Windows Phone Thoughts: How Would You Change Windows Mobile 6?

"While some of you have no doubt been running Windows Mobile 6 for a few months or more already (thanks, XDA developers!), the majority of the world is just recently getting its first taste of Microsoft's latest mobile operating system from new devices like the Sprint Mogul and updates to others like the T-Mobile Dash. The critics have certainly been, um, critical of the new OS, to say the least -- "evolutionary, not revolutionary" seems to be the general consensus -- but until we're allowed to behold the glorious light that is Photon, it's the best we've got for now. Still, while WM6 has beefed up Office support and arguably improved the tethering sitch, there are a number of issues that users have been griping about for years which have curiously yet to be addressed. ...so, what do you think: what could Redmond have done differently this time around?"



While I won't hold my breath that Dell will be releasing Windows Mobile 6 for my Axim, some of you have been using it for a while. Though there have been some improvements, it's not quite the leap some may have wanted. If you've had a chance to use Windows Mobile 6, what shortcomings have you found? As Pete Paxon over at Smartphone Thoughts suggests, "could it be that MS doesn't include certain functions so developers can create these programs instead?" Interesting question. So, how about you? Anything you absolutely need changing or are the third-party applications enough?
