2009-03-27
hey guys it's random intamin from pocketnow.com and this is the look at the new unlock screen coming in windows mobile 6.5 this comes from a ROM from XD developers on the touch HD now your phone is always trying to tell you things you have new appointments you have new emails new SMS new calls a lot of different things that are going on what are the advantages of having a windows mobile today screen is that you can see all of this information in one glance now when Microsoft is taking this another step further in the unlock screen in Windows Mobile 6 point 5 so that you can see in one glance if you have any kind of notification and then you can act on them instantly and I think this is much better than even the iPhone where you have to first unlock the screen then you have to look for the icons with the notifications and then you have to go into the application and so on so let me show you how it is in windows mobile 6.5 so here we are taken to the unlock screen and something that's great about this is that we have our next appointment right here and we have the time and the date now up here we know that there's something new going on because it says tap or slide and if I want to unlock the device I just bring it to the right and it'll take me to the main screen but what if I don't want to unlock my device what if I quickly want to get to the areas that I have notifications in so I'm going to tap or slide I'm going to slide it down and I get two icons right now actually now three icons one is for missed calls so if I slide to slide this to the right I will go right to my missed calls the next one is for SMS so I have a new SMS let me show you that and it'll go right into the SMS screen and finally if I have a new email it will go right into the new email so I can read it right from the screen and here it is right on the screen there so I think for a lot of people the new unlock screen and windows mobile 6.5 is going to be a breath of fresh air oftentimes during the day I'm sure you find yourself taking out the phone from your pocket just to check if you've got a little new icon in the in the upper part of the screen tell you of a missed call if you have an iPhone you're unlocking and looking for the SMS icon to see if there is a new SMS but with this it's just a one glance kind of system where you see if you have any new notifications and you can act on them instantly by sliding the respective little icon to the right or to the left to unlock it so that is it for the unlock screen in windows mobile 6.5
