Default Windows 6.1

It's up to us to bother Alltel to push it out to us!

For all those that are interested. Windows has released Windows Mobile 6.1! Some enhancements include:

* Copy / Paste (finally!)
* Domain Enroll in Settings (Enrolling in a domain will connect your device with company resources.)
* New home screen (pan left and right to check out missed calls, notifications like email, sms, etc.)
* Change Master Security Code
* Added text input settings
* Recent Programs when pressing Start menu
* Threaded SMS!
* When you compose an email, or SMS, and start typing the name of the contact in the "To:" field, the contact names finally pop up like Windows Mobile Professional!
* Internet Explorer now lets you define a homepage, and also zoom in and out using a nice and clean interface

Anyway, if you are interested in getting this functionality added to your WM6 device, we need to petition Alltel to add this. It is up to the carrier to release updates to the users, we cannot directly download from Windows...we need an official Alltel ROM. So please email ecare if you want this!!

Here is the article: http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/03/w...ured-detailed/

*Edit* Here is some updated info!
  • Task Manager now shows CPU usage as a whole, and also lists it by process
  • Internet Explorer offers 6 zoom modes and copy / paste functionality
  • IE also uses a new font, which looks worlds better
  • ActiveSync will now try to automatically configure your Exchange settings once you enter an email address
  • Wi-Fi indicator in the status bar, just as in Windows Mobile Professional
  • New "Vista" home screen and theme
