Windows Mobile 6.5 phones coming Oct. 6 – C-Net
Microsoft is hoping that a new crop of phones this fall will help the company in its quest to stay relevant in the cell phone market.
The software maker said on Tuesday that the first phones running Windows Mobile 6.5 will launch worldwide on October 6 and will include phones running on AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon Wireless.
The new crop of phones will also be the first that Microsoft will sell under the “Windows Phone” brand, an effort to tap into the marketing power of its flagship desktop operating system.
M$ is already too far behind to make a difference. Their product sucks and is having their ass kicked by Apple, RIM and even Google.
Amazing, that Microsoft would pick the worst phone on the face of the earth. Just a few idiotic interface issues with this phone. 1. The screen wakes upon ringing, but disconnects if anything but connect is touched when removing from its pouch. 2. Default email setting, “reply all”. 3. The screen goes blank on any phone connection, so voice mail require you to wake the screen, then call up the keyboard to access voicemail whereupon it goes blank again and you do it again at each step to call up your message. And the list of stupid interface stupidity goes on and on. And none of these interface problems are changeable. It’s like no one at HTC ever used the phone.
