- It's obvious the Windows Mobile OS developers are working faster than the PC OS developers. As far as I remember, WM5 only came out last year right? It's a bit too quick for WM6 IMO. Software companies are only recently starting to get their products WM5 compatible. TomTom 6 was only released a few months ago, which was fully WM5 compatible.

I thought it was released mid '05. That makes it at least 2 years between versions when it's released.

- I recently picked up a t-mobile dash, does anyone know if t-mobile or other carriers will allow us to update wm5 to wm6 over the air or otherwise?
Among the most visible changes is the ability to type in a few letters of a song, contact or e-mail subject and have the phone automatically show only matching results. The software also supports HTML e-mail. But for Exchange messages to be viewable in that form, a company also has to have Exchange 2007, the new version of Microsoft's e-mail server software.
Windows Mobile 6 also builds in support for Windows Live instant messaging and e-mail, which enables users to see whether a contact is online and to get their Hotmail or Windows Live Mail messages pushed down automatically.
