Windows Mobile 6.5, the upcoming version of Microsoft's operating system for mobile phones, has been completed, and it is expected to come to the market on the first devices in about two months or so from now. There are no exact details on when the new platform will hit the shelves, yet it seems that the first videos with it have already emerged into the wild.

This time around, the Windows Mobile 6.5 has been caught on tape running on the Motorola Q9H. The version of the platform that can be seen in the video below is the Standard one, which seems to be about the same thing as the currently available WinMo 6.1 platform. The handset that it is running on is a rather old one, and users who would like to upgrade their phones to the new version should be delighted to learn that support for them already exists, though it all depends on what manufacturers and carriers they have in mind.

As for the looks of Windows Mobile 6.5, some people might be disappointed by the fact that it resembles the previous version that much, yet an explanation as to why things are this way will probably emerge in the near future. On the other hand, Microsoft already announced that the new software came more as some sort of enhancement to the existing platform, and that the real advancement would come along with Windows Mobile 7, which should arrive in the first half of next year.

Even so, the upcoming platform will also bring a series of novelties to WinMo users, including support for the Windows Marketplace for Mobile and a series of other services that the Redmond-based software company has recently released into the wild. At the same time, we should also wait for the first touchscreen handsets running under 6.5 to come to the market to see how it looks and performs there, for it might offer some pleasant surprises in the end.
