Nice upgrade
I wish I could upgrade my Windows Mobile 6 Pro on my xv6800 to this OS. But still, you mean to tell me there is no support for Flash material on the Net? For shame. And by the way, if you want a better web surfing experience for the internet browser, just go to Handango.com ( or on your smartphone ) and download SPB Mobile Plus. Not only will it change the interface of the device, but it will allow you to scroll web pages around by touching and dragging anywhere on the screen. It doesn't has a zoom feature but that's OK by me.

Disappointing
There is nothing in WM6.1 that excites me at all. The browser still sucks. Threaded SMS looks crude as compared to third party product from the likes of Vito SMS chat. Task Manager and switcher is a joke compared to free software Wktask. Still does'nt play youtube videos.

I see no reason to upgrade at all from WM6.

deeman...there are several 6.1 roms out for the titan, check around xda and ppcgeeks and youll find a lot of info.

the threaded text, while basic, offers everything youd really need and it alone is enough to upgrade. it also seems to handle memory better, and users of lower memory phones (like the titan, for example) seem to be noticing more free memory and overall better performance.

To anonymous..
What really ticks me off about the xv6800 is that there is very little support for it from Verizon Wireless. Hell, they don't even sell the screen protectors for it. A friend of mine works for them and ordered it on the employee site. He said that it is the ONLY phone that doesn't appear in the listing for available accessories. Too many times, you have to go to third party sites to get something ... like the sites you are giving me. I just wish VZW and HTC supported the xv6800 better than they do before I even think about moving to Windows 6.1.

Uhh.
Windows is so utterly ugly. I'm a PC/windows user, and i cannot wait until MAC domination of the entire world - at least that way there will be no more grey and gloom. Roll on WM9!

Thanks

Is the update to WM6.1 only applies for US HTC Touch Dual?
I'm in Indonesia and I can't download the software.

When I wanna download it in the HTC website, they ask me to put in my HTC's serial number. I did but then it appears
'Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device.'

My phone is definitely HTC Touch Dual, how come I can't download the WM6.1

Anyone can answer my question?

"MAC domination of the entire world..." Mycall is too funny. I have heard that from anti-establishment Apple idiots since the original MAC was first released. Guess what? The MAC is still not dominant and never will be. There are lots of good reasons for that, but I guess some people just keeping wishing fairies and unicorns are real. (Actually, there is more a chance someone will some day find a real unicorn than there is that MAC would ever dominate the world.)
