As spotted on George Street in Sydney this morning, the last gasp attempt to clear out Windows Mobile 6.5 stock has hit the streets with men on mopeds wearing helmets with… well, I guess they kinda look like antennae…
The HTC HD Mini is to the HD2 what the iPhone Nano would be to the original iPhone. It’s well-built and charmingly small, but its OS is too dated to ever enjoy very much.

Windows Phone Series 7 is here, and it’s like nothing we’ve seen from Microsoft – or anyone else – before. But how does it measure up? And where does every other smartphone OS stand?
With the announcement of Windows Phone 7, Microsoft’s made it clear that they’re finally – and truly – getting back into the game. They also brutally kneecapped their existing phone software, effectively taking Microsoft out of mobile for the next six months.

The first and only time I saw Windows Mobile 6.5.3 in action, it was a grim scene. But according to Mary Jo Foley, the OS, which is now shipping on a single device, it’s more than a questionable makeover.
In my review, I lamented that Windows Mobile 6.5 didn’t feel finished. Now that we can see what Windows Mobile 6.5.x was eventually destined for, well, maybe that was for the best.
