Default First impressions of Windows Mobile 2003 for i600?
For those of you who have upgraded . . .

What are your first impressions of the upgrade? Do you like? Are you getting better battery life? Is life good?

Menu's pop a little quicker. Haven't tried the new PIE or Inbox yet. WMP looks like it has a new UI. There's now a speed Dial option (was there one before?) and of course a new game. Just did the upgrade about 30 minutes ago. Was fairly easy as long as you pay attention to the instructions :wink:

I now have WM2003 on my phone (the PDA side upgrade, apparently not the Phone side upgrade).

The phone is _so_ much more responsive. It's like the difference between a sluggish, half-though-out device, and a good one.

The only sluggishness I get now is trying to make a phone call while a web page is loading. When I press and hold "1," it takes a few seconds to get things together. Sometimes.

But I love the fact that I can be on the Internet and still send and receive calls.

Anyone else notice that it takes a while for the call to disconnect after hanging up? Sometimes it takes two to three button presses before I see it disconnect.

Wierd.

Aside from that, the whole thing feels a bit faster plus I can run @sat (orbiter tracking program that wouldn't work with 2002) on it now.

All the themes that I used in 2002 are working in 2003. I have been using Kleinweder's themes and theme generator.

you can still use those themes, you just have to manually load them onto the phone, the MS theme generator will not load them.

Where would I find Kleinweder's theme generator?

I am getting a "Speed dial was broken and has been repaired" message quite frequently when using that feature... Anyone else?
