Re: WM 6.1---How come we don't get all the features??

Indeed. They're actually using some careful wordsmithing in those press releases. Yes, the "home screen" is updated in windows mobile 6.1, but the catch is that only Windows Mobile Standard (non-touchscreen phones) have a "home screen." Our Windows Mobile Professional phones have a "today screen" and WM6.1 doesn't offer any enhancements for it. So ViPaDawG is correct, the Q, Ace, Blackjack II will get that nifty home screen enhancement, but our PPC phones, with WinMo Pro, will not.

Regarding the upgraded pocket IE: if you have one of the newer 6.1 builds (like no2chem's), you actually do have that "zoom in/out" feature; it's just not nearly as cool as their marketing spin makes it out to be. Next time you open up a website in pocket IE, tap the menu button (the right softkey). You should see an option to "zoom out." Try it out and you'll see that it's basically a useless feature.
