Back in April of last year, HTC came clean with its Windows Mobile 6 upgrade plans. Fast forward to at this time, and the very same company is getting official with the cutoff plans. October 31st will be the very last day (no tricks, folks) for chosen Windows Mobile 5 users to get a free upgrade to WinMo 6 via HTC’s website. More specifically, October 31st at 12:00PM GMT — after the clock strikes 12:01PM, the download link will be removed for eternity. The affected handsets are the S621, S620, P4350, P3300 and HTC Advantage, and while we’d typically encourage you to stop procrastinating and get on with the upgrade, we know in our hearts there’s no way you’re still rocking WinMo 5. Right? Right.

Remember that three-pack of phones Verizon promised for April delivery a while back? Two of them have materialized as promised, but the third — the Motorola Q9c — is missing in action. The popular rumor seems to be that they’ve pushed the launch Dat. out just a smidge to May 15, though with the Q9m already in the lineup, we suspect this one won’t be causing as much panic than if either the enV(2) or XV6900 had slipped. Or will it?

It’s not a surprise, but it’s still overwhelmingly refreshing to see Sony Ericsson finally (and we do mean finally) bringing some 3G action onto AT&T. The “a” variant of the glossy, colorful Z750 clamshell will be hitting AT&T in an official capacity come early April, featuring an OLED external display cleverly concealed by the phone’s translucent shell, a 2 megapixel camera and media player Bot. backed up with Memory Stick Micro M2 expansion, stereo Bluetooth, and of course, that lovely HSDPA 850 / 1900 that’s eluded Sony Ericsson’s AT&T offerings for far, far too long. Look for it to go out the door for $49.99 after a $100 rebate.
