According to what you see above, AT&T will be launching the LG Monaco and the HP Obsidian in November of this year. Both handsets will launch with Windows Mobile 6.5 on-board. In case you forgot, the Monaco has: a 5MP AF camera, a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, WiFi 802.11 b/g, GPS support, and GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS/HSDPA connectivity.

The HP Obsidian looks like it will have: a 3.5mm headphone jack, GPS / WiFi 802.11 b/g / Bluetooth 2.0 support, GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS/HSDPA connectivity, a QWERTY keypad, and a microSD card slot.

On a side note, the AT&T Tilt 2 will be released next month (October), but we already knew that. The Samsung Epix and Samsung Jack will also be upgradeable to WinMo 6.5 as well.
