Rumors are running rampant that Microsoft is preparing to launch its own branded smartphone.
The sources each claim the device will be ready for launch in the Q1 2013, which means a Mobile World Congress introduction could be on the horizon.
There are precious other details about the alleged device, except that it will be considered a "premium" phone just like the iPhone, Galaxy S III and the (aging) Galaxy Nexus.
Microsoft could use the Surface name and line for its smartphone if its tablets prove to be popular.
For now, those looking into Windows Phone 8 devices will have to wait for HTC 8x, Lumia 920 or Samsung ATIV coming early next month.
