Techwatch.co.uk has picked up an interesting piece on the release date of the Acer F1 – which will co-incidentally be the same date that WinMo 6.5 launches!
The date in question is 6th October, and although the F1 could be big news for the UK, Verizon is doing it US-style on the same day by launching the HTC Imagio on the same day. Makes you wonder if Microsoft have been doing some co-ordinated marketing, doesn’t it?
For those that are a bit memory-lite (like me), then the F1 is a Qualcomm-powered beast, clocking in what seems to be the new standard for high-end smartphones: 1GHz. In addition to that, there is a 3.8 inch touchscreen, and 5MP camera – all very respectable.
Of course, WinMo 6.5 is somewhat of a stop-gap until the bigger news of WinMo 7 arrives, packing a bunch of new features.

Ben Robinson
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
