Haha turtle. Gee it Reminds me of... a slow paced animal. And the people that go: "why is this markt negative? Competition is good, right?". This is not competition. This is buying stocks at it's highest price knowing that it will only tumble. Just like the Zune and its brother ZuneHD. At this moment Microsoft is in a state that the more effort and energy they put in their company the more they will fail. By the way, did I already mention that the phones are ugly. I don't care whether m$ or sharp has desinged it. It doesn't make them less ugly.
Got a tip for us?

Dear god. I hope these remain as concepts.
Anyway, I suspect we will see a Zune Phone if they really are going down that route - which isn't certain - before too long. That should be interesting.

What with this and the tablet concept, Microsoft are clearly waking up. The slumbering, punch-drunk beast is stirring.

Good thing these have a keyboard, as we know, keyboards make them very good business machines so you can e-mail. Phones without keyboards aren't very good business machines.
Are you serious? You don't even know what other features this has but the keyboards "make them very good business machines"?
And I can email on my iPhone just fine, actually better then I did on my Blackberry.
I hope you are referring to virtual keyboards as well, because the iPhone doesn't have a physical keyboard and it is an excellent business machine.
It is you who are the moron. Everyone who has been following Project Pink for the past few months already knew that Microsoft has had a heavy influence and was working closely with the hardware manufacturer on this.
Yes they have copied Palm and their hardware and Palm copied much of their UI from Apple. Palm deserves everything they get.
Really? I use my iPhone for business purposes all the time. It's the best business phone I've ever had.
Same here - the iPhone easily "out types" the Blackberry in terms of both speed and accuracy.
It's one thing to post about Microsoft when they actually release a product. It's another to post a rumor about MS. This place is more obsessed about MS than even the PC sites.
Even if Microsoft does make this into a good product (good hardware, usable interface and so on), I think they will have a REALLY hard time selling this because of their crappy marketing. I've worked 10-15 years with PC's (and currently do 8h/day at work), and about 1 year with mac / iPhone. Let's play a little "say the first thing that comes to mind"-game. In my mind I'm leaning towards something like this:
Microsoft products: ugly, slow, bully, (unnecessarily) complicated, annoying, bugs
Apple products: Designed, works, easy to use, fun, powerful
See where I'm going with this? Maybe Jobs brainwashed me too, but Apple does have a huge upper-hand in the marketing department. Even if microsoft make (/licence) a product that completely pwns the iPhone, with that starting point very few people with still buy it.

Their marketing on RROD 360 is working well considering that even with a 50% failure rate, higher total cost of ownership than PS3, people are still buying it.
Yep the turtle is the motorola karma, and be nice to it, cause thats my phone. I got it about a month ago. Its very simple, but it handles texting well. My parents and I skipped the iPhone because I live on campus and we have fast wi-fi EVERYWHERE so it did not make sense to get a iPhone and the AT&T data plan. I just use my iPod touch 2g or my laptop to get online.
The karma is not a bad phone for texting and calling, but it does not do much else. The one thing I do like about it is that the OS is responsive, unlike a bunch of the other phones I looked at it always responds when you press the buttons on it. Wonder if Microsoft will break that.

hahahaha brilliant, man they really haven't got a clue eh,
I've been trying to get used to Windows 7 on my studio PC and what a pile of ***** that is, man it's not even a poor OSX rip off, talk about illogical just listing in a finder is weird, clicking on list by date modified means nothing you have to go to another hidden menu to get it to work.
Perhaps Longhorn would have retained its name, had it not been scrapped three quarters of the way through in 2003. It would eventually have been named BlackComb, which was to be Longhorn's successor, (also based on the Windows XP source code) before the entire project was canned, and renamed Vista. Turtle might as well keep its name - its cute, in a lumpy sort of way, may be a little slow, and has a curvy shell.
