Oops. Those two pics looks similar, eh? And if we're not mistaken, Microsoft's Pink phone is rumored to be made by Sharp (http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/01/microsofts-pink-smartphone-to-be-microsoft-branded/). This wirerame for model PB10ZU just hit the FCC looking every bit the "Turtle (http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/microsofts-pink-phones-revealed/)" device that was leaked last year. Of course, seeing Sharp behind Pink is only natural since it was one of Danger's manufacturers of choice for the Sidekick -- a team wholly ingested by Microsoft (http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/microsoft-buys-danger-windows-mobile-sidekick-imminent/) a few years ago. Looking through the FCC docs we see that it's a slider with dual-band CDMA, EVDO Rev. A, Bluetooth, and WiFi. We also see reference to a second model, the PB20ZU (aka, "pure (http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/21/microsoft-turtle-and-pure-project-pink-phones-and-surface-tablet/)"?), although that model is lacking any detail whatsoever. The tastiest of FCC docs are being withheld by request until March 29th -- right in line with a rumored spring launch (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/microsoft-pink-targeting-teens-and-twenty-somethings-devices-la/). Hopefully Microsoft will have more to say about Project Pink and Windows 7 devices here in Barcelona so stay tuned.
