Benefits of wm6.1

[eddyve]

Guys and gals,
I have a question about wm6.1. I see quite a number of versions on the forum and I tried 2 or 3 (maybe 4), but reverted back to wm6 shadow clean (5.2.19.48 wwe) and working with it for more than 1 month.

My question now is "what is the benefit of 6.1?" or since I read a lot about problems (with bluetooth) "why is 6.1 better or what are the new features?"

Thanks

The only visible benefit of Wm6.1 is threaded SMS like Palm OS Chat. Other feature is not so transparent to the end user and more networking related.

I second that, it is more an idea then a real must...

How about the Task Manager shipped with WM6.1^^?
Thank God M$ finally dished out something edible---the shipped TM is brilliant not only because of its small size but its "precise" reports on both CPU and Memory usages for each application and service.
If it not were the incompatibility between WM6 and the TM, I will defenitely switch back to WM6 at this moment^^

PS: The threaded SMS application is rather annoying.

Is it possible to move SMS to subfolders like in 6.0? I'm trying to find a way since 30mins...

The threaded SMS is more like MS' "Me Too" answer to Palm and Iphone that WM now also support threaded SMS native to the OS. It will win the heart of some die hard Palm fan (like myself).

So there is no way to deactivate it? I like it too, but sometime when my inbox is full I would like to send the SMS' to subfolders like before.

In the mean time, i have tried all Cooked WM6.1 and so far i though there is no big benefit using it.
- Battery drain is a little bit faster than wm6
- Threaded SMS is very annoying since cannot move to another folder and cannot be backed up.

So from my opinion, it is better to stick with WM 6

I love threaded sms - it's a great improvement over normal texting for me.

I am not making any complaint to all the great men cooking great roms.

If the 6.1 roms are not good (enough), it is only because the OS 6.1 is not good enough and maybe a next version (built) will solve a lot of problems which are no floating around on this forum.

In my case, 6.1 solved many issues. My biggest was losing calls back in 6.0. I was ready to sell my mobile, but when I upgraded to 6.1, everything worked fine-Faster - no problems at all! Now I'm gonna keep my good old S200!!
