Windows Mobile 6.5 cellphones coming October 6th
Monday, November 23rd, 2009
Unfortunately for those on the hunt for nitty-gritty details, the headline in this place just about says it all. In a shockingly vague release from Microsoft, the Redmond-based giant has declare that the first batch of Windows Mobile 6.5 handsets will launch on October 6th, or around three weeks after its Zune HD. If we’re reading this correctly, it looks as if this round of cellies will be the first to be called “Windows phones,” and aside from promising “new customer experiences” and superior browsing capabilities, they’ll also feature Windows Marketplace for Mobile (an app store), Microsoft My Phone (a backup service) and Office Mobile. Concerning what phones we’ll see, all we’re told is that HTC, HP, LG, Samsung, Toshiba, Sony Ericsson and a few other big time players are onboard, with just about every carrier in the world (save for T-Mobile USA) also voicing their support.
