Backward compatibility for WM6

[reficul_x]

Hello folks,

Howdy to all as this is my very first post here so do hope that you can bear with me for the moment if I ask very stupid question here.

I want to find out if the Windows Mobile version 6 has a good backward compatibility with apps made for the WM v.5?

I just purchased an O2 XDA Zinc (phone rocks!) and currently my phone is equipped with the WM 5. And I really like the emulators and some apps made for WM 5, and hence I am concern if the new version 6 cannot play the WM 5 apps.

Any headup will be of great help to a noob here.

Many thanks in advance!

I don't have WM6 yet, but I think WM5 apps will work with the new os. I remember having no issues at all when I upgraded my Eten Pocket PC to WM5 from WM2003SE. My apps worked just fine.

Thanks Linley! I read it somewhere about someone having some issues with his/her TomTom app... that it doesn't work with the WM6 after he/she upgraded it.

I don't mind giving the upgrade a shot, if in the event I don't like WM6, can I still install WM5 back again?

You should be able to go back to the previous OS if you have the WM5 image.
