Details on Microsoft's Pink (http://www.engadget.com/tag/microsoft,pink) phones seem to be leaking all over the place (http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/project-pink-qwerty-slider-pure-found-in-the-wild-headed-for/) this week, and we just got a huge piece of the puzzle: an extremely reliable source just told us the two Sharp-made devices (http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/13/microsofts-pb10zu-aka-turtle-and-pb20zu-project-pink-phones/) will launch exclusively on Verizon, with a possible street date of April 20th.

(Sort of explains that 4/20 launch date, right?)

New pic of the Turtle after the break.Continue reading Leak: Microsoft Pink phones coming to Verizon, on shelves April 20th?
