Microsoft Pure, Turtle Mobile Phones Get Detailed

Microsoft's Project Pink Phone Specs Revealed

The Microsoft Pure and Turtle mobile phones have been given more concrete details after a review of their recently leaked firmware.  The Microsoft Pure and Turtle phones will not run Windows Phone 7, but a lighter version based on Windows 6 CE.

The Microsoft Pure and Turtle phones reflect Microsoft’s commitment to continue developing low-end mobile devices to round out their high-end offerings with Windows Phone 7.  These more basic mobile devices will run a version of Windows 6 CE, and be powered by an NVIDIA Tegra chip that will provide a bit of punch regardless of their budget-level nature.  The larger of the two, the Microsoft Pure, features a slide-format QWERTY keypad and a 480×320 touchscreen display.  The Microsoft Turtle phone is basically a more compact version of the Pure, featuring a smaller 320×240 display.  Both devices will be manufactured by Sharp but branded by Microsoft themselves.

More news is on the way about Microsoft’s Pure and Turtle mobile devices.  While Monday’s MWC 2010 news focused on the release of Microsoft’s new Windows Phone 7 OS, expect more news about hardware devices running this and other operating systems in the days ahead.
