I upgraded my Samsung SGH-i607 to Windows Mobile 6 earlier today. I had held off upgrading until today having been told that Internet Connection Sharing doesn’t work on the AT&T Windows Mobile 6 build. Actually, it’s even a bit of a hassle to make it work on Win Mobile 5 but it can be done on both WM5 and 6. ICS isn’t actually removed from the WM6 build, it’s just not exposed in the user interface as was done with WM5 and, in WM6, there are security settings preventing it from operating. So it is more work to enable it but not really all that much (details on the page referenced below).
Overall I’m happy with the upgrade. I’ve added to my Blackjack Hack, Tip, Techniques & Utilities page to include WM6 installation instructions, application unlocking instructions, pointer to the Internet Connection Sharing enabling procedure, instruction on how to move email and IE temp files to the storage card, a higher information density home page, and a few utilities. If you have accumulated other interesting tricks, send them my way. For example, I’ve not yet managed to SIM unlock this one.
