Windows Mobile 6.1: Part 2
19 comments
Filed in Windows Mobile, Exclusives, Features
You might have remembered our detailed coverage of Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard a few months back. Our Motorola Q9 with Wi-Fi came with it, and we’ve just received a new Motorola Q9 with Wi-Fi, and it’s got some updated Windows Mobile 6.1 goodies in it! Here’s a quick breakdown of the new features:
- Support for AT&T’s Video Share
- New thumbnail browsing
- New Albums feature
- Send to your space (upload to your Windows Live account)
- Updated camera UI
- Updated home screen (more music and multimedia features)
- TV out
While the new added enhancements aren’t groundbreaking by any means, it does give us a nice look at how Windows Mobile 6.1 is turning out. Hit the gallery for the screen shots!

“E” stands for the EDGE network!

Most of the 6.1 features have been out for a while. I think the most notable change is in PIE with support for zoom out and better scaling of web pages.

I’ve had this on my BlackJack I for a bit over a month now. Yes, the tweaks are few and don’t seem like it’s much, but the responsiveness of 6.1 is so much better than it’s predecessors. Threaded messaging is great and again, a small change, but a much appreciated one. As far as the zoom support for IE, I think I will stick with my Opera Mini.

PIE inst all that much better, don’t get me wrong it is an improvement, but Opera 9.5 is so much better, awesome in fact.
WM6.1 does seem better in every way, great inclusion of a full Task Manager, and lots of other little extras, plus its also abit faster, which is a nice bonus.

Can’t wait for a Q9 or Q10 with WM6.1 and WiFi. The Q9h is a great device even without Wifi but will be just about perfect with it.

@Hacktor,
Are you talking about 6.1 on your Blackjack or Blackjack II?
If it is the first BJ, can you hook me up?
I’ve been looking for a way to bring the life back to my BJ.

I had an unofficial release of 6.1 on my Sprint Mogul. It was a bit snappier.
