Windows mobile phones look better...

Not too good looking.

I doubt this ahs any validity.  They are most likely not going to be getting involved with procuding phone hardware.  They are, however, going to dictate a set of specs that any phone who wishes to use WM7 must adhere to.  They are going to be selling their software to them.  Zune software will most likely be applicable to this as well.

These have to be concepts, i doubt these will get released.

I don't see how these could compete with all the ''real'' phones that run Windos Mobile. They shouldn't start making hardware because obviously the MS Phone isn't going to defeat Apple's Iphone. So just improve Windows Mobile to the point where it's functionalities, compatibility with all WinMo phones, compatiblity with the PC and combined Sony/Nokia/Samsung/etc marketplace has more applications then that of Apple. Unity is the only way to bring Apple to it's knees, making another cheap hpone will only further devide the market giving Apple the only phone that is garanteed of future support.

I'm hoping that these are concept designs, and not final release ones. I don't mind the slider, and buttons, but the casing and color looks bland, boring, and "plasticy".

MS and google do not make phones.

Google phone is made by HTC and MS phone is...BS thus far judging by those pics.
