Microsoft promoted for the surface tablets line-up with pictures of poeple working on office with the tablet. In these pictures there is a phone that looks a little different than any model that has appeared before.

This Smartphone could be the Microsoft Surface Phone, a model of which is allegedly being holed up in Studio H at Microsoft's Redmond campus.

The Huawei W1 live pics is leaking, not long after we heard about the smartphone for the first time. The W1 back looks similar to the HTC One X but this device is running Microsoft Windows Phone OS.

The Huawei W1 is not a high-end device. It has a 4-inch WVGA screen, a 1.2GHz dual-core chipset with 512MB RAM, 5MP camera, and merely 4GB of on-board memory. The good thing about the storage however, is that Windows Phone 8 now allows expansion via a microSD card slot. A 2000mAh will power the handset, so there should be plenty of power to keep it going.
