WCF template is missing from VS2005

I need to create a WCF project under VB in VS2005 but the WCF template is not there... not there under C# either...

I already tried running a VS Command prompt command "devenv /installvstemplates" but no change. I also tried re-installing VS2005 SP1 but still no change. How can I get this template in VS2005?

If you have the WCF option have you tried switching framework?
You can also visit the following
Visual Studio 2005 extensions for .NET Framework 3.0 (Windows Workflow Foundation)

Yes, i installed the WWF extensions, great. But thats not what i need. I need the WCF template.
My VS2005 is targeting .Net Framework 2.0. How can I change it to .Net Framework 3.0. I have installed the .Net Framework 3.0 but VS2005 always shows it uses version 2.0. I tried going into the project properties under the compile options but there is no place to change the target framework version there, at the project level, either. On the web people explain this can be done but they always refer to VS2008.
I am only asking this in the hopes that perhaps if I target version 3.0 in VS2005 the WCF template may suddenly appear.

Hmmm, I figured go right to VS2010 since it is available.... I downloaded and installed VS2010 only to find that it does not support Windows Mobile 6 development, only Phone 7 which is not even released yet. What? Why? Any ways, I guess I will now download and install VS2008 and try again.... will let you know.

Why does VS2010 NOT support Windows Mobile 6? Will it only supprt Phone 7 which will only run on a Microsoft phone hardware platform? I am a little confused. Mobile 6.0 is being thrown away?
Worried....
Wish some one could have answered my last question... but thats ok.
