Windows Mobile 6.5 Home Screen Needs Major Improvement

by Jeremy on April 4, 2009

If you haven’t seen the new Windows Mobile 6.5 yet, take a look at the screenshot and video below.

Now considering that this is a pre-release and (hopefully) not the real version, the home screen is definitely not Fluffy! See that big fat bar highlighting the time in the screenshot below? You have to push that thing up and down to navigate. Sounds easy enough, right? Wrong. The lag is ridiculous, very inacurate and most importantly, it takes like 4 flicks of the thumb to move all the way to the top or the bottom!

Take a look at the video below for more info on the laggy home screen and how it takes 3 or more flicks to push the screen up or down.

Edit: Turns out you can flick all the way up to the top, bottom by moving your finger faster and not focusing it on the big bar. This works, but it’s still buggy and hard to land on the right tile.
