WM6... worth the wait?

Hi,

i have been advised on this forum to wait for WM6 devices to come out but am now seriously considering the Orange m700 (only has WM5). it is available on £35 contract for free.

anyone got a WM6 device yet?

any good? worth the wait?

what does it do that WM5 doesn't do?

I was hoping to wait for the HTC Kaiser but its not coming out till june and can only imagine it will be costly even with a contract. Preorder price at clove technology is £581.62 inc VAT.

G.

Re: WM6... worth the wait?

Personally, i would wait. For example, I use outlook email a lot on my Vario and a number of much needed improvements are coming in WM6. Also, while many WM5 aplications will still work on WM5, some wont.
