Microsoft is approaching the October 6 launch of its Windows Mobile 6.5 operating system with renewed vigor, even though it is only the first, more humble course of a two-course meal, of which Windows Mobile 7 is the concluding course. With Windows Mobile 6.5, it hopes to change the current perception of WinMo phones and replace it with a nattier, bonnier picture.
The company announced Tuesday that AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon will begin offering phones running Windows Mobile 6.5 on October 6 itself, the very day they will be released globally. “These are going to be fabulous phones that meet the customers' needs for their whole life,” said Stephanie Ferguson, general manager at Microsoft’s Windows Mobile unit. Beginning with the launch of Windows Mobile 6.5, all WinMo-toting phones will be sold under the “Windows Phone” brand.
