Ha! I predicted this! WinMo Classic will not die so easily. It's too versatile. Not only does it have a brazillion apps for it, it's customizable as hell, and some manufacturers have sold millions of phones skinning it.

I like the new WinMo7 and can't wait to get my hands on it, but Cleveland in IT is gonna breathe a little easy knowing he can continue to rock the Classic.]]>Feb 17th 2010 7:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/windows-mobile-6-5-to-be-redubbed-windows-phone-classic/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/windows-mobile-6-5-to-be-redubbed-windows-phone-classic/Feb 17th 2010 8:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/windows-mobile-6-5-to-be-redubbed-windows-phone-classic/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/windows-mobile-6-5-to-be-redubbed-windows-phone-classic/http://www.windowsphoneclassic.com/

Theres nothing classic about Windows Mobile 6.5 especially considering it came out late last year

A better name would be ''Windows Phone Dated'', as it looks really dated compared to Windows Phone 7, and not much different to Windows Mobile 2003 or 5 or 6 or 6.1]]>Feb 17th 2010 9:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/windows-mobile-6-5-to-be-redubbed-windows-phone-classic/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/windows-mobile-6-5-to-be-redubbed-windows-phone-classic/Feb 18th 2010 10:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/windows-mobile-6-5-to-be-redubbed-windows-phone-classic/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/windows-mobile-6-5-to-be-redubbed-windows-phone-classic/Feb 17th 2010 7:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/windows-mobile-6-5-to-be-redubbed-windows-phone-classic/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/windows-mobile-6-5-to-be-redubbed-windows-phone-classic/Feb 17th 2010 7:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/windows-mobile-6-5-to-be-redubbed-windows-phone-classic/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/windows-mobile-6-5-to-be-redubbed-windows-phone-classic/

Windows Mobile, Windows Phone, Windows CE, Pocket PC, PalmPC]]>Feb 17th 2010 10:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/windows-mobile-6-5-to-be-redubbed-windows-phone-classic/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/windows-mobile-6-5-to-be-redubbed-windows-phone-classic/

I'm envisioning an HD2 type device with the proper button layout, maybe drawing on the AMOLED screen and noise cancellation features of the Nexus and an upgraded camera?

It's not that easy.

There's no reason to cede sales in the meantime, just because there is a group of people who don't want to upgrade, if both like the current phone then both can live on happily after WP7S comes available. ]]>Feb 17th 2010 8:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/windows-mobile-6-5-to-be-redubbed-windows-phone-classic/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/windows-mobile-6-5-to-be-redubbed-windows-phone-classic/
You can't upgrade because the button configuration at the front of the Classic devices is different. You'd have to re-purpose existing buttons and MS doesn't want anyone to do that. They want the "search" button to be a search button, not an unused "home" key.]]>Feb 18th 2010 5:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/windows-mobile-6-5-to-be-redubbed-windows-phone-classic/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/windows-mobile-6-5-to-be-redubbed-windows-phone-classic/Feb 17th 2010 7:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/windows-mobile-6-5-to-be-redubbed-windows-phone-classic/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/windows-mobile-6-5-to-be-redubbed-windows-phone-classic/Should have called it Windows Nerd Phone!

From the source link: "Going forward, Windows Mobile 6.5 (and Windows Mobile 6.5.3) will be rebranded as Windows Phones Classic, and presumably the devices as Windows Phones Classic Series." They didn't forget anything, just didn't add the presumption. ]]>Feb 17th 2010 8:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/windows-mobile-6-5-to-be-redubbed-windows-phone-classic/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/windows-mobile-6-5-to-be-redubbed-windows-phone-classic/

I think this is a good idea. While we love the fact that Microsoft is trying something different, there are too many people who rely on the old Windows Mobile.
