It seems that Windows Mobile 6.5 is far from dead. Just recently, it was announced that the operating system will be coming out in the new Samsung Omnia Pro 4 and Omnia Pro 5 handsets, and now, it will be used in one of the first few dual SIM smart phones available on the market, following on from Nokia’s recently announced C2 and C1-00 handsets.
Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional is an old operating system, with the new Windows Phone 7 mobile platform due to come out sometime later this year (estimates place the first WP7 device to launch by October), it was understandable that many believed that WinMo was about to scrapped.
Microsoft has other plans for the operating system. When they announced the coming of WP7 at the MWC in Barcelona Spain, they also started that they will continue to support and develop for the WinMo OS. In fact, they even hinted that the WinMo platform will be getting a name change to Windows Phone Classic once the newer WP7 becomes available. This will keep the older OS running as it is their key product for the business market.
As expected, the new WP7 OS is far too much for the business class user. The OS may have a lot to offer in terms of games, social networking and media functions, but it lacks the business solutions that are available in Windows Mobile.
Gigabyte’s new GSmart smart phone offers the Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional, decent hardware and of course, dual SIM support. This means that many business professionals (who tend to carry around two mobile phones) will really enjoy being able to have the convenience of having just one handset. The only drawback is that the device lacks 3G support which is crucial for many business users as WiFi access is not always accessible and many people find GPRS and EDGE too slow even for basic email.
