I have been using a T-Mobile Dash as my cell phone for several months now, and I really like it a lot. So I was going along perfectly happy with my T-Mobile Dash (which runs on the Windows Mobile 5 operating system) until Bill Patterson gave me a sneak peak of Windows Mobile 6 at the Convergence conference. As happy as I was with my dash, I had some serious envy of the shiny new Windows Mobile 6 OS. It appeared much faster, it looked very cool, and I wanted it right away. Unfortunately unlike Bill, I didn't have access to the goods so I have been patiently waiting for T-Mobile to post the Windows Mobile 6 update on their website, and it appears that tomorrow is the big day. Can't wait!

Here are some of the other great new features in Windows Mobile 6:

• Support for HTML e-mail: Improve readability with the ability to send and receive e-mail messages in HTML format, preserving tables, bulleted lists, colored text, links, and inline images.
• Out of Office Assistant*: Retrieve, set, and change your Out of Office status and AutoReply notification from a Windows Mobile 6-powered device.
• Smart on-device filtering: Search call history, contacts, and e-mail more quickly and efficiently.
• Exchange e-mail search*: Search for any e-mail message stored in an Exchange Server mailbox from your Windows Mobile 6-powered device.
• Enhanced Word Mobile editing tools: Cut/copy/paste and Spell Check
