    Lindsay, Moto did not invent the horizontal slider. I may be willing to concede the point on the Turtle but here's a big bag of bullshit for saying that Microsoft is copying the CLIQ. That claim holds as much merit as the claim that every touchscreen phone is an iPhone knockoff.

    Strike that.

    It's even more ridiculous than claiming that every touchscreen phone is an iPhone knockoff.

    Errrr...the top phone's hardware looks like the Motorola QA1. Not a compliment.

    @LindsayJoy's MBP is into S+M:

    Guess what?

    Everyone go look at the Moto Cliq and the Moto QA1.

    These ARE the cliq and the QA1 just slightly changed for MS to test since MOTO works with their software and I would assume the could get WiMo to work on them.

    I am not sure that this is fact, BUT it would be a very smart move of MS's side to use generic phones that are similar to the Sharp final products as test types. Because if anything gets released it looks nothing like the actual product and its kept secret. Slick MS, slick.

    Of course difference being the ridiculous keypad. Swap the keyboards on the little turd slivers and the bezel portion of the smaller one and you're done.

    @Kaiser-Machead: Don't mean to be rude, but Microsoft is either A: A brilliant company for using Motorola hardware to run their software, B: these are fakes and we've been had. Are we sure that Sharp is really manufacturing these? Here's an example of the keypad that Moto used on their Sidekick.

    I'd lean towards fake, mainly because the keypads look grossly slapped on, and there's no functions for navigation, at least not comfortably. Are users expected to use the touch screen while the keypad is extended? The smaller one has no buttons for anything if you don't want to extend the pad.

    Most of these leaks of test types are blurry or semi-blurry pics taken in some dingy testing room. They're not eleganty photographed with their interfaces photoshopped into their screens.

    P.S. I hope Giz didn't pay too much for this exclusive.

    P.P.S. What's with the "Pretty Boy" author? 'Fraid to get lambasted if they turn out to be fake? A little internet crucifixion is nothing to worry about.

    Looks great for a few years ago.

    I always thought the Sidekick was totally underrated when it was out - my Tytn did more stuffs, but wasn't NEARLY as smoothly executed.

    But every single human being owns an iphone now, so I don't understand why companies are making other products?

    Its a good place to evolve.

    Apple kinda missed the boat when they tried it. Google is doing a bit better with the cloud and android. Danger has always done it well and seeing them "grow up" is an interesting proposition.

    It looks like I'm going against the trend here but the pure is one hot little handset imo. I'm looking forward to it. Maybe I'll actually be at a spot in my contract where it won't cost an arm and a leg.

    I'll agree that the turtle is ugly though.

    These phones suck. I was apart of a focus group where I was able to feel out the phone and how it worked(though neither was turned on). The build quality was whore-ible but the concept behind the software was nice, it seemed to be like the HTC Hero. To my recollection, the Turtle felt like the better build compared to the Pink.

    @swimatm: Because I was part of the same focus panel. Just because you didn't get invited doesn't mean you need to be a dick.

    Companies do invite people for focus group screenings...

    I agree with him, shitty build, interesting UI with no traces of Windows Mobile but still very raw.

    @resource: Sometimes the build of prototypes is nowhere near the final product. I was on a focus group for the Nintendo DS before it came out and it was a POS. Instead of bumpers, it had itty bitty round buttons on the corners. There were a myriad of problems associated with the screen and stylus and we, as a whole, just thought it was a mediocre device. Then it came out and actually had pretty good build quality and seemed to be rid of most of the problems we found with it. I'm not saying the ugly Pink will be the same way, but you can't ever tell how a device will turn out till it's out.

    The Turtle just looks for the lulz. really bad.

    The Pure actually looks pretty decent, although an awful lot like the Cliq, which fits into MSs "day late doller short" hardware standard (see also bringing out the original Zune a week after Apple announced the iPod Touch)

    Gotta agree with a lot of the crowd, why the $&%* wouldn't you make the Zune HD, possibly the sexiest industrial design to ever come out of Redmond, into a phone???
