Yesterday, I reported that I made the move on my AT&T Tilt to the official release of Windows Mobile 6.1 by HTC Europe for the TyTn II. I initially tried Dutty's 6.1 test ROM from xda-developers which had many issues, today I noticed he had appended his post title with "[AMBANDONNED DUE TO BUGS]". The HTC ROM I downloaded from via this post on MoDaCo, seems to be running very well. It does not have the bells and whistle that Dutty's ROM had but I was able to make the tweaks I needed with Kaisertweak. I also ran the Tilt Keyboard fix to make the Tilt's keyboard work correctly.
I also updated quite a few applications.
My one disappointment so far was the fact my backup with Sunnysoft's Backup Manager did not restore correctly and I had install all my applications manually, but it does give me a clean environment.
Update 5/30/2008: On 5/29/2008 I had problems accessing the Internet with PIE, rebuilt my Tilt and removed the United Airline PocketFly application for fear of incompatibility with Pocket Internet Explorer in 6.1. I will have to test further.

In ROM Memory
The good thing about the HTC ROM is that it is not bloated. The only two extra applications I have noticed other than the standard HTC applications are:
- Adobe Reader LE 2.0
- World Card Mobile (a business card scanner, I need to try it out)
On 8GB Mini SD card:
Only data, for the moment I have no need to install application on the SD card...
Hello,
Sunnysoft Backup Manager is not meant for restoring apps after ROM update.
