A few days before the beginning of 3GSM, Microsoft officially announced its new version of the Windows Mobile operating system, with the code name “Crossbow” and the final model number “6”. There are a few improvement when compared to the WM5 OS, but what is more important is that the new OS should have taken care of some annoying problems the 5.0 version has. The OS will now come with built-in support for previewing and editing of Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents, as well as full integration for Windows Live. HTML-formatted email and enchanced Calendar featuring "Calendar ribbon" are also some of the improvements.The Windows Mobile 6 will not only be more powerful, but will also use your hardware better, making your mobile device faster and more efficient.

It's not a matter of "if", but "when" will WM5 users be able to upgrade to 6? Not to mention how.

Upgrading to WM6
It will only become possible if the manufacturer of your pda or pda/phone decides to offer a software update. Go to the website of your pda manufacturer & check there. For example, a WM6 update has already been announced for some pda/phones, such as T-Mobile's Dash.
