HTC sets Window Mobile 6 upgrade deadline for October 31st

Back in April of last year, HTC came clean with its Windows Mobile 6 upgrade plans. Fast forward to now, and the very same company is getting official with the cutoff plans. October 31st will be the very last day (no tricks, folks) for select Windows Mobile 5 users to get a free upgrade to WinMo 6 via HTC's website. More specifically, October 31st at 12:00PM GMT -- after the clock strikes 12:01PM, the download link will be removed for eternity. The affected handsets are the S621, S620, P4350, P3300 and HTC Advantage, and while we'd typically encourage you to stop procrastinating and get on with the upgrade, we know in our hearts there's no way you're still rocking WinMo 5. Right? Right.

I wonder if I will get any reply what so ever, but I'll still ask..
I am planning on buying a Windows Mobile phone by the end of this year (most likely the HTC Touch Diamond/Pro/HD)
But I heard Windows Mobile 7 will be coming out sometime next year..
Will it be possible to upgrade from 6 to 7?
