Microsoft shows updated Windows Mobile 6 behind closed doors    [ 29-11-2007 16:25 ]

Author: Irina Turina   Source: Engadget     Translation by: Rytchkova Anja     

Microsoft held a closed demonstration of the next version of Windows Mobile 6 at the annual Mobius 2007 conference. The company showed an update of the current platform, not an upgrade (Windows Mobile 7 – Photon). It is running on the current hardware. However many have the impression the new version has nothing revolutionary, most features are somewhat belated.

The manufacturers will have WM 6 update in 1Q 2008. The company hasn’t provided any details on the new opportunities. Probably we’ll hear about it at CES 2008 in January.

As it was expected the iPhone has debuted in France available from Orange operator. Without the contract it costs €749 - €6490 is the price for the phone and €100 for unlocking services. I’d remind you that T-Mobile started sales of an unlocked iPhone in Germany a week ago, however the operator offered it for €999.

At the same time Orange subscribers can buy the iPhone traditionally with a 2-year service plan. In this case the phone will go for €399 and monthly fee will vary from €49 to €119 depending on the service plan. The iPhone is available at Orange stores and online. Currently the site has over 63000 orders.
