Being a non T-Mobile person I went through a lot of pain unbranding it, love the new changes in WM6 but it's bloated beyong belief. I have seen numerous spelling mistakes in the registry and carriers brandings everywhere. The phone seems to use a lot more memory on a fresh boot as well. *sigh* guess I have to wait for the WM6 ROM from HTC and don't take any shortcuts.

AGREED !!

here's one among many typo !! :eek: :eek:

JOGGR registry folder ...

HKCU\ControlPanel\JogBar\Settings\ResotreDefaultSettings

I also went back to WM5, simply because I couldn't function without the "voice tags" feature ...

I thought things were supposed to "IMPROVED" as you upgraded ... not "CRIPPLED" !!! :eek: :eek:

It's not that bad...

I do find myself having to actively manage memory in WM6 a bit more than I did in WM5...but I had to manage WM5 daily anyway. So really, it's just a bit more of the same. Instead of 1-2 reboots a day in WM5, it's more like 1-3 reboots a day in WM6.

WM6 bloated? Which MS operating system that is NOT bloated? :cool:

LOL!

What ?? do you work for MS or something ?? :rolleyes:

The point is ... "T-Mobile WM6" like the thread started ... so I blame the whole collaboration :D --->> T-Mobile + MS + JOGGR developer !!!

whatever !!

point is ... a lot of tidy up and double checking before final release should have been done ...etc

This is the responsibility of the quality assurance testers & project managers at T-Mobile. They apparently missed some pretty big things on the wm6 launch.

However, I do agree that it's not a Microsoft problem... it's an HTC problem.
