Do any of these have CE 6? I need RIL capability "offered" by CE 6 (apparently offered since CE 4.2). However, finding CE 6 details has been difficult. After an hour of surfing, I'm not even sure if WM6 is built on CE 6.... Finally, I've got a perfectly capable smartphone (SX-66) and it doesn't have CE6 access. Can I build my own CE environ on that device (eliminating whatever consumer OS; WM5, WM6, etc) and begin R&D/Testing these low-level CE6 routines?Anonymous

Windows Mobile 6 is based around the Windows CE 5.0 kernel. Windows Mobile OEMs typically don't release the Board Support Packages needed to allow customers to build their own custom operating system image.

Windows Mobile devices have the RIL hardware integrated on the system board - CE 6.0 devices would need to be developed to have the RIL hardware on the board. An alternative is to use devices like the Enfora Serial/USB device and connect this to an existing low power hardware reference board that supports a serial or USB connection. Check out the Enfora site - https://www.enfora.com/shop/detail.aspx?ID=35 to get more information on stand-alone RIL devices.

Patrick- the story with VoIP and Windows Mobile 6 is that the SIP is locked in. VoIP is only possible if the OEM/Operators enable it, thus giving them a chance to lock it to a particular SIP (no doubt through a partnership that involves monetization). -DerekAnonymous

Hi Derek, if i read all this discussion i get the idear to create my own WM6 Image which supports SIP. My question is: Isn't it possible to realize my own created Windows Mobil 6 Image with the Plattformbuilder? what do you think, it's possible or not? Bye patrickAnonymous

Unfortunately, no-- you can't construct a Windows Mobile ROM image with platform builder. We work exclusively with mobile operators and OEMs to provide them the bits, then they customize from there based on their hardware.
