According to Microsoft, three of the US’ big four carriers which to be specific are AT&T, Sprint and Verizon will be hitting the ground hard with Windows Mobile 6.5.
This will be part of the synchronised launch globally on October 6th. Microsoft deserve some credit for this the launching of a single device around the world on the same day is a challenge in itself.

Sadly that’s about all we know on the subject, hardware is still unknown, though we can safety hazard a guess that it will be something that will involve HTC. Source – engadgetmobile.com
