According to many news sites from the summer (like these : http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/press/2008/jun08/06-10BloombergMobilePR.mspx and http://visualstudiomagazine.com/news/article.aspx?editorialsid=9987), there is apparently a Bloomberg application for windows mobile similar to the iphone app. Yet, I cannot find any place to download this. Does anyone have any information on this?
Seems to be more or less an Asian thing, neverless here the MSN Search results: http://search.live.com/results.aspx?q=Bloomberg+"Windows+Mobile"+download&src=IE-SearchBox
still cannot find a download site with that search from msn.com
http://bbmobile.bloomberg.com/winmo.html
yeah ...check out guys with above link ..its 472kb only cab file
Looks like you might need a Bloomberg Professional Account in order to use the Mobile Application.
I installed the .cab file on my phone, (then registered on bloomberg via the normal bloomberg website using my pc), but cannot login via the app on my mobile. It does not recognize my login name and I cannot register via the mobile...Any ideas???
Winmo is losing out big time.

Indeed, there is a bloomberg app for winmo, but it is not free. the site to download is http://bbmobile.bloomberg.com/winmo.html , but you got to register to use it. The normal account you registered cannot be use on the bloomberg winmo app. To use it, you need to call up to bloomberg and sign up a "bloomberg anywhere" account. I did call up for the same issue. to sign up, it will cost thousand per month, while iphone is giving it for free. Even Big Players such as Yahoo and Autodesk went over to iPhone.
Now u see the reason for iphone wave. If this continue, iPhone will monopolise the smart phone market. Some ppl like me, thought that Blackstone is a potential iPhone killer. After get the blankstone, I will say blankstone is good, BUT it is nowhere close to what iPhone have to offer. Some even think that Palm Pre could be the next iPhone killer. But after the review, I think not.
My next phone set could be iPhone. Hope Winmo will catch up by then. Good Luck to Winmo user like me. Major thing i still using Blackstone, is GPS and bluetooth. If iPhone can resolve these issue somehow, I dun think any of the other phones can stand before iPhone any more.
Its here! the non-pro version like for the iphone.
Been looking awhile for this, wonder why they are so quiet about it..

i really, really, really want this to happen so i can flash android thru nand and run wm6.5 from sd coz i still need my garmin xt from time to time.
Thanks for the post, and the replies. I was wondering the same thing. I've got a really smooth nand of android gingerbread and have only one reason that i need wm 6.5 back. The video recording. Unless someone can fix the instability of the 720p recording for android....

You realize that winmo6.5 can't do 720p recording either, right? The only OS that can do 720p recording right now on the HD2 is WP7... not sure if there's any issues with it... I haven't tried or tested yet.

Well, I feel pretty uneducated right now with the phone I've had for almost a year. Thanks for the correction. This of course creates a new set of questions. What is the HD2 w/ Windows Mobile 6.5's recording resolution? All I know is, and maybe it's the android rom i'm using, but the recording on my hd2 when it was stock is way better than the recording from the android rom. Now I'm curious if there is a way to fix my issue. I don't need 720p recording. Just the quality that a stock hd2 is capable of. Thanks again!

That´s exactly the reason i am hoping for a SD-WinMo build
I have switched over to Nand Android and do not want to miss it, but i do miss my TomTom with rather new maps for WinMo 6.5.
i too am interested on having the ginger 2.3 nand and on sd the wm 6.5 ( igo and camera quality better)
some new info about this ?
regards
I love to see WM6.5 run on SD card, I missied Tomtom on Window mobile. I have Navigon on HD2 android but TomTom still my favorites of all navigiation.
Patience is the key... running WM from a card poses many more problems and requires a lot more time/effort than getting android to run from a card....
IF, that's an if not a when, the DFT get this working then you wont be able to miss it don't worry

Yea, that's the reason I kept my WM6.5 as well
Is there a way to install WM6.5 and Android on the same internal NAND? and use a boot loader to choose? My Rafdroid SD build is soooo veeery slow and apparently the speed settings are already built in fast. takes about 5-10 seconds to respond to anything.

I Have the EXACT same situation - only reason I need Windows Mobile on my phone.
The only reason, why I´m still using windows mobile is, because I love windows myphone. It´s soo great. If you are flash the rom again of something fails, you can sync all the contacts, sms and so on.
Some days ago I recieved a mail from microsoft, that the windows mobile market place inclusive myphone will discontinued ...
The market place ends on 15th july and myphone on 7th august this year.
Very bad
But is the global, or in germany only?

I got the same notice here in the US. They are shutting it all down. I realize they are trying to push WM7, but it angers me that they don't maintain WM6 support for several years, like they did with XP.

