This is one thing that Symbian consumers cannot do, which is update their Operating System. Of course, this update is not available for all Windows Mobile smartphones, but what counts is that some of them can do it.
This is better than just a firmware update, it's a full feature Operating System update, and it works for the following devices:
And now some of you might ask why to update. Well there was and there is a lot of fuss due to Microsoft new Operating System, and this partly to the User Interface we saw in phones such as the Xperia X1 and the Lamborghini phone. But here are some of the reasons Microsoft advises:
1. Track your text messages. When you text with a friend, the messages are threaded together, just like instant messaging—no more confusion about what you're talking about. Discuss a project budget and view the conversation as you type, so you can refer back to important points.
2. Set your style. Windows Mobile 6.1 runs on a growing variety of phones, including touch screen devices with slide-out keyboards, sleek full-keyboard smartphones, and compact flip phones.
3. Find it fast. The new Home screen design lets you put what’s important to you where it’s instantly available—on your phone’s Home screen. Place a clock conveniently on your Sliding Panel Home screen. Track appointments and messages at a glance. Get to your favorite songs, videos, and pictures with just a click.
4. Protect your data and your identity. Sync your smartphone with your laptop so if you lose your phone, you don’t lose your data. You can even encrypt personal information to help keep it from falling into the wrong hands.
5. Connect to Wi-Fi. Connecting to a Wi-Fi network is now simpler—no more scrolling through multiple pages. A single click to your screen and you’re connected.
