Microsoft, which is planning to unveil its Windows Mobile 6.5 platform at the Mobile World Congress, has decided that, going forward, Windows Mobile-based handsets will be promoted simply as Windows phones without specifying an OS version number.

In additional news, Microsoft is expected to unveil a beta version of Windows Mobile 7.0 by the end of 2009 with plans to release the platform to device makers in April 2010.

Sales of Windows Mobile-based handsets totaled about 20 million units in 2008, accounting for 13% of the global handset sales.
