    Windows Mobile 6.5

    I recently picked up a touch pro 2 for myself and iv been playing with some 6.5 ROMs from XDA developers.

    Now, the Rhodium has a slide out keyboard which works for the standard 6.5 ROM, but i find it very plain. Just the list of icons and scrolling up/down seems like a really lazy upgrade from 6.1 to me.

    As a result iv been toying with the Manilla 2.1/2.5 series of ROMS, which whilst looking fantastic, dont support the slide out keyboard, making the phone only semi-usable & down right embarrassing when people have a play with the phone themselves.



    I dont spose anyone has found any good ROMs in the middle, usability of the standard 6.5, whilst the looks of Manilla 2.1/2.5?


    cheers guys!

    Re: Windows Mobile 6.5

    itje did some roms for the x1 with slide support

    I switched back from 6.5.1 to 6.1 with SPB Mobile Shell, I find the UI is nicer and less of a memory hog so the system is faster and more responsive
