Microsoft has settled on the final date of releasing the new version of its Windows Mobile platform. The all new Windows Mobile 6.5 is ready to be launched on October 6 and all leading cell phone manufacturers are ready with their announcements and upgrades associated with the popular platform.

Some of the smart phone devices existing in the market with Windows Mobile 6.1 have been carrying on their promises for an upgrade to version 6.5 and now, it is the time for the promises to be fulfilled. At the same time, there are new phones on the lists that will be directly released with the support from the new operating system version.

Among the top devices ready for an upgrade are Samsung Omnia II, HTC Touch Pro2 and HTC Touch Diamond 2. Needless to say, all these devices will offer a free upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.5.

LG is one company that showed its budding partnership with Microsoft in the MWC of February 2009. With the news of new version of Windows Mobile, the manufacturer has lined up three devices for an upgrade by the end of this year. It is difficult to name these devices, but rumors say that one will be a full touch screen device (most probably, LG GM730) and another will be a bar phone with QWERTY (most likely to be LG GW550). The third device will be a touch enabled device with sliding QWERTY.

Another good piece of information is that LG is planning as many as 10 new devices for next year that will run on Windows Mobile 6.5.
