A little while ago we’ve shown you the first pictures of Microsoft’s first mobile phones, the Turtle and the Pure. In case you don’t remember them we will not hold it against you! They are supposed to be entry to mid-level phones meant to act as affordable texting machines made for people that are use to sending a lot of SMS messages, emails or Twitter updates.

But we haven’t forgotten them and neither did Microsoft. In fact the company decided to deny their existence. Again Redmond is telling everyone that Microsoft is not making any phones of its own. This time, the official voice is Robbie Bach:

We’re not going to discuss the rumors, or discuss any of the things you might see or might read.

So what will you discuss Microsoft? Would you be willing to discuss Project Pink? What will you say after you do launch the first Microsoft phones?

AT&T has decided to come clean and officially launch the HTC Tilt 2 and the HTC Pure. The first Windows Mobile 6.5 phones available from AT&T will sell for $299 and $149.99 as long as you get a new two-year contract. As you already know, the HTC Pure has been available in AT&T stores since yesterday while the Tilt 2 will only arrive in the following weeks. Don’t hurry to grab the Pure yet! Remember that tomorrow Windows Mobile 6.5 will be officially unveiled and we’re going to see around 30 phones capable to run Microsoft’s new OS soon.

What do you know folks, it looks like AT&T has quietly decided to start selling the Pure with a couple of days to go before Windows Mobile 6.5 goes official. In case you forgot the Pure is HTC’s Touch Diamond2, one of the first phones announced to run Microsoft’s latest mobile OS. Notice the date on the phone in the picture here and feel free to run to your closest AT&T store to get it. Of course, you could always reconsider and wait for a different Windows Mobile 6.5 to arrive. I hear there are 30 phones ready to run the OS by the end of the year?

Is it just me or has Microsoft started to look better and better all of a sudden? Let’s forget for a second about the countless times we hated and cursed various Windows versions and think about some products made by Redmond that we really like. Obviously there’s the Xbox 360 and its upcoming upgrade called Project Natal, there’s the Zune HD and the recently unveiled Courier tablet concept and the list will not stop there. Apparently the Project Pink we’ve talked about yesterday is being developed at full throttle. This Microsoft initiative that will bring the first Microsoft phones to the public has produced two phones so far, which could become quite popular in various markets.

We already knew about the pricing part and the fact that the HTC Pure is actually the Touch Diamond2 in AT&T garbs, but we lacked live pictures of the device.  HTCpedia now confirms the price as $149.99 (with a new contract and a $50 mail-in rebate) with a contract-free price of $349.99, and have a couple of pictures showing the Pure wrapped in snap-on and silicone cases.  The cases obscure most of its body but it is not that difficult to see a few tweaks in the design, like the rounded appearance of the upper and lower bezel, compared to Touch Diamond2’s straight-lined style. We still don’t have a release date for the HTC Pure, but keep coming back if you want to know.

Remember Microsoft’s Pink project? Well it looks like the folks at Redmond are working hard on future Microsoft phones. Although Steve Ballmer did say a number of times that Microsoft will not launch its own phone line, it looks like those were just words said in order to keep everyone else that’s making Windows Mobile phones happy.

Nothing is confirmed just yet but it looks like a couple of Pink phones have been leaked, the Turtle and the Pure. The phones should be presented in a few months at CES 2010 but Microsoft will not launch them until later when Windows Mobile 7 will be ready to dazzle the masses.

And I hope you’re sitting down for this one, as there’s one more rumor that seems a lot hotter. It looks like Microsoft is preparing a response to Apple’s first tablet. Microsoft will create its own tablet. Will the gadget be revealed at CES 2010? Will we see Microsoft launch it before Apple does? Nothing’s certain so far but the future Microsoft tablet will be based on Microsoft’s Surface technology.

AT&T has a few surprises for its subscribers. It looks like the company plans to launch brand new HTC and Garmin-Asus phones soon so we should definitely check them out.

AT&T will launch the HTC Touch Pro2 as the Tilt2 and the Touch Diamond2 as the Pure. The Tilt2 will cost $299.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate and with a 2-year contract while the Pure will cost $199 under the same circumstances. In case you’re not planning a new AT&T agreement then you can purchase the phones for the full price of $499.99 and $399.99, respectively.

The Garmin-Asus phone coming from AT&T is none other than the nuvifone G60. Believe it or not the phone is going to be sold soon for $299.99 after a $100 mail-in rebate and with a 2-year contract or for $549.99.

We don’t have any release dates just yet, which means you have plenty of time to think about your next AT&T phone.

Remember that Sprint leaked document we showed you yesterday? Well it looks like someone from AT&T decided to match Sprint’s leaking process and has therefore revealed some interesting handsets which are in the pre-launch phase. Among those we couldn’t help but notice the BlackBerry 9700, the HTC Tilt 2 and the Tilt 2 without a camera, that elusive Garmin Nuvifone G60, the HTC Pure aka Snap and plenty of others. Samsung phones, Pantech and Nokia phones are also coming soon, so if you’re rooting for AT&T then sit nicely and wait. Some amazing phones are heading your way.

If what you needed was a new expensive phone, then we have just the thing for you. Vertu has launched the new Constellation Pure series. The phone won’t surprise you with its specs but it will make an impression on all your other rich friends that don’t have one. It’s made from steel, leather and ceramics and it will be available in white, black and silver. Vertu will only make 2,500 of each so you should make sure you are one of the first 7,500 people to order if you really want a Constellation Pure device.

A leaked company memo tells us that a new Xbox 360 is going to appear. It’s the Xbox-Pure. It could also be just a name change for one of the existing models but who knows really?

We can’t tell if this is an actual real Microsoft memo but a videogame called Pure is coming for Xbox 360 on September 26. Pure was chosen from three name suggestions. The other two are Granite and Lean. So are we looking at a whole new design change?
