Mobile-review.com
gets their hands on a copy of
Windows Mobile 6.0. In what will be a disappointment to many Windows Mobile users out there,
Mobile-review.com wasn't too terribly impressed with the new operating system
and stated that its moniker should instead be "Windows Mobile 5.0 Second
Edition." There is a dearth of truly all-new features and Windows Mobile 6.0
instead looks like a warmed over refresh destined to play nice with new
Microsoft offerings like Windows Vista, Office 2007 and Exchange 2007. Many of
the changes are superficial including new 3D icons that mimic Windows Vista and
new system sounds.
To the dismay of many, however, there's still no true "close"
button for applications as the operating continues to rely on "Smart
Minimizing." On the other hand, Microsoft has seen fit to include native VoIP
support, Smart Dial 2.0 (fast and efficient contact searching) and HTML support
for emails (finally).
