We thought CES 2009 was going to bring us the Zune Phone, but it didn’t. Now that MWC is getting closer, the rumor of a Microsoft Zune Phone launch is upon us again.

MSFT Smart-Phone Launch? Multiple industry sources are telling us that MSFT is planning to launch a smartphone. We are told it will be a 2H launch. We do not see this as landscape changing, much like their Zune launch.

Analyst firm Broadpoint AmTech says the phone will be available in the second half of the year but Microsoft still says that the Zune Phone isn’t coming yet.
