Should I get a WinMo 6.1 phone with the intention of upgrading it later?

I'm confused, engaget said this:

"Sadly, Microsoft's saying that no devices in the market today will receive official 6.5 updates"

[Edited on June 4, 2009 at 11:58 AM. Reason : the phones i'm looking at all say that they will be 6.5 ready.]

Grandmaster is running it and keeps telling me to give it a shot - i've been a slacker so far though

my little bro had it on his htc diamond about 6 weeks ago when he came to visit and it was polished enough to use but not 100% reliable then

i'd recommend trying it - even if you don't like it you can always change the rom out pretty easily

I'm using this guy's rom (6.5 v2.2 heavy) on my Titan and so far it's satisfying. I haven't messed around with it enough to break many things yet though. I was fully expecting it to run like trash with 64MB, but it's built with high memory mode (nuekernel) and I have about 25 free on boot and 18 throughout the day. The honeycomb menu is fluid and does not lag.

I'm weighing getting a winmo phone just to run the beta. i really don't care for 6.1.

that's really not on my list of priorities. the biggest thing is landscape typing and cut/paste, but you have to wait for v3, which seems incredibly stupid (though i don't know their reasoning) on their part not to have included it upon release.

it's a nice phone, but there are just some things like that, that irk me. plus i don't need all the apps and whatnot. i just need internet, texting and a good phone. i

Is there a good free app out there for Windows Mobile 6 that will enables threaded text messaging?

6/4/2009 6:58:25 PM

yes. it might even be a registry tweak. it's enabled by default on every rom that i've cooked or loaded.

if it works on windows 6.1 that would be great.

it works on 6.1 google threaded sms 6.1
