After the Windows Phone 7 Series Announcement, Microsoft plans Windows Mobile 6.5 to be renamed by Windows Phone “CLASSIC”. I wonder why does Microsoft choose the CLASSIC word coz it sounds very old. The answer from Microsoft is that WinMo 6.5 will continue to be supported, and will coexist alongside the new Windows Phone 7. I don’t know what Microsoft might have planned once Windows Phone 7 available, will they abandon the Classic? What about the older version from WinMo 6.5? Should it be called SUPER-CLASSIC? [Gizmodo]

So, what’s new in Windows Mobile 6.5.3? In general, the UI has become a bit more finger friendly compared to 6.5, i.e. bigger icons, dropdown entries etc. Sony Ericsson’s custom addition, the SlideView, is already known from the Xperia X2. It provides quick access to messaging, media player, calendar and – as a novelty – Facebook contact information such as comments and posts.
The full featured QWERTY keyboard provides an OK haptic feedback, however the surface of the keys are a little bit too slippery. The device itself feels comfortable in your hands.
