Microsoft admits it will release a half baked Windows Mobile 6.5 "In response to complaints from users about how the Windows Mobile UI is a complete disaster, one of the members of the panel gave some insight that struck me as an honest answer. Loke Uei Tan, Senior Product Manager on the Windows Mobile Team, basically said that the 6.5 UI was rushed and will need to be further be polished: "The reason why we couldn't complete the interface on Windows Mobile 6.5 is because of time. We only spend what, eight months, nine months, to build 6.5 from ground up and it's actually an amazing engineering feat. But, in order to do that, we had to do some prioritization and we had to cut certain features. Eventually, we will make sure that the UI capabilities are carried out throughout the whole platform.
