The only ROM upgrades to Windows Mobile 5.0 from Windows Mobile 2003 will be available for some Pocket PC PDAs (not phones) from HP, Dell, and some other vendors. <br /></font></div> <div class="newsitemfooter" align="justify"><br /><font face="Tahoma" size="2">Conclusion: don't buy any Windows Mobile phone if it is not powered by Windows Mobile 5.0 or if a vendor/distributor of given phone is not giving <strong>official</strong> promise that upgrade to Windows Mobile 5.0 will be available. <br /></font></div> <div class="newsitemfooter" align="justify"><br /><font face="Tahoma" size="2">Please note: first official devices with Windows Mobile 5.0 will be available in August 2005. It's also important to notice that Windows Mobile 5.0 works also in low resolution of 176x220 and technically speaking it can work on any Windows Mobile phone.</font></div></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><a target="_blank" title="http://www.msmobiles.com/news.php/3834.html" href="http://www.msmobiles.com/news.php/3834.html"><font face="Tahoma" size="2">Original Link</font></a><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><font face="Georgia" size="2">George J.<br /></font>
