Uhhh not much of an upgrade it is to be honest. However I likey what is included. Threaded messages, carrasel menu navigation and a task bar are among the things it comes with. My main excitement is the threaded sms view. I’m sure its possible to install an app to manage your sms which would give some similar kind of flexibility. However I’ld much rather the app to be a core app that doesn’t feel third party like all java applications feel (love opera mini but hate the thrid party feel cant wait for skyfire).

There is already an unofficial version floating around the web for the htc mogul and the htc hermes (qtek 9600). I’m contemplating taking the plundge of experimentation.. but I’m very hesitant. If any one has actually tried flashing their handset to the htc 6.1 shadow rom let us know how it works.
