Note that Slingplayer doesn't work with WM6 for those that care.

Just so everyone knows, MSMobiles is lying to you, again. What you see in those pictures is a Wisbar Advance skin, not the WM6 UI. Rolling Eyes

Nice to see you linking to illegal ROM images again. What's that noise? Oh, must be that MVP title you long for wooshing by, again Wink

Hey, they are using WM6 and thus are not lying. WA2 works fine on a WM6 device. It is infact WM6

to MSmobiles:the media player skin is not the one avaliable in WM6. The ROM makers have replaced the actual WM6 by the skin made by xcillion(who has made several WA2 skins)

certainly negative people like you nedge2k don't deserve MVP at all. Where was that "lying" again? These are screen shots form HTC Hermes running in UK and connected to T-Mobile UK. It is powered by Windows Mobile 6. Where was the "lie" again?

You were lying (ie not telling the "whole truth") by not disclosing the fact that the UI you are showing as a native WM6 UI is not a native WM6 UI and is in fact a wisbar advance skin. You made no mention of the skin in your so-called review so either you were too stupid to notice or you are intentionally misleading people who wouldn't know better. You claim to be professional, helpful and an asset to the community and yet you do things like this and harm the community in the process by linking to illegal/copyrighted material.

Oh and just so we're clear, I'm not the one who begs for the title of MVP on his blog. M'kay Wink

you, nedge2k, WANT to get MVP too. I want MVP but at least I am not in public-denial about it like you.

regarding "lying" : it was NOT lying because a) anybody can see that it is skinned windows mobile 6 (skinned windows mobile 6 remains windows mobile 6 still), b) lying involves something untrue and nothing untrue was said in the news because the phone is running Windows Mobile 6 in any case - so it was not lying.

nedge2k: I advice you to stop flaming this forum.

I'm afraid nedge2k was right. There was nothing in your post to show that the UI you posted is not native wm6. This could truly be misleading to those casual users who I guess are in the majority.
Next time if you are reviewing something it is better to use the vanilla ui. What you showed IS NOT wm6, but WM6 with WA skin. See the difference?

It does now. A fix has been developed and I'm slinging on my Hermes WM6 style.
