Windows Mobile 6.5.3(.3) build 28205

The main source of all our new WM6.5 builds has returned, releasing a new build to celebrate the new year! The base files can be got from here, and chefs including myself will most likely be uploading ROMs shortly with the new builds.

Whilst 600MB of ROMs upload, I thought I’d take the opportunity to delve into the OS. Generally, nothing has changed since 28014, though it seems Internet Explorer is slightly more snappy. There are some downsides, such as massive memory usage and slow loading.

Some of the standard controls have also seen an update, though it’s nothing amazing. The checkboxes have now been vaguely coloured rather than being plain black crosses.

Hopefully we’ll see things like a new media player and Tasks program which are both in dire need of an upgrade!