WM6.5 for HTC Surround
I know it is a little too early to ask this question but here it goes:
Is there a way to flash a WM6.5 custom ROM into the HTC Surround?
WP7 limit the full potential of the HTC Surround's excellent hardware.
No, there is not and I doubt there ever will be.
Not sure if you have even played with WP7, but if you haven't, go give it a shot. I thought it's restrictions would affect me, but I haven't had any problems.

I have an HTC Surround since the last couple of days. I'm "upgrading" from an HTC Touch PRO with an Energy WM6.5 Custom ROM.
I'm having a difficult time managing email file attachments, contacts and applications. WM6.5 allowed me to receive and store files in the SD card for future use.
How I store a received email attached file for later use? I don't want to keep the whole email in the inbox just to have the attached file available.
WM6.5 allowed me that, in addition I was able to connect the phone via USB and transfer that same file to any PC. WP7 can't be reconized by PCs.
That is in my opinion a major drawback gattech. I have not found a way to make the phone be reconized by my PC and found alot of people complaining becasue you can't use outlook to back up you contact and such. I would guess this is to stop people from hacking the phone but them trying to keep people from as the android boys would say rooting or the iphone guys jailbreaking is causeing the phone to be lacking a bit. I hope someone can figure out how to do it I like using outlok to keep calander and contacts backedup.
I think you have to use the Zune software for synchronization with PCs
You do use ZUNE and you can only sync with it so music pics and apps I want to put files on my phone and use them when I get to another comp or sync to outlook. When I plug my phone in it does not show up under computer it only tells me in ZUNE that a device is connected. This is a great example of Microsoft wanting to be like apple.
There is a registry hack that you can do that will allow you to throw files on to it. You still need the Zune software I believe, but it should work.
http://www.engadget.com/2010/11/18/registry-hack-allows-for-direct-loading-of-media-on-windows-phon/
I think if we give this phone/OS a little bit of time the developers will make this an AMAZING device.still pretty much in its infancy.
I agree i would love to see a fully functioning version of 6.5 with sense 2.5. Although slide out speakers seem kinda lame to me. id rather it been a keyboard

still can not violate the rom the phone? I have it in another language ... I hope you will be able to flash .. Not to mention if it is a Windows 6.5, would be very happy
So here's what I'm thinking...
Two days ago I got my nearly free HTC Surround up at AT&T... And so far, I'm so unimpressed that I've gone back to my Topaz.
Stepping up to WP7 from WM6.5 is in reality stepping down for me, because of the complete control that MSFT has kept thus far over the operations of the phone. True, several cracks and unlocking routines have emerged already, but I truely miss the root customization and the ability to do almost anything you want that came with WM6.5. So here's my question:
Is it possible now, or might it be possible, to port WM6.5 over to WP7 devices? I ask this because IMHO, this device has the hardware specs that could only have been dreamed of in WM6.5 phones and unless I'm mistaken, this phone could run WM6.5 flawlessly (In terms of the video, processor, internal storage, etc.)
Is this a possibility? Is there a chance my Surround can find some redemption in my eyes? Thanks in advance, and I hope that Surround users will start/continue to work to unlock the many hinderences of this phone (Donations! )
I'm in the same boat as you. I would love to go back to WM6.5 right now. My wife got me the SUrround when it 1st came out. I have to admit it's been incredibly stable but I can't help but wonder if the hardware will run WM6.5. I would imagine the UI would have to tweaked due to the absence of some hard keys. I really just want internet sharing and voice guided GPS Bing Maps back and I would be happy enough for now.

Open the attachment, then choose Save or Save As. It then saves a copy to the local phone memory instead of just within the email.

OK, I saved the document in phone memory. I deleted the the original message from the Inbox and Deleted Items folders. Now I want to send that same PDF file to a friend via email. How I do that? How do I attach a PDF file to an email in WP7?

I'm with you Wingnutt54 . Not being able to transfer files and documents from phone to PC and vice versa via direct USB connection is one of the biggest drawbacks of WP7. I "upgraded" from and HTC Fuze (Touch Pro) to the HTC Surround and really miss its flexibilty.
I am an IT Specialist and I like to carry all my files, documents and software handy at all times. What better place to have them than your phone? USB drives get lost all the time but you never lose your phone, do you?
well its mostly impossible
1. no WINCE 5.2 bootloader
2. no wince 5.2 Kernel
3. no wince 5.2 AMSS ( qualcomm virtual machine configuration files ). new hardware revision . amss from HD2 will not work
in the end = impossible

