MicroSoft's answer to Apple iPhone — Zune Phone
And the most interesting part of the story is that this device may be available in May, a month before the iPhone.
If this all fits together, it looks like MS is working on a mobile WiMax-enabled Zune Phone, which would have download speeds of up to 2Mbps, fast enough for the Xbox-to-Zune streaming weve heard about, and fast enough for just about anything else the Zune Phone might be used for.
The first real news is that we can expect to hear an announcement from Redmond about it before March 17, St. Patricks Day, at which time we should learn the name of the device. At the same time, we should also learn other launch specifics, and heres where it gets incredibly juicy; our source says that, pending FCC approval, the specter-like Zune Phone will hit the streets sometime in May, a full month before the iPhone.

Do you know anything about the pricing differences between the iPhone and Zune Phone?

I think the second version of the Zune is a lot better than the current version of the iPod. I think MS eventually could make a product better than the iPhone. Definitely plausible.

Hmmmm.
Was this phone ever released?
It looks pretty sick from some of the pictures I’ve seen, but it’s been over a year, and I haven’t heard anything about it.
Know if they cancelled the release or did something else happen?

Nope, this phone hasn’t been released yet.
I don’t think it’s going to be that hot.
Apple > Microsoft in these markets.

Microsoft is trying to implement too many things and they are always one step behind the original creator such as with MSN.com and Google.com. Google owns MSN. Microsoft should just give up in these fields and just stick to what they are good at, softwares.
