Windows Mobile 6.5 wallpapers

by Brad Linder on April 6, 2009 at 12:00 PM

Windows Mobile users have been able to choose themes for their home screen, start menu, and toolbars for years. But usually Windows Mobile phones and PDAs come with just a handful of backgrounds and themes to choose from. It looks like Microsoft plans to spruce things up a bit by offering a number of designer themes for Windows Mobile 6.5 from actual designers including Isaac Misrahi, Ron Arad, and Vera Wang.

Blogger Long Zheng has posted a series of pictures of the new designer themes, ripped from a pre-release version of Windows Mobile 6.5. And while I can't promise that you're going to find them all particularly attractive, they'll definitely give Windows Mobile phones a bit of flare.

You can find 4 more themes and higher resolution images at I Started Something.

Now that they're taking away d-pads and adding swiping for the sake of swiping, where's the theme that makes the phone look like an iPhone?

I do think I like the newer today screens. I just hate the honeycomb eye straining app launcher.

Just for future reference, so far at least, these aren't themes, they are wallpapers. Some of them are actually very nice ones but just wallpapers nonetheless.
Themes imply more than just changing the wallpaper (icons, fonts, interface colors, etc.), otherwise the iPhone also has themes since you can change the lock screen background.
