The release date of Windows Mobile 6.5 announced by Microsoft

Due to the great number of leaked ROMs and test handset units we´ve seen to date, say the Samsung OmniaLITE B7300), we already know quite a few things about Windows Mobile 6.5. Still, an official announcement by Microsoft about the release date is a whole lot different. The new version of the operating system will become available on 6 October and power new generation of Windows-based smartphones that will feature access to services like Windows Marketplace for Mobile and Microsoft My Phone. The software giant has a host of partnering companies around the Globe, but the first Windows Mobile 6.5 cell phone to hit the shelves will be the LG GM730.

So, tell us what you think. Are you excited about the upcoming release of the new OS version?
