Also, some insight into why the 6500 has been delayed. Thanks, blueshockeynut… http://msmobiles.com/f/viewtopic.php?t=8994 |

Agreed. I’d rather them wait and throughly test the device before launch. I also hope the GPS service provider they select won’t charge per city map (as I believe Tom Tom’s business model is). That’s insane. Of course, the longer they wait on releasing the Mobile Messenger, the greater the expection that it *ship* with Windows Mobile 5. | |

To have Windows Mobile 5 on the hw6500 would be the icing on the cake Only thing that would be missing would be WiFi, but thats supposed to be available on the 6700. I assume that 6700 would most defiently have Windows mobile 5 on it as well since a release date hasn’t be specified yet. |
