Jason, that stinks that you haven't been able to get your hands on an official version of WM6.5. Microsoft really blew it there.

I've been one of the ones running the XDA-Developers cooked ROMs and I have to say, for a facelift, WM6.5 is pretty decent. Yes, it is barely more than skin deep, but it is an improvement.

The really sad part is that 6.5 wasn't released two years ago! What has MS been doing all of this time?? We should all be running WM 7 right now, looking forward to the imminent release of 8.0, which would push the limits of what can be done on a mobile platform, leaving iPhone and BB and the others in the dust.

Instead, we're hanging on to the facelift on a dinosaur with WM 7, which will supposedly catch up with the others (but probably not surpass them in any meaningful way) promised for *maybe* sometime next year, or more likely the year after.

Microsoft has really screwed the pooch on WM. Very disappointing.
