    Phone with Windows Mobile beta reported stolen

    I know that Windows Mobile 6.5 looks exciting but someone has taken it too far....This story is from Cnet News :

     

    A phone running the beta of Microsoft's new Windows Mobile 6.5 has gone missing from a Telstra executive, a spokesperson for the Australian telecommunications company confirmed to sister site ZDNET Australia.

    Early reports claimed the phone had been given to Telstra chief executive Sol Trujillo, but Telstra says that is not true. Several online reports suggest the phone was pickpocketed, but Telstra would not confirm details of how the phone was lost. What we do know is that the phone had been loaned by Microsoft to a Telstra executive during the Mobile World Congress, a huge mobile technology conference in Barcelona, Spain. A report in The Courier Mail suggests that the phone was either an HTC Touch Pro2 or the HTC Touch Diamond2, running the new Windows Mobile 6.5 operating system.

    Microsoft unveiled the newest version of its mobile operating system on Monday. Microsoft showed off the OS running on an HTC Touch Diamond2 on Tuesday (see the photo gallery here).

     Wow, unreleased OS on an unreleased device. I wonder which the thief was after. I'm not dismissing WM6.5 beta but it's all over the web anyway. The Diamond 2 however...........
