*UPDATE: 1/31/09*
Some bad news people. The beta was scheduled to be released later this very Saturday afternoon, with only a few minor touches to be added. However, as of this morning, my AT&T Tilt no longer works. It cannot turn on, and when I plug it it to charge, I get the red light of death. Therefore, wmVista Public Beta will have to be temporarily postponed until either the Tilt has been fixed, or until I purchase a new windows mobile 6 phone. Either of these options should be completed within one to two weeks into February. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Ok, well let's not all start crying about not being spoon fed our free software on time! It will be ready when its ready, and it will still be free! I am sorry to hear about your tilt Trent! PM me if I can help in any way!Oh, no! Surely not another broken device just as the releaser was about to publish the software.
These phones seem to have a knack of failing at the crucial moment!

Well before that goes any farther! No need to be so defensive! I apologize if you are hurt over that comment, I am just tired of everyone complaining about free software not being done on their time schedual! I meant no offence to you personaly!You must be American, irony chip removed at birth!
Get over yourself, I am sure Trent will get the job done...with, or without your tongue in his arse!

Wow! Realy, you just said that? Wow!yeah most likely a fake application written in C++ to look like a vista OS on a wmphone but really no functionality at all.

Red light of death fixed!!! (sticky???)
I think I just figured out how to fix it!!!!!!! I was tinkering around and got my red light brick to turn on!!!! I'm not sure exactly what fixed it so here's everything I did-
1. Removed the storage & sim cards.
2. Took off the backplate.
3. Removed the battery.
4. Bent these 2 pins up a little bit:
5. Put the battery in at an angle, so that the power leads were connected, but the metal shielding plate on the back of the battery was not touching:
6. Hit the power button (with the battery still "halfway" installed) Bam, green light of life.
Somebody please confirm this. Meanwhile I'll be copywriting this process so anyone who performs it owes me 10 bucks

I really have to agree with Cal-El on this one I mean come on! Of course its real you don't know how to watch a video on youtube i guess huh?
It's about as likely to happen as your "pomegranate" project!
No one is moaning about not getting the free software, most of it never gets used more than a couple of times. They are nearly, and I stress nearly, all gimmicks that are so buggy that they get consigned to the recycle bin in a matter of hours anyway. We all love aesthetically pleasing front ends but without proper functionality they are useless. I personnally adore Vista, always have done, this would be the perfect software for my Kaiser but I always take these "out of the blue" releases with a pinch of salt...my post was not meant as a personal attack but being a sinical Englishman I tend to look at things I can actually flash to the phone rather than "net hype".
I am sure we will all be running this in a couple of weeks, if so I'll come back here, give you a public apology and a big hug!
