After using 6.5, would you go back to 6.1 ?

[DavidinCT]

The more I play with WinMo 6.5, the more I like it. The other day I had to get a "insurance replacement" phone, and that came with 6.1 on it. I played with it for about 3 hours and said to myself, how did I actually like this ? 3 hours and 5 min, I had 6.5 back on.

6.1 very hard to use with a finger, need the pen for most things, needed to use scrollbars for everything. WM 6.5 SOOOOO finger frendly from e-mail, contacts, home page, etc.

So, what is people's thoughts here, after using 6.5 for a few days to a week, would you go back to 6.1 ?

6.5 also has the nice slide to unlock feature and beautiful start menu

or you could just use S2U2, which is the best

nah, s2u2 never worked right for me, there was a long delay between phone ring and slide feature working, plus the slide to answer/ignore on win mobile 6.5 is much more attractive in my opinion and FAR faster and functional.

Sometimes I would get a call in s2u2 and when i slid to answer it would just be stuck in incoming call forever and I couldnt quit, had to soft reset many a time.

Which is why win mobiles bug-free slide to answer functionality is awesome

I don't think s2u2 was the problem, likely adv.cfg, or diamondtwk.

anyway, I'd be happy with wm5.

yeah after i tried and got used to 6.5 i cant go back.... i want to try that new mighty silence rom but i cant cause its 6.1

I can't go back because I LOVE 6.5....But I only had my phone for a few days before I flashed a 6.5 rom and never went back, so maybe I didn't give 6.1 a fair chance...We will never know though

I've been using WM devices from PocketPC 1.0 (yea, if you played with them way before PPC phones came out), it's aways been designed for a pen/stylus. Never really finger frendly.

Think of 6.1 like 6.5 but, you had scrol bars for everything, so no finger sliding...

I do love 6.5....Looking forward to what MS does with "7"

Guess I don't know what I am missing but I never left 6.1.
Works fine for me.
I don't mind using the stylus and with 6.5 it seems like you have to perform more clicks to do something, but it is probably just in the way you set it up.

I don't love 6.5 per se -- but I sure think it's an improvement. Don't see myself going back to 6.1, but I've been annoyed by quite a bit of bugginess with 6.5 ROMs on my kaiser.
