Motorola to release Windows Mobile 6.5 phone in 2009

Motorola to release Windows Mobile 6.5 phone in 2009. According to PC Magazine, Motorola expects to release a phone based on Windows Mobile 6.5 platform in the second half of 2009, and an Android-based device for the 2009 holiday season.

"Windows Mobile 6 has not delivered the experience that I think Apple has been able to deliver, but as you look at the plan that is Windows Mobile 7 and even 6.5, I think there are significant new added features which will help the platform," Jha said. "We have now targeted new teams which are focused – in California and Seattle – to deliver experiences. That is where we have to differentiate."

It seems Microsoft will be releasing Windows Mobile 6.5 before releasing Windows Mobile 7.
