From the video, the WinMo 6.1's sliding panel looks quite cool, at least better than the boring HTC home, I think. Why I can't find anything like that on my Kaiser after the WinMo 6.1 update? Does it only exist on the WinMo 6.1 Standard? It's pity that we can't see the awasome sliding panel running on our Kaiser.

I believe the sliding panels interface is for the smartphone only, not PocketPC
Only for Windows Mobile Standard.. Not Professional. I have been wanting this as well. We just need a hacker to rip it and make an installer. (easily said)

Any ideas on date?
What about the "Operating System Windows Mobile® 6.1 Professional" part???
Typo I would guess.

Because WM 6.1 is the only OS available If they were going to list anticipated products that it might come with, then why not just put, it comes with Windows Mobile 7 Professional
Upgrading to Windows Mobile 6.5: We know of a few phones that will be upgradable from 6.1 to 6.5, and Microsoft is clarifying this position a little. Mainly in that if they meet a minimum hardware standard — 128MB RAM, 400 MHz processor — they may be available for an upgrade. But that's still up to the partners (read: Manufacturers/carriers) to choose to do so.

It would be AWESOME if we can upgrade to windows mobile 6.5, and so be able to use marketplace. We need 128MB RAM and 400MHZ processor, which means our Diamond should be suitable for 6.5!
Doubt it, but unofficially; yes we will get 6.5 on our phones. But we will not thank HTC for that.
Well yes, ofcourse we will be able to receive 6.5.
But i hope HTC will make it official for Diamond users. But i dont think that will happen...
I hope so too, but let's be honest: if it wasn't for the good folks here at xda-devs, our phones would be pretty mediocre. So I don't see it happening officially. But I'd be very happy to be proven wrong.
The Touch Diamond does not conform to the WM 6.5 specs, HTC are not allowed to release it for the Diamond.
Perhaps we should start an online petition to get HTC to bring WM6.5 to the Touch Diamond officially.
Windows Mobile 6.5 MIGHT be available for Diamond!
Yes it will be.. but some advanced featured will be unavailable..

which features do you mean?
I thought no hardware Start key = No WM 6.5?
Funny that the previous generation phones had hardware Start/OK then they stopped putting them on after the iPhone came out.

It is handy to have the Start Key but that is not a showstopper. Having said that I do miss the many hardware buttons that were available back in the days of Hermes.
I believe the MS home key is required to allow htc to put wm6.5 on their devices. So I don't think there will be any official upgrade for the diamond or any phone that doesn't have this key. Also MS wants to change the name 'smartphone' to windows mobile phone :S Don't think this applies to the Diamond though but still..
What I'm still wondering is if tf3d2 will be available on the HTC update of wm6.5 on the diamond2..
this would be awesome to have 6.5 on my phone

I heard this too, but then practically no phones would be able to upgrade, and wouldn't the dude in the quote at the start have mentioned that?
Diamond and WM 6.5
I think any hardware key can be set as Windows Key, it's simply a software setting; it needs only mapping it in the ROM.
The new phones is coming with full touch screen, Microsoft is very stupid to pretend a special hardware key!!!!!

Hi. Anybody can list the key features that are different between 6.5 and 6.1 from user point of view?
I have a CDMA HTC Diamond with WM6.1. Don't know it is worth it to flash it to 6.5.
Thanks
I'm looking for some utility, which would create a virtual serial port on "new" GDP port in Windows Mobile 6.5. I'd like to use older GPS application, where is no support for GDP port.
My friend tested GpsGate and he's very disappointed, because there was huge battery consummation even if GPS is not used. I tried to google it, but I found nothing useful :-(
Thanks a lot
