Windows Mobile 6.5: a family portrait

Can you name them all? Don't worry, it's a lot to keep track of. Clockwise we have the HTC Tilt 2 (AT&T), Toshiba TG01 (not announced for US), HTC Imagio (Verizon), HTC Pure (AT&T), Samsung Intrepid (Sprint) and LG GM750 (not announced for US). It's a pretty diverse roundup, with two QWERTY phones in the mix and an incredible variety of home screens and themes, though all six do house touchscreens -- resistive, of course. Check out a super quick meet and greet after the break.

WinMo is going to put HTC out of business. Fine hardware running a shyte OS. More than half of HTC's lineup is WinManure. HTC should balance it 90% Android and 10% WinMoan otherwise HTC will be looking at bankruptcy in a year's time. Only the most diehard Ballmer fanbois will purchase HTC products that are running that old-fashioned Microsoft OS.

HTC took another hit this financial quarter with a huge drop in sales thanks to WinMo 6.1. The cosmetic update called 6.5 won't help at all.

They all look so pretty...
Except for the Intrepid =D.

I'm very impressed with the latest offerings from WinMo. Hoping 7 is even better and has some sexy phones.

I kinda hope that they will offer the Imagio w/o a camera as well, so I can get one for work. Starting Jan 1, we won't be able to bring camera phones into the building I work in, so I'll have to give back my BB Tour

To me they look like the ugly cousins of the HTC HD2.

Wow, I've become a HD2 fanboy. I think I'll suspend my commenting privileges for a while :P

This pic is a great illustration of how WinMo is the most diverse smartphone family. You can pick basically any hardware form that you prefer and then tweak the software through 3rd party apps til it's exactly what you want it to be. I'm still on my 3rd Treo. The longer I wait for my inevitable upgrade, the more I like WinMo.... I'm willing to accept a little less stability if I have basically unlimited options on how I use it.

Something is missing....oh right, my HTC Touch Pro that has been running windows 6.5 for about 6 months now. =)

I would like to thank Apple for building the iPhone and shaking up the industry... in turn, making Microsoft (and others) more motivated to produce some better smartphones.

I am excited about the HD2 and really think that I have Apple to thank for that.
