In a competition to beat its competitor Google’s Nexus one, Redmond Giant plans to launch a Zune phone in an around 2 months.Reports from Gizmodo, Jefferies analyst Katherine Egbert quotes that

Our recent industry checks indicate Microsoft will be debuting its own phone sometime in the next two months…We expect the new phone to debut soon, at either the Feb 15-18 Mobile World Congress conference in Barcelona Spain, or possibly at CTIA in Las Vegas one month later.

“We don’t have any information about the cost of the Pink phone, nor do we know what service providers might be partnered with Microsoft …Revenue from the phone is also very unlikely to be meaningful for many years,”

“The new phone might explain why Microsoft has allowed WinMo to dwindle to <10% mobile OS market share. Pink would be the ‘third screen’ (after Windows and Xbox) and final component in Microsoft’s ‘3 screens and a cloud’ strategy.”

Egbert believes that the Zune Phone will be getting a new beginning as from a Microsoft/OEM partnership similar to what we’ve seen between Google and HTC with the Nexus One. She also believes the phone will feature a 5MP camera and 720P video support—neither of which are huge stretches of the imagination.Lets hope after Pink Microsoft gets this right and makes a success.
