New Text Message Screen on Windows Mobile 6.5.1

One of our readers, John, sent us a tip on what could be the next iteration of the threaded text message screen. While we don’t have confirmation that there will be an update to Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional before Windows Mobile 7 hits the market, the screenshot below along with some builds we have explored before have us pondering what Microsoft is up to.

In this latest build, 23071 to be specific, the threaded conversation view SMS window shows the time and date of the message, something that isn’t enabled in the carrier release of Windows Mobile 6.5 that happened on October 6.

The keys along the bottom are not part of the operating system but are part of FingerKeyboard 2.
