The Pink is supposedly a Verizon-destined iPhone competitor - a touchscreen, WinMo 7 multimedia phone that will aim to extend the Windows Mobile OS while #8220;adding new software capabilities#8221; - presumably Zune-link in nature. /p
pSo what will a Pink phone look like? Here are the specs:/p
ul
strongCore requirements:/strong/p
liProcessor: ARM v6+, L2 Cache, VFP, Open GL ES 2.0 graphics HW (QCOM 8k, Nvidia AP15/16* and TI 3430 all meet spec)/li

liSD Card (Micro SD recommended)/li
liDPAD, qwerty or 12/20 key keyboards all optional/li

pThese make for a nice phone, especially since they are the _minimum_ specs. I especially like the OpenGL graphics - I assume this is in an effort to give users a snappier user experience, something I still find with even the hottest devices on 6.1./p
pI remember when the rule of thumb for MS OSes was #8216;whatever Microsoft says the minimum specs are#8230; double it.#8217; Do you think we could end up with a line of low-end and utterly disappointing WinMo 7 devices or will this cut the mustard?/p
