- Since this Windows site is hosted at the Microsoft.com domain, at least we won't be wondering about it's legitimacy this time.

- Silverlight huh? Can anyone tell me the point of a Windows Mobile dedicated website that can't even be accessed properly from a Windows mobile device?

- Nice.
I would like to see the basic OS in action though. This seems to be focused on office mobile, which is impressive but doesn't give a good feel for other things such as web browsing, placing a call, etc.

Looking at the new Windows Mobile homepage it is clear that some significant work has gone into promoting the benefits of a Microsoft-powered device, with users able to compare the latest devices being offered by worldwide carriers, filtering by features such as touch screen, flip keyboard or WiFi. The results of these searches are still on the old-style pages, which when you click through to show just had poorly these products have been marketed. There’s also a new interactive experience, showing off the new Windows Mobile 6.1 UI and how with Windows Live and Microsoft Office Mobile it complements the existing PC experience.
