Microsoft is aiming to launch two smartphones for Verizon in May or June, targeting teenagers who use social network sites.
The Redmond, Wash.-based company said the new phones, developed under the code name "Project Pink," are designed with keyboards for sending texting with a focus on social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter.But most likely, they will run Windows Mobile 6.5 instead of its new mobile platform. These new "Pink" phones are developed entirely by Microsoft, which like Google and its new Nexus One device, challenges the delicate relationship with wireless operators and handset makers as it attempts to release its own devices. The software giant, which competes in the wireless industry by selling its Windows Mobile software to handset vendors, is hoping to regain lost market share from rivals Apple's iPhone, newcomer Google's Android devices and others. Microsoft said the devices will be made by Sharp, which also makes its Sidekick phones, and carry both Microsoft and Verizon brands.
