Finally did it. Telegram for Windows Mobile 5-6.5
Native Telegram client for Windows Mobile 2003-6.5.
C# + .NET CF 3.5, looks and feels like classic Pocket MSN Messenger, runs fine on 200 MHz devices with 64 MB RAM. Topics, reactions, quoted replies, polls, real read receipts, media viewer — the full modern Telegram, just on our old bricks.
No WebView, no laggy ports. Proper GDI double-buffering so it doesn’t flicker like shit on these CPUs.
Bridge is a small Python thing that handles MTProto, client itself is pure native.
As far as I can tell this is the only real Telegram client that actually exists for WM.
