Windows Mobile 6.5 Disappoints
Here are some things missing in Windows Mobile 6.5
When Windows Mobile 6.1 came out last year, there wasn’t much there for touch screen phones. However, 6.1 made the non-touch smartphone 1000 times more user friendly with the sliding panels and fluid Home screen. 6.5 brings touchability and ease of use to touch screen devices.
Here are some finger friendly improvements to menus that should have been there in 6.1. Opera Mobile looks to still have the better web browser when compared to the new Internet Explorer Mobile 6.
Here are some things missing in Windows Mobile 6.5:
- HTC, Samsung, and Sony Ericsson’s UI customizations still seem better (don’t forget you can even use Spb Mobile Shell to get this kind of custom UI and they are showing off version 3.0 at MWC too)
- Still using resistive touch screens while the Pre, Google Android, and iPhone have capacitive touch friendly displays. Capacitive is much more user friendly and intuitive.
- No or limited upgradeability for existing high end, expensive devices
- No visual voicemail feature
- No real-time syncing solution for the consumer (Apple has Mobile Me, Nokia has Ovi Sync, Android has Google, etc.). Exchange support is still the best on the market, but requires YOU to have corporate or hosted Exchange account.
