Windows Mobile 6.5 themes leak
SlashGear — There’s no denying that Windows Mobile 6.5 will bring with it plenty of functionality improvements, but we’d be lying if we said the new themes and general sprucing up of the whole OS visually weren’t another draw.  Screenshots of the new WM6.5 themes - the handiwork of designers including Diane von Fürstenberg and Vera Wang - have emerged, and they look a whole lot better than Windows Mobile 6.1 ever did.

Windows Mobile 6.5.1? Does Hope Yet Live?
Mobility Site — Long Zheng at I Started Something is reporting that new builds of WinMo 6.5 have begun to filter out of Redmond and into the modding community, with build numbers 23XXX and higher.

Perhaps Steve Ballmer’s recent public criticism of WinMo is having an effect on the Windows Mobile Team, or they are just better able to finish the build without the ...
