We already heard about it but now it is official: Microsoft and Sharp worked together on 2 new Smartphones with a special design.
The first one is the “Turtle”. It has a rounded design and looks like a mini computer. It is quite big and has a sliding and facial keyboard.
The second one is called the “Pure”. It looks like the Nokia N900. It has a sliding keyboard just like the “Turtle” but it is a lateral one.     
No information about their characteristics have been disclosed for the moment.
A rumor says that the two Smartphones could have each a proper app store and that the Zune download service is incorporated in each.
It’s worth keeping an eye on!
