Microsoft’s Project Pink, (code name for their new phones) was noticeably absent from the Mobile World Congress in February. Last month Gizmodo leaked documents stating that the new Microsoft “Turtle” will be released late in April, with rumors hinting that the Microsoft “Pure” isn’t far behind.
Microsoft releasing new cell phones to Verizon this month
The new Turtle is square looking and is touted to be a social media Smartphone with the tag line “Make your network more social.” Not much information is being released on the Pure except that it is a horizontal slider and is headed for Verizon as well.
Neither of the new phones is running the new Microsoft Windows Mobile 7 OS. What is Microsoft thinking? Windows Mobile 6xx is not upgradeable to Windows Mobile 7, so why would anyone want the new phones? Or perhaps this is a statement about how buggy Windows Mobile 7 will be? Personally I will be taking a wait and see approach. I am ready for a new phone, but think I will wait until the dust settles.
