According to an unnamed source cited by Reuters, Verizon Wireless plans to sell two new devices from Microsoft that are not Windows Phone 7 handsets. Reuters' source says that the two new phones are being developed under the code name "Pink" and they will be aimed at heavy users of social networks. More details about the devices weren't disclosed. Microsoft bought SideKick maker Danger several years ago. Danger's SideKick devices have always been targeted at those who take advantage of messaging and social networking services.

Sigh, ya know...

for a company like vzw...who's all big and bad and "leading" the wireless industry. Over the years I have noticed they have to bite a lot of their ideas from the smaller guys. How many real and "good" ideas have they come up with without having it trace back to someone else. I mean seriously...T-Mobile Sidekicks? really? 🤣

You don't think Microsoft or Apple or Google come up with their own ideas, do you? Just steal from or buy out little guys.
