Microsoft Pure & Turtle Will Run Different OSes?

Topic:

By now, everyone with a functioning Internet connection and at least a passing interest in smartphones has heard about Microsoft's leaked Turtle and Pure smartphones. Both of these new mobiles are set to be manufactured by Sharp and packed full of Zune services. Until Gizmodo gets clearance to post some more information about these leaked phones, the details of their hardware and software specifications are up for discussion.

Now, there are two Project Pink smartphones so far and, as you may remember, Microsoft intends to support two different WinMo operating systems. WinMo 6.5 will be geared to compete directly with Android, while 7 will face off against the iPhone OS. Considering Microsoft's grand scheme, it stands to reason that one of these new smartphones will pack 6.5, and the other 7.
