HTC is the best thing to happen to Windows Mobile

HTC is the best thing to happen to Windows Mobile

Let’s all face it; Windows mobile has had some negative press and reviews. And many would like to believe that Windows Mobile 6.5 is nothing more than an interim step on the way to Windows Mobile 7. Sure we are all disappointed in the delays but let’s not forget and lose sight that Windows Mobile 6.5 also has some nice features as well that have taken the operating system to a new level. A quick look at the comparison of versions for Windows Mobile provides some of the features 6.5 offers:

The new Today screen in Windows Mobile 6.5 makes it easy to get to the information that matters most to you with a touch of your finger.
Customize your phone by re-skinning it with exclusive themes designed by well known artists and fashion designers. Or, create your own theme on your PC and have it sent right to your phone.
The new lock screen displays new messages and appointments without requiring you to enter a PIN when the phone is locked, and still provides access to critical functions—like mute, speakerphone, and hold—while you’re on a call.
The new MSN Widgets provide real-time information on weather and stocks.
The NewBreak Lite RSS feed reader lets you keep up to date on your favorite blogs and news sites. Stay informed even when you’re out on the town.
Expand your phone’s horizons—find and download the latest apps for your phone.
The new Conversation View gathers multiple e-mails into a single threaded view for easy reading.
You can quickly access previously used names when writing new e-mails—no more scrolling through contacts.
New icons identify which e-mails have been forwarded and replied to, helping you manage your inbox.
View web sites as they were meant to be viewed with full Flash support.
New navigation tools let you move through web pages with ease.
Now you can search directly from your address bar just by typing in the search term.
The new auto complete feature suggests words and even sites to speed up your browsing.
You can now choose between mobile view (enhanced for display on phones) or full desktop view, depending on your immediate viewing needs.
The new gesture support lets you quickly scroll through contacts, web pages, and other screens with simple, intuitive taps, clicks, and drags.

As Tony Bradley of PC World pointed out that “It is a solid operating system with innovative features, but may fall victim to negative publicity and ultimately may go down in history as the dud Microsoft released before Windows Mobile 7 emerged to save the day.” And that “HTC has always been one of the best things going for the Windows Mobile operating system. Whatever the Windows Mobile operating system may lack is often more than compensated for by the hardware and software designs that HTC builds around it. The HTC Pure is no exception.”

VERY TRUE. For the past 8 years Hewlett Packard and a couple other players just kept it in the cave ages.
But HTC appears in the scene and has the guts to stick to WM at a time all the other OS where where placing obituaries for WM.
Today all the WM fans and Microsoft must be thank HTC for the achievement.

HTC is my favorite phone manufacturer.
It is completely true that HTC has helped WinMo greatly, and I am thankful for that.

I put WM 6.5 on my wife's Diamond 2 and configured it to use the 6.5 interface. At the end of the day she angrily gave the phone back to me and told me the interface was a pain and threatened me if I didn't stop screwing with her phone. I put Mobile Shell back on and she's happy again. Mobile Shell is the best thing to happen to Windows Mobile Phones. HTC's hardware and a lot of their software are important too, but Mobile Shell is the closest thing to having a Windows Phone 7 right now.
