WM5 AKU3.3 and WM6 “Crossbow”
Okay so it’s been awhile since I’ve done any phone experiments, and or browsing in the field. So recently, I ventured over to XDA-Developers and oh man have BIG things come about!
Let’s start with the leaked version of Crossbow, Microsoft’s next Windows Mobile platform (a.k.a WM6). So I loaded it up played with it, and I must say I liked it… Enjoyed it for the most part but due to application incompatibility I had my fill of fun and was done with it. So if any of you really want it then the theory of 6 degrees of separation holds true…you’re only 6 clicks away…
and if you know me then you’re really just a click and paste away
uh oh..I think I have said too much… (Hint: The one I played with was called 1.Crossbow_Underground_Edition.exe or was it .zip can’t remember)
Next up, WM5 AKU3.3…now I must say I love this cooked ROM by Faria, Molski, Dr. Puttingham, rkwhyte2, and Kyphur. I must say I really love this ROM (oh wait…I already said that). It has all the pretty GUI from WM6 (Crossbow) with the added benefit of being WM5 so applications work. Plus the added applications are just amazing. I mean before I had applications that were doing these tasks, however, the fact that there are freeware alternatives that work well and to top it off BUILT-IN just sweetens it on the whole! Now of course I can only praise this ROM so much but if you have the T-Mobile MDA (HTC Wizard) then you should really give this ROM a try, I can say with near certainty this ROM will not disappoint you. For more information about this ROM head over to XDA Developers directly.
If I’ve already sold you on the upgrade to this ROM then just go ahead and grab it and start using it!
