Presenting Windows Mobile 6.5 (beta)!
Windows Mobile, while not perfect, has come a long way from the days I was using it on my O2 XDA II.
From Microsoft’s Press Release:
BARCELONA, Spain — Feb. 16, 2009 — Today at Mobile World Congress 2009, Microsoft Corp. CEO Steve Ballmer along with key mobile partners, HTC, LG and Orange, unveiled new Windows® phones featuring new user-friendly software and services. The next generation of Windows® phones will be based on Windows Mobile 6.5 and feature a new user interface and a richer browsing experience. In addition, Windows® phones will feature two new services: My Phone, to sync text messages, photos, video, contacts and more to the Web; and Windows® Marketplace for Mobile, a new marketplace that will provide direct-to-phone mobile applications and can be accessed from both the phone and the Web.
Contacts are backed up with My Phone so users don’t have to worry about losing contacts.“Windows® phones bring together the best of the Web, the PC and the phone so you can connect instantly to the experiences you care about, no matter where you are,” Ballmer said. “We’re working with partners across the industry to deliver a new generation of Windows® phones that break down the barriers between people, information and applications and provide great end-to-end experiences that span your entire life, at work and at home.”
The press release also states that the first mobiles to be running Windows Mobile 6.5 will be:
- LG-GM7300
- HTC Touch Diamond 2
- HTC Touch Pro 2
