Telstra Loses Secret Windows Mobile 6.5 Phone
Friday, February 20th, 2009 at 9:35 AM - by Jeff Gamet
Microsoft's tightly guarded Windows Mobile 6.5 operating system isn't supposed to be in the public's hands yet, but at least one non-Microsoftie is getting a sneak peek now that Telstra's CEO lost his prototype HTC phone that was running the yet-to-be-released OS. The phone was apparently snatched by a pickpocket in Barcelona during the Mobile World Congress, according to BizTech.
Telstra boss, Sol Trujillo, lent the phone to another company executive who later realized it had been lifted from their pocket.
The theft could spell bad news for Microsoft if the thief notices the phone is running the unreleased operating system and hands finds a way to show off the software. Such a move could potentially reveal features Microsoft is trying to keep secret, or it could leave the company with egg on its face if showing off the smartphone reveals what's missing and how much work the OS still needs.
Microsoft, however, doesn't seem overly concerned about the loss. "Although we regret that the prototype given to Telstra was misplaced, we don't envisage the loss of one Windows Mobile 6.5 phone in Barcelona as impacting Microsoft in any way," a company spokesperson said.
For now it looks like Microsoft has bigger issues to deal with, like making sure Windows Mobile 6.5 can hold its own against Apple's iPhone -- and finding more secure pants for Telstra's executive team.
