Windows Mobile 6.5

Microsoft’s new Windows Mobile cell phone OS is set to be available in new smartphones starting October 6, 2009, a little over a month away.  The new OS is supposed to have an easier UI, superior browsing capabilities, Windows Marketplace for Mobile, and a way to back up all phone information called My Phone

Let’s look at the cell phone manufacturers in various parts of the world who will create phones using the Windows Mobile 6.5 OS.  In North America, AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, Bell, and Telus will all carry phones using the 6.5 OS.  Manufacturers such as LG, Samsung, HP, HTC, and Toshiba will be creating such phones.  Expect similar carriers and manufactures for Europe, Latin America, and Asia. 

A redesigned Internet Explorer hopes to make the browsing experience easier and more efficient.  Using Adobe Flash Lite, pages and other tasks will be rendered faster, which will definitely please users.  Microsoft Office Mobile has been revamped and allows users to open, read, and edit any Word, PowerPoint, or Excel file.  Be sure to take advantage of a new Microsoft Outlook Mobile to manage all your emails and sync between your PC and phone.  Of course, no smartphone is complete without strong social networking capabilities, such as Windows Live - a tool that combines many social networking sites such as Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace. 

Whether you are using Windows Mobile 6.5 with a physical keyboard, or it’s all touch - the OS is designed to work on any type hardware phone.  Also, users have the ability to change the homescreen with personal images and can fill it with the widgets used most often.
