Software giant Microsoft is going to release its "Project Pink" phones early next week.
The mobile phones are to be flogged in the US by mobile operator Verizon Wireless. They are being targeted at heavy users of social networking sites and so will probably aimed at the young who like that sort of thing.
They looked to us like an updated Sidekick device and are to be made by Sidekick manufacturer Sharp.
However, don't expect them to be called anything to do with pink. That is pretty still much a colour for girls, sources inside Redmond have been leaking. Of course they could have marketed alongside Pink Floyd which is not girlie, however the yoof targeted in Project Pink are too young to be able to spot a Dark Side of the Moon reference so it is fairly pointless keeping it.
Actually the leaks have been taking place ever since Microsoft sent invitations to media to attend an event in San Francisco next Monday.
Actually Project Pink is not high on Microsoft's mobile agenda. It is still mostly focused on Windows Phone 7 as it hopes to claw back some of the market share it is losing in the smartphone market.
We (Microsoft) expect to sell loads of them to Brits. Especially in the government and media.
I don't see how disparaging Russian freedom fighters makes you a monarchist, per se...

You are obviously an oligarchic bullʹshitistskiĭ
Ain't been the same since Владимир Ильич Ленин and then Иосиф Виссарионович Сталин were running the show. First it was that totally forgettable Гео́ргий Максимилиа́нович Маленко́в, then the whining shoe-pounder Никита Сергеевич Хрущёв, then that group of senile old perverts, Леони́д Ильи́ч Бре́жнев, Алексе́й Никола́евич Косы́гин, and Анаста́с Ива́нович Микоя́н . Then Леони́д Ильи́ч Бре́жнев by himself, although being led by one senile old pervert really isn't better than being led by three of 'em. Ю́рий Влади́мирович Андро́пов and Константин Устинович Черненко were the next two, although neither lasted long enough to change their underwear. Finally Михаил Сергеевич Горбачёв, who, as the only one who actually opened his eyes and saw what had happened, decided that Marxo-Lenino-Stalino-Bolshevism was a total crock of bearshit and decided to move to Jamaica and become a beachcomber.
Russian freedom fighters? That's a laugh. Obviously, Comrade, you must have been educated in Soviet Russia to have such quaint, antediluvian, congenitally wrong ideas.
