It was kind of a 3-d type scrolling cube from the today screen. worked similar to I-pod type OS. but when I looked into the properties of my buddies phone it said 6.5 I was like wtf. that isn't even out yet. Said a guy at the phone store did it for him. (lol) but I live several hundreds of miles away, so no upgrade for me. If anyone knows where to find this 3-d wm 6.5 please let me know by e-mail tnluv865@aol.com thanks for all the responses, Sincerely John D.

I've found other sites where the flash roms are and some of them say for verizon, sprint, blah blah blah. They do mention somewhere that the phone should be unlocked though. I am currently running the original flash rom from this page, I never updated to the "Real" winmo 6.1 and my phone runs absolutely fine. So, if I install the 6.5 update will my phone still work even though it isn't "unlocked". I bought it from the carrier. Let me know what you guys find. Anyways, here's some links john, maybe you can find more info than I did. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=65434 http://www.everythingwm.com/forum/marketplace/wts-vzw-xv6900-unlocked-to-wm-6-5-a-35141.html try 'em. tell me what's good :D Hi guys I posted on here a while ago and I was just notified by john’s post about the new winmo 6.5 leak.

I really like the black/white/red contrast and i'd be upset if windows mobile 6.1 changed that. Thanks! Hey, can anyone tell me if this upgrade changes the home screen on the phone?

I tried the registry change with Hex for address and everything but it's not working. My PDEport was 8888 before and I changed it to 8889 as the link suggested. What is going on here? The navigation helped big time. I was lost in a very dangerous neighborhood once and it navigate me out in minutes :). Guys,

Possibly a hard-reset would fix it? Hard-resets will delete EVERYTHING on your device! (data on storage cards will be retained) To hard-reset, with the device turned on, hold SEND and END and then with the stylus press and release the reset button--while continuing to hold SEND and END. You will then receive instructions to reset the device. Wow, that’s a new one–I’ve never heard of that. Possibly a hard-reset would fix it? Hard-resets will delete EVERYTHING on your device!
