Just last night its still 2007.07.28 version, now after a day had passed they already have 2007.07.29 version. Anyway, been using this chinese version (I said chinese not because it was cooked by someone who is in China or Taipe or Hongkong but because the ROM language is in chinese. With some guess works in its Settings option you can change it to US English and the locale to English(UK) or whatever you want. Unfortunately, initially all menus are in chinese so you have to guess where is the Settings option, the language and locale option. But after guessing it and restarting the phone, every thing will be in english already).

For my observations:

1. The red letters during startup including the OS version is already gone

2. The startup screen are basic WM6 startup screens

3. STK services is working great

4. It has a Dopod SMStools pack

5. It has Automatic Keylock ver. 3.87

6. It has MultiFlashlight ver. 1.01 (in Chinese language)

7. It has an Iconor Listview (it toggles Gridview and Listview of Start

Menu)

8. It has WM5Storage 1.75 (Chinese language)

9. Two (2) File Explorers were included (the built in File Explorer and HTC File Manager ver. 1.41 Build 22448)

10. Low light is already present (after startup, the phone will be already in low light mode)

11. It has HTC Task Manager ver. 1.22 Build 26137

12. Comm Manager and Internet Sharing are also included

13. Clear Storage is incorporated within the Settings (found after the System Information option)

14. The WIFI is working great (I dont know about the Bluetooth and GPRS, haven't tried it yet)

15. I has a built in Registry Editor and CeleTask 2.2 both in Chinese language (what I do, I overwrite the Registry Editor.exe and CeleTask.exe inside the root \Windows folder with the English version I have using HTC File Manager)

16. The Contacts menu have a SIM Manager ver. 1.0 Build 4.36.365 option which is developed by Dopod

17. Clock and Date are shown when you press the Unlock key

18. For speed, no question bout it. I think all version of WM6 ROM speed is great compared to WM5.

18. No HTC Camera 4.0, so option is to install Cool Camera 1.15 coz if HTC Camera 4.0 cab be installed lots of issues are coming out like the delay during voice calls and speed issue (its a pity coz I started to like HTC Camera 4.0, seems it has a good picture quality compared to Cool Camera 1.15 and the HTC Camera interface is cool)

19. No built-in WM6 Office (but its good, at least users have the option of installing it or not)

20. Size of the letters are so thin (solution is to tweak the registry settings by activating Cleartype and increasing the font weight of System font, Pop up Font, Bar Font, OOM font. Unfortunately Start and Contacts font in Homescreen remains thin but in SMS font, there's a big difference. During reading and writing SMS, the font weight is in accordance to what you have set)

21. No built in input method. So before writing or composing SMS be sure to install first input methods you want (I installed English xT9) else you can only write numbers and nothing else.

22. No MMS (well I dont care about it, Im not fond of using it...)

Thats all for now...