So, there is no hope for the HTC Surround to be flashed with a custom WM6.5 ROM somewhere in the future?
Looks like I'll sell my Surround and go for the Telstra HTC HD2. Hope they are going much cheaper these days.

wm 6.5 ( wince 5.2 ) does not compatible with WP7 (wince 6). at ANY part . os booted different way .. os working different way . in the end ..
1. no kernel
2. no drivers
3. no bootloader
also surround and half of surround ( mozart ) have NEW EXTERNAL TOUCH ( Cypress ) AND EXTERNAL SOUND CODEC ( TEXAS INSTRUMENTS ) hardware. so thats part will require drivers written from a ZERO . which is dead way if you does not have sources or chip papers .

i got an email about it today, very very disappointing that m$ are killing off wm6.x like this so soon.
im wondering what happens now with apps that have been paid for and updates to apps i use, it says its still going to be availiable on our phones but will there ever be any updates to apps or new ones anymore ?
its just far too soon to do this, in 2 or 3 years from now maybe.
time for a new phone i guess

Hello,
I find it unfortunate position of Microsoft to kill Windows Mobile without considering that we are still many users who are happy with this operating system. This position makes me think that never migraré the new Microsoft operating system, when I will have to switch to another platform other than Microsoft.
Regards,
You guys did not read carefully enough. They are going to shut down the Market Place website. If you read the notification again you will find out that access from your device will still be possible after the closing date.
Concerning My Phone this is no biggie for me. I was never really happy to deliberately give MS my personal data. I prefer a classic backup solution like SPB Backup.
According to recent market data from Gartner,Windows Mobile 6.x phones sales outpaced Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7 sales in the first calendar quarter of 2011. That must be driving Microsoft crazy.
Oh my God
So sad

I don't know if this is really true but it does not matter. WP7 is simply useless to me. From a device of the year 2011 I expect:
- full multitasking (not some sort of multitasking like thing)
- all the other basic things like adding ringtones etc that even the dumbest phones could do years ago (I know MS will maybe introduce that with Mango but come on)
- full featured office solutions and not some functionality reduced Word, Excel and Powerpoint apps that MS thinks are sufficient for us
- let's not even talk about copy & paste
...
The list could go on forever. WP7 is simply a bad IOS copy and not worth one $. I will stick with my Xperia X1 and as soon as it dies I will get an Android device. MS just committed suicide with the introduction of WP7.

That's... wrong. If I bought last big WM device like HD or HD Mini in late 2009 or early 2010, I wouldn't even have 2 years of fully functional phone . Shutting down MyPhone is a bad move. It' like they officially killed WM. A very good OS, still better then WP7. I think MS chose a wrong way with their OS, but... that doesn't matter to me now. I jumped off the WM ship and now I'm rocking Android, thanks to HD2 versatility.

That's... wrong. If I bought last big WM device like HD or HD Mini in late 2009 or early 2010, I wouldn't even have 2 years of fully functional phone . Shutting down MyPhone is a bad move. It' like they officially killed WM. A very good OS, still better then WP7. I think MS chose a wrong way with their OS, but... that doesn't matter to me now. I jumped off the WM ship and now I'm rocking Android, thanks to HD2 versatility.

Hello,
What Microsoft has made with these dirty tricks is that when you have to change my device (while work will continue with é, I love the WM 6.1) I switch to another operating system, but Windows never Phone 7.

PIMbackup recommend you use to backup the PIM, works very well.

Yeah move to android.
Window will die soon. Never care of their old friends.
Android = A+
Iphone = B
Window = ****... never buy window phone again.

It all depends on how you use the phone. Android, from the limited exposure to it that I had, is great for some things and sucks in others.
I use my phone for both home and work. I have many excel spreadsheets and word documents with tons of data in them that I use weekly. With Android, I would have to either migrate them to Google Docs, or buy applications that somehow work with Office. I couldn't even find a decent free RTF editor for my wife's Android phone, and RTF is an open format that's been a standard for ages.
With my WM phone I can create and send meeting minutes, action lists, and excel spreadsheets to my coworkers, when needed. No such thing with Android unless I buy 3rd party. (I can not use Google Docs for sharing work files).
I can use my phone offline with Wifi or Bluetooth for pretty much anything, including GPS (with a bluetooth receiver). With Android, who knows. I have a feeling that if I ever was without cell signal, the Android phone functionality would be severely limited. My WM phone can still be used as a full-blown PDA.
The biggest thing is, though, the Android phone is just too intergrated into Google services. If anyone stole an Android phone they could get immediate access to all of your email, Docs etc. With a Windows phone, they only access a dozen or so emails dowloaded since last time, and if you're smart all sensitive docs are hidden inside an encrypted container. The thief wouldn't be able to break into your Google accounts and read online documents. (Of course you would have to enter the password in browser each time you want to access Google from your phone but that's a small price to pay). I don't know if Android phone could be set up that way, but this would take away a huge part of what makes Android a unique experience.
Not saying that WM >>>> Android, just that it's not a platform to write off just yet. Personally I will strongly consider the both the WM7 and Android when it is time to upgrade my phone the next year.
Looks like WM has lost against ANdroid and iPhone
But to be honest, i never really used the Microsoft MyPhone Service and the Marketplace as there are lots of (also free) alternatives when you search the web.
Yeah i know...it has always been a little bit more tricky to find good software on the web, but i was always satified.
I only used the MyPhone for backing up my SMS. Therefor i now use Cloud SMS backup which is very useful.
well that is so bad from microsoft. they realy have a micro brain. cant thinks abt us who are with ms from so many years . they spoiled the os . then committed sucide in frnt of android. that too is thier mistake only. they paid the developers. then why would any one go for ms.
now **** even they cant see us living with dead os.
i will never buy a ms again

