Microsoft's
Windows Mobile 6.5 release is just a month away, and so too are the first phones that will utilize it.
Boy Genius Report has managed to get its hands on one slide from a recent AT&T concall confirming a partial list of the handsets set to ship with the new, improved, more finger-friendly flavor of the OS, and even a few models that will be upgraded to it. Two from Samsung, the
Epix and
Jack , will receive version updates in October, while HP's
Obsidian , earlier targeted for
November , seems to have been pushed back to December, and LG's
Monaco similarly has slipped to November. HTC's
Fortress (a.k.a. the Pro2), however, will apparently be ready with bells on next month. As will we, dear readers. As will we.
