Windows Mobile 6 promised for Apache owners on Friday

Filed under:

Although frankly the benefits they’ll see are marginal — especially if they’ve already upgraded their handsets to AKU 3 — many Sprint PPC-6700 / Verizon XV6700 devotees will nevertheless be delighted to learn that xda-developers forum member helmi_c is promising an Apache-compatible build of Windows Mobile 6 to be released this Friday, and he’s got the screenshots that claim to prove it. As tipster Joey put it, “many of us [6700] owners have been kinda left out in the cold with no WM6 love for the 6700,” but where manufacturers and carriers fail to act, you can usually count on the tireless community over at xda-developers to provide a solution — and from the looks of things, helmi_c’s build even trumps the standard upgrade by cooking the HTC Touch interface right in. Good stuff if it does indeed pan out, so we’ll keep you posted.

[Thanks, Joey S.]
