WM7 (not, just a major wm6 update)

[Pyrofer]

Has anybody seen/heard anything about this?

Apparently MS are showing it off already and claim it works on existing hardware.

Id love to have this :) I guess the wait begins.

looks nice, but which bit of "Nope, it's not Windows Mobile 7 / Photon, " do you not understand.

This is WM6.1, not WM7!!

looking forward to it anyway. WM6 was a vast improvement in stability and function over wm5, and hopefully this will be more steps in the same direction.
If the linked story regarding the carousel UI is true, it might be the first major change to the basic today functions since pocket pc 2000! Much as i love WM and the sheer magnitude of the things i can do on it, the design does suck!

Yeah, me...

It has been leaked out thanks to The Boy Genius from www.boygeniusreport.com

There are some (100) screenshots from a phone with WM6.1 (Motorola Q9).

Therefore, WM6.1 is only for smartphone and not for ppc. It's a WM smartphone version. (not touchscreen also)

If they release 1 ver. of it they will release all 3. Givem time..

yes wm6.1 is coming to ppc. it wont just look as good as the smartphone version. or atleast i dont think it will. we'll probably get everything except the home screen carousel.

[TecheDude]

interesting topic. I would love to know if 6.1 will be available for ppc as well. and if so, how would it look like and is it worth the upgrade.

I've been trying ti get an Ameo for the longest. Is there any way I can get one sent from the UK. I know in the US T-Mobile doesn't even carry it. T-Mobile's phones suck over here. All the good stuff is on the other side of the world. Lol. Is there any loophole that I can slip through and get this phone for 50 american dollars?

WM 6.1 has been released for pocket pc. I'm running it on my Axim X50V and it's extremely fast (with proper caching tweaks). It uses up less memory than 6 and they've added in a new task manager.

thats not really an update mate
we have been running 6.1 on the athena since aprl
