Taiwanese electronics maker Asustek Computer Inc. plans to release in the months ahead two smartphones based on Microsoft's upcoming Windows Mobile 6 software.

The M530w, which offers a full QWERTY keyboard, and P526, with its built-in GPS, are on display this week at the Cebit trade show in Hanover, Germany. Both handsts are to be released in June, said an Asustek executive manning the company's booth.

Unveiled in February, Windows Mobile 6 is the next release of Microsoft's software for mobile phones. The software includes several improvements, including a revamped interface meant to more closely resemble Windows Vista, and tighter integration with Microsoft's corporate software products, such as Exchange Server 2007.
