HTC Star Trek gets the Windows Mobile 6.1 treatment

While the rest of us mere mortals will have to make do with screenshots and videos of the upcoming Windows Mobile 6.1 UI, an enterprising ROM-cook over at xda-developers forum has installed the not-yet-released Windows Mobile 6.1 OS on an HTC Star Trek smartphone.
Apparently not content with having Windows Mobile 6.0 on the Star Trek, xda-developers member Erofich has managed to tweak the touch-based Windows Mobile 6.1 OS for the non-touchscreen HTC Star Trek. The directional pad and keys have been mapped to provide touchscreen inputs in place of a finger or stylus, and the WM6.1 install seems to be running with no major problems.
Erofich has also managed to get Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard ported to the HTC Star Trek (and all its branded variants) as well. Check out the xda-developers forums post for more info on how to get WM6.1 on your own Star Trek.
