They've mixed everything up...
Yes, Windows CE 6.0 is out. Hovewer Windows CE is not Windows Mobile.
WM Screenshots that recently float all over the Web is the screenshots of Windows Mobile "Crossbow". Crossbow is more of Windows Mobile 5 Second Edition, since it uses all WM5 internal architecture.
Windows Mobile that will use CE 6.0 "Yamazaki" kernel (and therefore will be numbered Windows Mobile 6.0) is codenamed Windows Mobile "Photon", and its still in the beginner works, long way to go, at least, before Crossbow goes out.
BTW did somebody promise even Crossbow firmware upgrade for Universal?

Some people have seen Universal running Crossbow.
Currently nothing can be promised as they are under NDA.
I use Mobile Office (from WM6) on my WM5...It works fine
... and I've seen that someone is now trying to use Windows Live also on WM5.
Do you have more information on it ?
Windows Live on WM5
Yup, I am running Windows Live on my HTC s620 with Windows Mobile 5. It works 100%
You can get it from the ftp site, someone extracted it from some wm6 ROM, no idea how but it works fine
ftp ?
And... where is this ftp server ?
I'm so stupid
Ok I've found the link

My device is CINGULAR 8525, I updated the system to WM 6.1, kernel version is 5.2.19174. SKYPE 2.1/2.2 is unable to run under WM 6.1 right now, I installed SKYPE successfully, either CAB or EXE file. But after I tap the icon on TODAY screen, it jumps out.
SKYPE was running well under WM 5.0 and / or 6.0.
Who has experience to run it under WM6.1?
Thanks!
Sorry if I'm not much help, but it does work for me (under 3g Skype or any other program has never worked under WIFI for me)
I'm using the latest version and it's working fine for me.

Skype is ok
Running ShadoW 2.1 and Skype 2.1.56 on HTC Hermes and everything is ok.
Hey Guys,
I've the same problem, but when I tried pay's rom 3.05, skype runs pretty well.
Maybe the problem is the kernel 19174.
And I could not run skype on some of kernel 19199.
Wondering pay more attention to WM6...

Yes, probably I should be back to WM6.0, if it is a problem for WM6.1.
As I said, on Shadow 2.1 TE - WM 6.1 (build 19199) works Skype without problem and I have no problem also on other WM6.1 ROMs! If You have Hermes, use version, I have mentioned in my first post here, because other versions are NOT working on this type of device (it is caused by device, not OS).

Processor is the problem. Hermes processor is build on arm9 architecture and Skype does not support it anynore (only messaging works). In other words you need a device with arm11 processor or the earlier version of Skype which supported arm9.
Cheers
Skype runs nicely on 3G and WiFi with Pay's WM6.1 v3.05.

The last version of Skype that supported arm9 processors was Skype 2.2Beta version
same problem :s
skype works fine on wm 6.0, but not run with the offical htc rom 6.1 :/
Skype Works!
Hi,
I can confirm that I have tried the current windows mobile version of Skype, available here, and it works well over WiFi with the two latest WM6.1 roms by Dvha79_ddt. The older betas I had been using did not work.
Regards,
I'm running the latest version of Skype (v. 2.2.0.37) on PDAviet WM6.1 (build 19900). It runs pretty fast. Faster than on any ROMs I have tried. Before I cannot use it as PPC to PC call but now its just like pc to pc call, with the absent of video though. I used it over WiFi.

works for me now also (build 19199).
I read somewhere on the net a while ago that Skype personel was working to get Skype work with arm9 architecture again, apparently they did it.

hi.. i likethe icon of yours.. how to get the htc plugin like ur logo ?
Hi All,
Since I upgraded my Diamond 2 (Topaz) with windows mobile 6.5 (build 21854 French) and seing so many more recent windows mobile 6.5 build (latest 23081 looks amazing), I wonder what is the Microsoft windows mobile 6.5 upgrade policy.
Will we ever be able to upgrade our devices WITHOUT flashing ROM ? I mean, will it be possible to have something like desktop windows update that will allow us to upgrade our build without the need of a hard reset ?
I clearly understand the need of upgrading whole ROM to go from one major version to another (6.0->6.1->6.5), but I don't see the point of flashing to go through 6.5 updates.
Thanks for your answers
Thomas
windows mobile 6.5 on the htc touch diamond that is very nice
but TomTom doesn`t work on a rom of 6.5
who knows a windows mobile 6.5 rom that TomTom can`s running on a 6.5 rom
BsB 6.5S & BsB 6.5.1G, Tomtom works like a charm!

Tomtom does work on WM6.5
have been flashing alot of newer roms lately on 2 diamonds, haven't had any wm 6.5 rom that didn't run TomTom.
It sometimes does take unusual long to install (the install bar starts moving very slow), just be patient, it works.
good luck
I think you have to delete your map data and copy it again from your pc to your device.
I had the same problem and this worked for me
Sorry for bad english
TomTom works for me too with 6.5.1 ROM's!
