Windows Mobile 6.5 is the latest offering from Microsoft. It’s the touch screen phones which are going to benefit most out of it. The latest mobile OS has still not released. And you may also have to buy a new unit as it will have very limited upgrade options. In such a sad scenario, indeed there is something to be happy about, however, this is going to need you to be a bit techy.
XDA developers have come out with several modded versions of the WM 6.5 ROM. You can grab any of them and install it right on your HTC Windows Mobile phone. However, there is a limited list of HTC phones models that have had the privilege of running WM 6.5 right before its release. Some of those HTC phones include – HTC Touch Diamond, CDMA Touch and Pro, Touch HD, HTC Vogue. Although these ROMs are unofficial but they have the same genuine UI experience that you will have with the official release. The entire shell of Windows Mobile has been refreshed which now offer larger buttons for easy finger touch function and scrolling features and much more.
There is a interesting post about installing Windows Mobile 6.5 at Gizmodo which explains in a very simple and step by step manner the entire process of the new ROM installation. This post has been inspired from the various XDA threads and thus, has the actual information juiced out all those threads that will otherwise have you totally confused if you are not very techy. This post is good for people who are not much into ROM installations but have fair amount of knowledge about Smartphone’s technicality.
