A wave of new devices will be flooding the market with Windows Mobile, thanks in no small part to the new version of the OS, Windows Mobile 6. The ideal situation would be that you can get any device you like wherever you are. But that's not always possible because companies may not release all their products in any given country. The Asia-Pacific region is a big place, and it's hard to keep track of your own country's launch timeline for so many devices.

Let CNET Asia do the dirty work for you. With help from Microsoft and the various handheld manufacturers, we've put together a list of upcoming Windows Mobile devices, and split them up according to where they will be launched. Click on your country's name to find out what you can be expecting.

Note that prices provided do not include taxes and operator rebates. They will therefore differ from country to country. Contact your local distributors and retailers for prices relevant to your area.
