By now you’ve heard of the HTC Imagio.  Here’s a quick hands on with the device running Windows Mobile 6.5.  I’m pretty impressed with the updated OS and although I’d never give up my iPhone, for any of you locked into the WM platform I can honestly promote this iteration.  Oh, and the Imagio is pretty slick as it bears and iPhone like form factor.

AT&T officially announced the availability of the HTC Tilt 2 and Pure. We’ve already seen the Tilt 2 with official AT&T branding and it looks like they’ll be charging a pretty hefty sum much like the other carriers out there. The PURE on the other hand, will be a bit cheaper but still cost a pretty penny. On a more positive note, both of these phones will be the first to sport Windows Mobile 6.5 on the AT&T network.

Feature wise the Tilt 2 has a 3.6-inch touchscreen and a slide out QWERTY keyboard. They’ve also stuffed in dual speakers and dual microphones for some much needed…

It was just a few days ago that we got word of Verizon’s Imagio handset, and now today the wireless company has made it official. As previously mentioned this will be one of the first handsets to sport the long awaited Windows Mobile 6.5. Unlike many of HTC’s phones, the Imagio lacks a slide out…

It looks like Verizon is set to launch yet another HTC phone, yet this one, the HTC XV6975 Imagio, lacks a physical QWERTY keyboard. While price and actual launch date are still unknown, specs wise were looking at a 3.6-inch touchscreen, Windows Mobile 6.5, microSD card slot, 3.5mm headphone jack, 528mhz processor of some sort, 5mp autofocus camera, WiFi…

As if Hugo Boss’ phone wasn’t enough of a blemish on the cell phone industry, Armani has now turned around and announced that they’ve partnered with Samsung to produce a branded phone.  Details are ultra scarce, but according to Ryu Jae-hyun, Samsung Taiwan’s mobile marketing department director, the Armani phone will launch this Fall and run Windows Mobile 6.5.

The above image is a ‘mock up’ that’s making its way across the Blogosphere.

Woopsie.  An exec at Telstra got himself a Touch Diamond running Windows Mobile 6.5.  Thing is he lost it, or like he says ’someone stole it’.  Microsoft is freaking and Steve is laughing.

While at CES I totally overlooked the Exeda from Compulabs, a handheld device that will run both Android and Windows Mobile.  This week the device – which sports a 3.5-inch VGA touchscreen, QWERTY keyboard, touchpad (i.e. mousepad), multiple connectivity options (GSM/GPRS, CDMA and 3G) and 520MHz Marvell CPU – has shown up running Windows Mobile 6.5.  And unlike the version of the OS we saw a few days ago, this one is showing the honeycomb nav that we got a taste of a few months back.

I’m sure it’s an understatement to say that ‘many of you have been waiting for a new and improved (at least refreshed) Window’s Mobile OS’. Well, apparently it will launch Q3 of ‘09. But as Gizmodo points out, it’s more realistic to expect it in Q4 since many of the carriers will require customization – you know, the whole brand alignment thing. There’s a video showing off Windows Mobile 6.5, but if I were you, I’d take it with a grain of salt, although some of the UI looks refreshed much of the old is still in there.

It most certainly doesn’t look like those leaked images we posted a few months back.

Reports indicate that this may be the new interface for the soon to be released Windows Mobile 6.5. If the images are accurate, and let’s sure hope so, Microsoft seems to have revamped the interface to actually make it usable. What a concept!
