It seems Samsung is giving its best to fix the i7500 fiasco — if you recall, the Korean company’s first Android device is still stuck to version 1.5 of Google’s mobile OS. On that note, we’re glad to inform you that Samsung hasn’t forgotten its Omnia Pop (SPH-M7200) users, who were just being blessed with the Windows Mobile 6.5 update.
Needless to say, if you’re in the affected group, wait no further – hop over to this page, download what it takes and proceed to update. Windows Mobile 6.5 is a much better OS than its predecessor – version 6.1. Make sure to backup all your data prior to clicking any buttons, though.
In addition to the latest version of Microsoft’s mobile OS, the upgraded firmware also brings the latest Subway maps.
This isn’t the only Samsung’s WinMo device that got the firmware update. Recently, we reported that MetroPCS’ Samsung Code and AT&T’s Samsung Epix (i907) got the same treatment.
We salute all handset maker moves that make users happy – and making sure even the older devices run the latest OS version is definitely such a move…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
