprite Backup in the second post which I highly recommend for a complete phone backup. It will back up every aspect of the phone from soup to nuts and it has saved me many times. It is free for 10 days but WELL worth the money.
