MS Peabody smartphone

mîcrosoft is set to work with Flextronics Corp, one of the largest mobile phone manufacturers, to create a cheap mobile that will carry mîcrosoft's Windows Mobile Smartphone platform. The mass market device is currently being called the Peabody, which it must be said  isn't quite in Motorola's "Royal Blade" class when it comes to code-naming a product. mîcrosoft is evidentally hoping that a handset suitable for mass roll-out will help it to conquer the smartphone OS market currently dominated by Symbian-based handsets from the likes of Sony Ericsson and Nokia.
