MOVB-09 Mobile devices support

So I plugged my Windows Mobile 2005 HTC SmartPhone on Vista64 ...

"Out of the box" software has multiple issues, such as:
- It does not allow access to the phone internal storage (as explained in Q931621) ;
- Windows Media Device Center (WMDC) shall be updated to version 6.1, otherwise you will experience various other issues.

Yet there is this nasty "feature" of Vista itself: you cannot import individual pictures from a camera. "All or none" is your only choice.

Last but not least, if you set the default browser to a 3rd party application (namely FireFox), WMDC will raise an "Unhandled Exception" error when opening external links.
