The next step in Microsoft's effort to penetrate the mobile phone market comes on Oct. 8 when the latest handset using Microsoft's Smartphone operating system is given a worldwide launch. The Smartphone, which is being produced by "a company with considerable experience of the wireless space," will offer "some radical innovations," according to an e-mail invitation sent by a public relations company for the unnamed mobile handset manufacturer.

"We can't reveal the company because of non-disclosure agreements, but I can say that it will be a global launch and that the manufacturer has a range of Smartphones on the way," said Lewis Webb of the U.K. public relations company AxiCom.
