The new update to Windows mobile 6.5 will be coming on end of September or early October...hope it will fix the current bugs and improve the camera & video recording quality... :D

Too bad we can't ask the bloggers at AI to do a dump of the ROM and let us Flash ours to 6.5 :D

Guess we'll have to wait till Sept/Oct.

Anyone seen this.... http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/windows...ruary-to-coexi/

If it's true, then there will be two versions of 6.5, non touch October 1st. And 6.5 touch in February 2010? What the hell are Microsoft doing? So i guess the question to ask is, do we get one of the upgrades or both?

Where is the transparent top and bottom bars?

This looks exactly like 6.1! I am begining to worry...

The transparent top and bottom bars must be activated by the home-plugin, so it doesnt show because samsung dont want it...

Samsung replaced nearly everything of windows mobile with samsung touchwiz 2.0 so you cant see the diffrents from 6.1 and 6.5...

The big changes will come with 6.5.1 in February...

@ciboonia:

On October 1st... Windows Mobile 6.5 comes out officially...

But in February 2010 there will come a touch-patch which will optimice the UI for better touch...

so what does this win 6.5 upgrade will do for us?

new OS, new set of bugs and starting the cycle for nothing?

6.5 hasnt really changed much. the rtm version was actually very stable and improved over 6.1.

however the version currently know as 6.5.1 is a totally different animal. Its not too bad though, MS seems to be doing a good job at it, but the build which are currently leaking are pretty buggy.
