WINDOWS MOBILE 6.5 PHONES WILL NOT UPGRADE TO 7 SERIES

Windows Mobile 6.5 phone users won't be happy to hear that they won't be able to upgrade their phones to the 7 series due to lack of compatibility.

Microsoft are now explaining that the Windows Mobile 6.5 phones won't be compatible with the advanced Window 7 series operating system. And vice versa, the apps that are designed for Windows Mobile 6.5 - a whole 20,000+ apps in the Windows Marketplace - won't be able to run on the Windows 7 Series.

The new 7 Series OS in its adaptation has been changed from a business-orientated operating system to a consumer-friendly phone focused on media and gaming. But the fact that Windows Phone 7 seems pretty much incapable of being compatible with anything is a huge hindrance on its success.
