Regretfully I see the usual issues: the upgrade is not available to customers; MS still place the buyers at the mercy of hardware manifacturers (they mak profit selling hardware, do not they?) therefore few lucky people will be able to upgrade exisiting devices. Even worse in the ancient and obsolete US market, the one still ruled by Carriers, the chances to see 6.1 available to users are even slimmer.
Finally it seems that these "enhancements" will not be available until the end of 2008; sorry guys but this should have been available at least 1 year ago.
I used WM since Motorola shipped MPx200, I have used all the other releases of the OS and I got more and more frustrated by the lack of innovation and the worsening in both performances and usability.
Finally I switch to the iPhone and so far I do not miss WM; it looks I will be able to sync it with Exchange and use PocketInformant well before WM 6.1 will be available and this shows how slowly MS is trying to catch up.
Sure when WM 7 will be out I will check it and if it is good I will switch back; and I will do it again and again because phones OSes are not article of faith, just tools.
