I've been playing with Windows Mobile 6.1 for the last few days, so thought I'd share some of my favourite features.
Today screen - minus Exchange E-mail/calendar (see below)

Office Mobile
Yeah this has been there for a while, but it now supports Office 2007 file formats out-of-the-box.
Once I get the right adapter for VGA output from my phone - I'm aiming to do customer presentations from my phone :)
Hi there. I notice from some of your videos etc you've been using the treo 750 for a while now. Tell me, if you were able to replace it right now with another handset, would you stick withthe 750, or go to a different handset? A lot of Microsofties and partners I've bumped in to over the past six months seem to be using Samsung Blackjacks. Would you choose that, or something else? What's your current preference for the phone - don't you find it too thick, or do you like the strong processor and the palm-modified windows mobile?
Hi Hilary,
Yes I've had the Treo 750 for about 7 or 8 months now and am very happy with it.
My previous phone was a Samsung Blackjack (running WM5 - WM6 wasn't available when I had it) which was a great phone - it was thinner, lighter and had much better battery life (using the extended battery).
However I find that the Treo, although slightly larger, is "nicer" to use. The screen is bigger, it is a touch-screen, and I find the keyboard nicer to use (I have large fingers).
The Palm-modified version of WM doesn't do much for me, and personally I prefer WM Standard to Professional (less key-presses to perform phone actions). At the time my major reason for changing phone was that WM6 was available for the Treo before the Blackjack.
Oh and the Treo came with a car charger - I only charge when driving :)
how did you get wm6.1 for your 750? I have 90 treo 750s, all plagued by memory problems. Hoping 6.1 will fix the problems. Palm tells me they havent "announced" 6.1 for the Treo 750.
Correct this isn't an official Palm release - it is a test build I obtained internally.
Unfortunately I'm not sure when Palm will official announce 6.1 availability, but hopefully not too long!
Re memory problems - my phone does "seem" more stable with this build than it did with 6.0, although I don't have any data or metrics to back that up.
I'ld like to try the version you're using, since my treo750 has the "touchscreen problem" I'ld like to see if this version resolve that problem that make's me nuts...could you tell me how to obtain that?
Thanks...
You'll have to contact Palm to get updated WM builds for your Treo.
After a lot of whining, begging and stalking DonK, I finally managed to get my hands on a loaner Palm
If it is not going to be available why brag about ie
Brag about what? I was showing Windows Mobile 6.1 features. Windows Mobile 6.1 *is* available now.
It would be good to get my hands on 6.1, i have a 750 as well
Can i get a link to this 6.1 version. I have a 750 as well and I love it. I just dont want to contact palm. Thanks!
Just contacted palm support, they have no knowledge of any plan to release 6.1 for the 750. :(
