Last weekend I flashed my HTC Touch Diamond from the default ROM with Windows Mobile 6.1 to a custom ROM from XDA-Developers with Windows Mobile 6.5. XDA-Developers is a site where developers try to get the best out of their HTC Devices, mostly running Windows Mobile. My first impression of this custom rom and Windows Mobile 6.5 was… WOW! It really improved, okay its not Android or the iPhone but its a lot better then the standard WM6.1 Professional.

So whats new in Windows Mobile 6.5:

• The new start menu
• New today plugin
• New lock screen
• Menu’s have been redesigned
• Pocket Internet Explorer, its comparable to Opera Mobile now
• MyPhone, although its also available for other versions

I really enjoyed it, but since HTC didnt release an own Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM its still pretty buggy. Im sure it cause of the custom rom, not because of Windows Mobile 6.5
