Re: Wm 6.5/7
id like to see a skin or something on a Pre but as far as the actual operating system and functionality, im not so sure. Maybe something like iFonz just with a WM skin.

Re: Wm 6.5/7
lol why does everyone think WM 7 is going to be so great? I mean what have yall seen pictures or something? Cause it hasnt even been made yet (and even if it has I can bet it has not even been run on a ppc yet, it would be in the very very very very very early stages of development)

You are definitely wrong. Windows Mobile 7 was supposed to be released this year but since it wasn't going to be finished they announced 6.5. You think it takes a couple of months to build a UI???? They have been working on this thing for over a year and will almost be 2 years when they finally release it. Don't get me wrong it is still in beta stages, but it is definitely already being built. We have seen some screen shots (whether they are fake or not i can't tell you) but based on the pics and on what microsoft is focusing on, i can tell you the WM7 will definitely be a very good UI.

HAHA totally agree. Also does Windows mobile 6.5 even work with capacative touch screens? I was also under the impression that Windows Mobile doesn't support 24bit color and only 16 bit.

It doesn't. WinMo 7 is supposed to.

But seriously... just buy a WinMo device if that's what you want.

Yeah there is plenty of good Windows Mobile hardware out there. I don't see why people would want to rework a phone that shouldn't even be compatible with windows mobile 6.5.

I think the only reason people try to emulate the iPhone is because it's stuck to one provider. That provider is the main reason I don't and won't own an iPhone.

I think people emulate the iPhone because it has so much potential but its carrier limits it.

Re: Wm 6.5/7
IPhone OS is boring to me, so I never emulate it. I think another reason people emulate it is because the phone is so popular and they want to go "Look my phone can do that to".

Anyway we haven't seen much on WM7, but if 6.5 is a hint to what 7 is bringing...booo!

I been running 6.5 on my TP and its really a week OS. I think WM7 will be nice, but I have my doubts. I don't think it will be as good as WebOS.
