Microsoft has announced that the first Windows phones, identified by the fact that they are running Windows Mobile 6.5, will be made available at retail stores worldwide on October 6, 2009. The software maker said on Tuesday that the first phones running Windows Mobile 6.5 will launch worldwide on October 6 and will include phones running on AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon Wireless. These new phones will also come with two new services: Microsoft My Phone, which allows customers to automatically backup and sync photos, music, contacts, and text messages from their phone to the Web, and Windows Marketplace for Mobile, a store for mobile applications that will be accessible from both the Windows phone and the Web.

Windows Mobile 6.5 sports a redesigned Internet Explorer browser, based on IE6, effectively kicking up a notch the quality of the web surfing user experience. Contributing to a desktop-like browsing UX is the fact that IE6 brings to the table a new engine as well as default, built-in Adobe Flash Lite support.
