No Need to Wait Months for Windows Mobile 6.5
By James • Feb 22nd, 2009 • Category: UncategorizedMicrosoft is currently creating lots of buzz about its new Windows Mobile 6.5 operating system. The company claims that the new incarnation of Windows Mobile platform will bring an intuitive user interface with feature rich web browsing experience. The new mobile platform also boasts of its new My Phone service that is expected to offer the users an easy way to backup and sync their mobile data to the web. That’s quite impressive but the main issue is that the mobile phones based on the Windows Mobile 6.5 will take another few months to hit the consumer market.
But is it really necessary to wait for such a long time? It’s not, especially when you are ready to sacrifice a good looking hexagonal type navigation dashboard. If you are only concerned with the back up services and multimedia rich web browsing experience then you have excellent alternatives for that. You can simply choose Dashwire, the popular free data backup service for Windows Mobile 5 and 6 phones like the HTC S740. The Dashwire application can sync your call log, texts, contacts, photos, videos and ring tones to an online dashboard.
For multimedia rich web browsing experience it’s better to download Opera Mobile or Skyfire instead of waiting for the revamped Microsoft Internet Explorer. The latest version of Skyfire has got built-in Flash 10, Silverlight 2.0 and Quicktime to play media directly from the browser. On the other hand, the Opera Mobile has got the same icon based navigation system that is incorporated in the new IE and works fine with the current version of Windows Mobile.
