With the retail launch of Windows Mobile 6.5 this morning, Microsoft announced a wide array of phones running their new OS.

We have hands-ons, previews or reviews of three of the four US phones: the HTC Tilt 2, HTC Pure, and HTC Imagio. The fourth US phone, the Samsung Intrepid, will be coming to Sprint on Sunday, October 11 for $149.99 with a two-year contract and $100 mail-in rebate.

But the real Windows Mobile activity, it seems, is going on outside the US. Here's what foreigners get:

• Acer beTouch E100, beTouch E101, beTouch E200 and Acer neoTouch
• Garmin-Asus nuvifone M20
• HTC Touch2, HD2, MDA Vario V, and MDA Compact V
• LG GM550 and GM750
• Samsung Omnia, Omnia II, Omnia PRO (three different models), and Omnia LITE
• TMN Bluebelt 2 and Silverbelt
• Toshiba TG01 W
• ZTE X60

Now, that isn't quite as bad as it seems for Americans. Some of those models, such as the Samsung Omnia II, are slated to come here eventually, and the HTC MDA Vario V and Compact V are better known here as the Tilt 2 and Pure. But it's a big world, and as usual, we're only a small part of it.
