I would like to inform you, that MOST WM6.5 roms allow you to just "flick" your finger from left to right (or vice versa) to move between the tabs. This seems to be a WM6.5 feature only.

The latest ROM from XDA: build 23004! Not 21925!!!
Reftheking @ Jul 20th 2009 1:59PM
They're 2 different branchs. 21925 is for testing, the 23007 is a com3 i beleive. So many features from 21925 are not on 23007 and may never be...

Sweet, not sure if I want to go to 23007 or 21926... Thanks for the explanation though! Was searching xda / ppcgeeks for it.

Wow ! Windows mobile took 2 years to understand that we want more finger friendly devices... Is it so hard to developpe a good User Interface ? Chome was a good beginning but they are still so far behind the Iphone...

What is "Chome"? If you mean Chrome, that's not a mobile phone OS; that's Android's role.

lol fail moron
PhilR8 @ Jul 20th 2009 12:04PM
No, he meant "CHome", pronounced "C Home". It's the name of the Zune-like today screen for WM6.5 touchscreen devices. It's already implemented on the non-touchscreen WM6.1 devices.

This is fine as long as there are only two or three tabs. If there are four or maybe five, it's harder to use because you can't see the names of the other tabs now.
It's not like it was hard to touch tabs in WM 6.1, either; just use your fingernail. The hard part was the little scroll arrows on dialogs with more than four or five tabs. That's where flicking becomes quite useful.

@Steve
He did mean CHome: it's the Titanium Today Plugin for Windows Mobile 6.5
@rafalplus03
Actually, the latest build is 23007
All of the latest builds are on their way to Windows Mobile 6.5.1 which is apparently going to see some serious under-the-hood changes and finger-friendly updates.

Ah, thanks, Josh. That pesky capital H made the difference. :)

Now the newest is 23008 (Miri v24.0)
Peter F @ Jul 19th 2009 8:46PM
downloading an XDA rom with this build for my kaiser now!
Bill @ Jul 20th 2009 11:58AM
build it all you want, WM still sucks.
even with my custom rom, yes, I said it.

What will be the reason to use WinMo these days? As far as I'm concerned, it is NONE!
