Some here got me POed because they claim 6.5 is the FUTURE...
Well if that is the FUTURE of this platform then this platform is dead!
When you have things like android and iphone doing things in a so much better and user friendly way you have to ask is it really worth supporting the future of a platform that can't break itself away from the standard START button and widget plugin? I should trade stability for a navigation program? I would bet that the gurus here and at XDA could make that 6.5 frontend in about a week if they really wanted to for 6.1 but they haven't why? Because it's not really all that good!
Even SPB Mobile 3 is better than 6.5, TF3D2 is closer to where we should be than honeycomb and widget slider...IF it was expanded (or a private project that was constantly being developed and added to) then TF3D would do everything 6.5 does and more!
I voted that I'm waiting for Win7 simply because what the WM system needs is a complete overhaul of the user interface!
6.5 is nothing more than a paintjob of the same old start menu and launcher plugin. yes it tweaked how the slider functions work but yet still doesn't support multitouch and object resizing on the fly...Hell that technology has been around for 5 years now when does THAT future make it into my phone?
I much prefer something that would allow me to organize my screens and applets based on how I use my phone.
if 6.5 is the future of WM then I will pass and get an iphone once they add all the features they haven't gotten to yet.
And while I'm waiting I'll stick to the familiar 6.1 that I know will work when I need it to, will run any software I could buy and want and won't require me to reboot just to get a phone call!
You folks who like 6.5 enjoy it!
but stop chastizing the rest of us who put stability before fancy today screens and navigation systems!

I've read the thread nowhere do i chastize anyone except the op and that is when he read more people using 6.1 over 6.5 and that was because he was including people who hadn't even tried it out, so i thought that was dumb. Now as for stability i can't say that the 6.1 rom is soooo much more stable, maybe just a lil bit, but as for not realizing that 6.5 is the future then you are deceiving yourself. after about 1 month or so, i don't think windows will ever make a 6.1 device again, so wheter you want to jump on or not its up to you, you can stay running out of date devices that run 6.1 or when you finally feel like upgrading you'll be forced to 6.5 unless you don't plan on upgrading for about 2 years, then of course be my guess and wait for w7, but other then that, 6.5 is better by far. The only thing 6.1 has going for it is that its more stable, and to be honest, the build i'm using is just as stable as 6.1. People keep complaining about all these bugs that don't make it stable but its funny how my phone does none of those things. So like i said i'm not hating you for using 6.1 because its you and your phone, but if you think 6.1 is better then 6.5, then you're on your own, not even microsoft thinks that which is why 6.5 will be released this fall. Also i just noticed your a verizon user, you shouldn't be using 6.5 anyways because your phone doesn't even have the capabilities, so you of course experience massive bugs.
Also you're comparing tf3d2 to 6.5, that doesn't make anysense, because you can run tf3d2 on 6.1 and 6.5, but with 6.1 you're stuck with the old scrolling which is horrible compared to 6.5. you can alos run mobile shell on 6.5 so those statements don't add to your point. We are stictly talking about gui.
