It turns out that the new Visual Studio 2010 does not longer support development for Windows Miobile Versions prior to 7.0. I could not even suppose such a drawback and refused to believe my colleges telling me that, until I convinced myself. Mobile development on Microsoft platform is not my current core activity. In the long list of improvements for VS2010 it did not occur to me to start looking for missing features. That's why I failed to discover it earlier. That is really disappointing. Now I'm stuck to have both VS2008 and VS2010 installed on my developer PC.
Here is how MS presents this unfortunate fact:
Visual Studio 2010
Smart Device Development
Visual Studio 2010 does not support mobile application development for versions of Windows Phone prior to Windows Phone OS 7.0.

I find it unfair not to mention the abolition of this very important feature in the VS2010 highlights list. For me the VS mobile development feature is much more important than the whole bunch of new Azure & Co. ones
