Could anybody identify the condensed typeface used for the UI of Windows Mobile 6.1?

Your help is appreciated. Thank you.

Segou, isn't it?

Yep, it's Segoe Condensed.

Looks like there are "Segoe UI" and "Segoe" and they are different.

Perhaps it's "Segoe UI" but I couldn't find any condensed.

Attached here is a better image.

For you to check...

(Segoe Condensed Bold)

i see.
thanks a ton!

I neglected to mention that you can get a copy of Segoe Condensed (including Bold) for free by downloading and installing the Windows Mobile 6 SDK.

Of course, you'll have to adhere to whatever is in the EULA that comes with the installation package.

woohoo. my first x :) although I have ID'd some earlier.

Yeah, I know -- I'm waaay behind on my (x)-ing and tagging. I've given up all hope on (a) ever catching up and (b) the Type ID Board ever being upgraded to a more efficient version.
