… we will finally get to see and enjoy the latest Windows Mobile devices and I expect we will be quite happy with the options available to us. 

The following was from the Windows Mobile Blog

In just five weeks, you’ll have a bunch of new Windows phones to choose from. But before we show you some of the cool, new phones that will be coming out, I want to explain how we’re trying to make phones even better with Windows.

When we started work on Windows phones, we met with people all over the world who were likely to buy a smartphone and talked with them about what’s important to them in their phone. Looking at the U.S. market, for example, we found that about 15 million people in the next year will buy a new smartphone.

Of the people we talked to, 74% listed productivity as the top feature they value in their smartphone. We took this feedback to heart, making the user interface more touch friendly and improving notifications and updates from e-mail, text and calendar items. We also included the latest Internet Explorer Mobile browser and added free services like My Phone to help protect data in the event of a lost phone and Windows Marketplace for Mobile for access to a wide variety of applications for direct download.

There is MORE so click Read the full story below


Interestingly enough, we discovered that most people who carry a Windows phone don’t realize it’s running Windows Mobile. We also heard from many people considering their very first smartphone purchase that they’d very strongly consider a phone running Windows because it’s a brand they know and trust. You’ll see us try to simplify our branding so it’s easier for people to know when they’re carrying a Windows phone and easier to find them in stores.

One thing that was very clear after all these conversations about phones is that there is no “one size fits all” in this market. On Oct. 6th, you’ll see new Windows phones designed for a variety of tastes, needs and price points – with or without keyboards, with or without touch screens, as well as your choice of GPS, accelerometer and high resolution camera. There are a lot of great options and we can’t wait to show them to you. Until then, keep an eye on our partners as they announce details on new Windows phones and where you can find them this fall.

  • "Interestingly enough, we discovered that most people who carry a Windows phone don’t realize it’s running Windows Mobile."

    Wow, that's just amazing. Poor branding, poor marketing.
  • Poor marketing perhaps, probably because Microsoft sells to OEMs, not consumers. How many Windows ads did you see until Microsoft started responding to the Mac vs. PC ads? (In fact, maybe the OEMs didn't want Microsoft to advertise Windows because it would marginalize their hardware. Remember how OEMs reacted to the Intel Inside ads?)

    However, the branding is there. How can people miss the little Windows logo in the Start menu? Or does the iPhone beat your eyeballs with the Apple logo everywhere?

    Or maybe Microsoft didn't want people to know. :D

    Hurry, tell more about what is coming so I can get to the Verizon store and pick up a new phone. I've been carrying around a phone and my Axim for far too long. Tried a Blackberry and had some fun, did not like the Treo much, and mostly just kept upgrading some great LG phones, waiting for a combination: Win OS, large touch screen, upgradeable, bluetooth, music and videos, computer sync, gps, easy, clear internet access, substantial, but lightweight.....
    Hurry, tell me more.
