Windows Mobile 6.5 update for HTC Touch Pro2

When is the Windows Mobile 6.5 update coming for Verizon Wireless HTC Touch Pro2? Some rumors say that we should see something by the end of November. I don't mind waiting since the update to 6.5 won't really bring any significant improvements. The main benefit will be the update to Internet Explorer Mobile (Pocket IE).

Motorola Droid

The Motorola Droid is coming to Verizon Wireless and it will probably be the first smartphone running Google Android.

Windows Mobile 6.5 on the XV6800 (HTC Titan, Sprint Mogul)

The XV6800 is an old smartphone, but there are still many people out there who are using this phone and they're looking for an upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.5

The Verizon XV6800 is also known as the HTC Titan, the Sprint Mogul, the PPC 6800, and several other names. I have an XV6800 and I've been running a custom ROM built on Windows Mobile 6.5

Don't expect to see any major improvements.
Don't expect to see any speed or performance enhancements.

The only major improvement is in Internet Explorer Mobile (IE Mobile).

BlackBerry Storm 2 to be released in October

Yes, I believe the rumors out there. We should be seeing an updated version of the BlackBerry Storm this month. Let's hope it has more internal Flash RAM.

Windows Mobile 6.5 is a disappointment

It seems like many people agree that Windows Mobile 6.5 is a disappointment. I've been using Windows Mobile 6.5 for several months, so I forgot how it compared to 6.1. To be honest, 6.5 really doesn't offer much especially in smartphones made by HTC that integrate TouchFlo. In other smartphones made by Samsung and other companies, I think the update to 6.5 will improve finger touch-input and navigation, but you'll still need a stylus for certain applications.

Windows Mobile 6.5 disappoints

My colleagues now have the Touch Pro2

I went around recommending the Touch Pro2 to everyone, and now many of my colleagues who use Verizon Wireless have gotten the Touch Pro2. I'm eager to see what other new smartphones come out this fall on the Verizon network. For now, the Touch Pro2 is at the top of the list.

HTC Imagio coming to Verizon

The HTC Imagio is coming to Verizon this month. Looking forward to seeing other Windows Mobile phones on Verizon. I'm still using the HTC Touch Pro2 and I really like it.

Could I live without the hardware keyboard? Probably. However, the keyboard really typing much more efficient when I'm doing a lot of typing.