That's quite a point you're making there. I went to Austria in winter with my HD2 and Android installed on it. Of course I had to switch off data because of ridiculous prices of traffic in roaming. And then my phone simply became... useless. I couldn't even open up few what you can think offline apps, cause they wanted to check license (of course by using internet connection)! Android is really data-needing.
I ended up by flashing WM (I had my laptop) ASAP. And guess what. It was more functional than Android.
That's why I have never been very fond of those Android devices. It starts with the activation of the device after you bought it. It's just ridiculous, a device that costs several 100 $ does not work decently without a google account. My WM device belongs to me without MS telling me what I can do and what I don't. Sad they have chosen the same way as google and Apple with WP7.
Hi,
Quite surprisingly I have had no trouble at all in getting mobile remote desktop on my HTC HD2 connected to my PC (Win 7). All was working fine until I tried one app whose main window on the PC cannot be resized.
The main window does not fit on the mobile desktop despite having "fit remote desktop to screen" ticked.. Why has the desktop not been shrunk to fit the screen?
HTC zoom does not work because I want to make it smaller not bigger!!
How can I get round this?
Should I try a different version of windows mobile?

Tricky One ...

Dear friend ... Maybe you can try Energy WM ROM It may help But If your looking for a Remote Desktop app full working I think you should use Android's Because WM is too Old and doesn't have any option and no way to fix/change anything easily ... also if you want to have WM , you can try dual-booting and having both WPH and Android at the same time ( Just take a look at here for it ) ... but if just want android , try this ... then you can enjoy that remote desktop while you enjoy your LEO :laugh: ... Good luck
With Best Wishes

I use too many native windows apps for Android to be a sensible alternative

I'd prefer a working WM Remote Desktop but if all else fails, maybe I'll give this a go
Thanks for the thoughts.
Well ..

Well Dear friend ... As you said the links are down so you can try Artemis ( some how better )
-about the next ( about apps ) I should say that if you use a Sense 2 /3 ( 2 is better ) your idea will change ... my recommended ROm is this
- about the last I should say that if you Dual-boot , you can use Both WPH ( Winphone 7.8 ) and Android ( 4.4.2 - Sense 3 / 3.5 / 2.1 ,.. )at the same time which is really helpful to people who need WPH and long battery life at the same time ...
Good luck

Thanks for the prompt reply.
1. I'll try Artemis
2. Most of the apps I am interested in are specialised apps not available on Android - hiking maps, golf statistics, and old MS DOS program etc
3 WPH7.8 is simply too hard to use your own apps on. If you cant get the app from the MS market place (or whatever it is called) it seems you cant run it. As far as I can tell without actually doing it, it will be easier to run these specialised native windows apps on an iPhone that get them working on Windows 7.,8!!!
If course, I could always pay $$$ to upgrade the app but why should I when it works fine!
BTW What size partition in the NAND does Artemis require? I/ve read of sizes anywhere between 85Mb and 135Mb for different ROMS

@kuzibri might be able to answer your Artemis questions. Hope he is able to respond to my mention.:fingers-crossed:
WPH deserves a try ... but it's all your choice ...

Well to some extend your right ... but WPH is very smooth - has almost all the WM apps also more - has good MS support - etc ( it sure deserves a try I'm just sure of it ... If didn't like , you can switch back to WM ) ... it's called marketplace and is great ... also you can search for your apps in google and install them yourself ( almost all MS apps are ported into WPH ) WPH has ability to run high Graphic apps / games which was to main week point of WM it has almost all XboX games ... Well about the partition you'd better look the main thread on XDA here ... Good luck
