I am running 6.5 on my AT&T Fuze with the SBP 3.0 interface because the HTC TouchFlow is still a bit buggy with this new version.

Basially, 6.5 is rock solid on my device with a slight increase in battery utilization. 6.1 uses to crash every once in an while, It usually did not fully crash but I always experienced performance degradation or loss of functionality over time like bluetooth headset no longer connecting, delay in menu operations or dialer related issues. I did not experience any of that with 6.5.

I may not be fun at all with the win 6.5 new welcome screen but SBP front-end and 6.5 as the engine is a winning combination for me. I at last have a stable phone as I always suffered crippling stability related issues from the 5.0 days. I can hold off on the iphone purchase that I was almost about to make as I was literally about to sell my HD on ebay.

Well, Microsoft has million of angry customers who are waiting for the right vendor to create a stable functional operating system for their phones that does not crash every other day.

I even called Microsoft yesterday. My Mobile 6 $500 phone cannot connect correctly to my car's Bluetooth kit where any sub $50 phone can without a problem.

I tried to explain in a very polite term that I am reporting an issue to Microsoft so they will be aware of it and consider fixing it. The sales rep understood the issue but was only willing to help if I open a ticket for $80.

With this kind of attitude, May be Microsoft has millions of customers but Google and Apple (if they open their developer ecosystems) will have millions of customers who are ready to switch.

I just hope that Microsoft sees the light before its too late in the Mobile space.
