I mentioned lately, Microsoft’s Pink is looking more and more to be not just a bunch of premium consumer-focused services, but the phone associated with those services,

It’s highly likely to be Windows-Mobile-7-based, but diferent from other Microsoft-partner-backed Windows Mobile 7 phones. Windows Mobile 7 phones are slated to launch in the spring of 2010 (at last check),

And how will Microsoft’s partners like competing with a Microsoft-branded phone (if that is the way Microsoft ends up going)? Microsoft oficials repeatedly have said Microsoft isn’t making its own phone. The word was that Microsoft was providing a reference specification and possibly a chassis,

It will be a phone that runs Zune services. The Softies have to walk a fine line on this one so as not to upset the Windows Mobile ecosystem.
