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?

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.

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.
