WM6 vs WM5

ZootHornRollo

Hi,

does anyone have windows mobile 6 device yet?

how does it compare to a WM5 device?

Is there a big increase in function/usability?

i am currently trying to decide between an Orange SPV M700 or wait for the HTC P4550 when it is released (in june by the looks of it), the price of the P4550 may also be a stumbling block as i have seen sim free preorder prices well over £500 whereas the M700 is available on a £35 contract for free but i don't want to be stuck with a crap device for 18 months.

I originally wanted an Eten Glofiish M700 but so many complaints on various forums have put me off.

any opinions/advice welcomed.

it seems that wm6 extra function is mainly MS Exchange based.

Pretty much all the changes from 2003 have either been cosmetic or connectivity changes. varying the start menu etc and connecting to exchange and the office to make them more useable as a tool in conjunction with your pc.

I use WM5 and will for a few more months as it isnt always the best thing to go out and upgrade as soon as microsoft release the new system.
