Windows Mobile not finished despite 7 Series
The big news that came out of Mobile World Congress this year was Microsoft’s complete rebuild of their mobile platform. At last, Windows Mobile was going to be replaced with a modern looking smartphone OS. But don’t think that it is going away completely. It has now been confirmed that Windows Mobile 6.5 will now more »

Finally, a sexy Windows Mobile phone: HTC Leo
