Windows Mobile 6.5 Upgrades – October 6, 2009
On this, the eve of the public release of Windows Mobile 6.5, aka Windows Phone, I wanted to pick up where I left off with my previous popular postings on the public Windows Mobile 6.1 upgrades available for devices..
Many of these are not released yet, but due to the 6.5 marketing efforts some approximate release dates are being made public. As they are released I will attempt to collect the links as I did previously with the Windows Mobile 6.1 upgrades. This time around Microsoft is also helping and providing their own official upgrade list here.
I welcome comments and feedback to make the list useful for as many as possible. This list is not for the various non-official and non-supported cooked ROMs being made for many devices. My intent is to give assistance to enterprise staff supporting their production environments.
But this could also turn out to be more of an watch list until a confirmed update from a OEM/Carrier. :-) By no means should this list (until valid links are present) be an official stance of future availability. Most are unconfirmed rumors at this point I’m afraid.. The big CTIA show this week will probably have several announcements and availability statements.
Okay, off we go!
