The first consumer phones with Windows Mobile 6.5 will start to appear on Oct 6th, according to the Windows Mobile team.  However, considering that many data collection device manufacturers are only now starting to ship Windows Mobile 6.1, it could be awhile before any of them upgrade to WM 6.5.  We are waiting to see if any of the new WM 6.5 features will be useful for data collection devices anyway - it appears this is an upgrade aimed at making the consumer phone better, with a more finger-friendly home screen and the Windows Marketplace for Mobile.
