Is the OKTA Touch compatible with Windows Phone 6.5 (or 7)? What is gained by upgrading to either of these? Telecom does not seem to have any upgrade later than Windows Mobile 6.1, so where can one get the newer versions? Have tried a number of sources but the links I found on google were no longer current. Any help would be appreciated.

Found NFSFAN's WM6.5 1.00 FINAL ROM.rar which looks like it has the HTC CDMA (OKTA) stuff. Any caveats or pitfalls I should look out for?

Upgrade went OK. Everything works, but it doesn't seem much different from WM6.1 . Will see how it goes in the next few days or so. Thanks for all the help.
