I know that you are not supposed to do it, but I updated my phone to Windows Mobile 6 Black, specifically Black 4 (Shadow). This is a fantastic ROM and, if you are not that technical, much better than trying to cook your own! It is described as a Hybrid OEM of HTC Hermes and Touch designed specifically for the Hermes. This is good as the current HTC Touch phone does not have 3G or a keyboard, it looks fantastic though. I knew the iPhone would be good for something, pushing HTC to advance the int

If, like me you are a fan of Pocked PC mobile phones you will have something like the Orange SPV 3100.

The one thing I do not like about the mobile device center is that it can't sync with the built in windows vista components (Contacts, Calendar and email). This is, I think, a deficiency in the product.

Well, its about time: The WMDC is out of beta and is available to download. WMDC is the replacement for ActiveSync on Vista and I would have expected it to be available for the business release of Vista. Up until now users have had to make do with the beta version that was originally released for Vista RC1, and I can tell you it was a little flaky in places. Not anything really problematic, just the usual beta unfinishedness, though it was usable.

One thing I loved, with the update of Media Player 11 and ActiveSync 4.2, on my phone (Windows Mobile 5.0 - Orange SPV M3100) with Windows XP was that it detected that I had a 1gb SD card and added it to the sync devices of Media Player. This allowed me to download my Channel9 and DotNetRocks podcasts and sync them with my phone on a daily basis. I just could not be bothered to sync them manually before.
