What Version of Windows Mobile 6.5 is on my Device?

I have a Symbol MC 75. It is running Windows Mobile 6.5, but there are several updates after the basic Windows Mobile 6.5:

Windows Mobile 6.5
Windows Mobile 6.5.1
Windows Mobile 6.5.3
Windows Mobile 6.5.5

How do I know which one I am running?

I went to the about page for my device and it just says Windows Mobile 6.5. Does that mean I only have the 6.5 or is it not bothering to show me the update version?

NOTE: The CE OS version is: 5.2.21840 (build 21840.5.0.60) in case that helps.

Note 2: The reason I care is that there is a Developer Tool Kit that is targeted for 6.5.3 and I want to know if I can use it.

Looks like the start button is on the bottom with 6.5.3. Since it is still on the top corner I am guessing I am on 6.5 or 6.5.1.

Yes, 6.5.3 is much more finger friendly. See the images here: http://www.engadget.com/photos/microsoft-windows-mobile-6-5-3-shown-off-very-very-quietly/#2603099

Alas, my MC 75 does not have that. I may try to get it though if only for the nicer Soft Input Panel. (My app hides the OS so most of the OS specific stuff will not matter.)

I said in my question that I went to the about page. I also indicated what the about page said.

+1 A:

It looks like builds 5.2.28xxx are for 6.5.3 and 5.2.21xxx are for 6.5
