Video Tour: Windows Mobile 6.5
Poor choice in device for review on the OS.
I would like to point out that the home screen is not "gone". The default home theme, "Titanium", appears to have been removed in the HTC phone.

I'm not sure what else may be missing from the menus and apps vs. a pure WinMo 6.5 installation, but I don't think a phone where nearly every normal aspect of the UI has been reskinned is a good example for an OS review- even with the skin turned off.
