While Windows Mobile 6.5 platform isn’t apparently turning out to be a success on several handsets, Microsoft Corp. has decided to come up with a more user-friendly stopgap version of the operating system, version 6.5.1, before it upgrades the platform to the next-generation Windows Mobile 7.

Microsoft has only recently released Windows Mobile 6.5 – on October 6th – but the software maker has reportedly been working on an update which will incorporate features that were left out.

The new stopgap iteration will bring in a host of improvements, such as the inclusion of a rewritten, touch-friendly contact application, according to the reports from the tech blog DownloadSquad.

In addition, the company is also bringing several user interface (UI) tweaks, like check boxes, re-designed buttons, and radio buttons in a bid to significantly enhance the visual appeal to the overall looks of the operating system.

The release date of the updated version hasn’t been declared yet, though some unofficial copies of the build for some specific handsets are already been available in the wild.
