Microsoft’s New Zune Phone (First Look Photos)

Earlier this week Microsoft made a filing with the FCC for a device that can be used for "consumer broadband access and networking". This caused a flurry of activity in the blogoshere as people began digging for more information and what can only be a "Zune Phone". It's not really a surprise, since Apple announced their new iPhone, it was only a matter of time before Microsoft announced a similar product.

The funny part of this whole thing, aside from the fact Microsoft's going to make a phone that will most likely need to be patched every other day, is that people will dig endlessly trying to get that "first look" at a new product. Thanks to these guys, we now have the first pictures of the new "Zune Phone". I didn't want to spoil it so the pictures are after the jump, let us know what you think.

First up is CrunchGear's take on the new phone.

Our source says that an iPhone competitor has been in the works for a while, and the idea of branding it as part of the Zune ecosystem, from the brown color through the interface, came as a recent decision as a response to Apple’s iPhone.

Next we have a possible from Apple Gazette. As they say, yes this is a joke.
