Microsoft made an agreement with French operator SFR (the second largest in the country) to launch the Messenger Edition 251, A phone with QWERTY keyboard oriented messaging that comes with Windows Live Messenger preinstalled.
Obviously, the 251 Edition Messenger is a mobile designed for the teen segment was manufactured by ZTEBecause the team is almost as ZTE x990.

The phone features a QVGA display, web browser, Bluetooth, music player, FM radio, 2 mpx camera and support for MicroSD cards. The interesting thing is that it runs a proprietary operating system that might have something to do with what we are offering in cellular Microsoft Project Pink (that we also are geared to teens, messaging and social networks).
SFR will sell the 251 Edition Messenger online by about 79 euros with a prepaid plan that costs about 10 euros and includes unlimited text messaging and Messenger unlimited for 10 days (to attach them and buy a data package but I could have given a month’s trial at least, no?). Will be interesting to follow this move to see if Microsoft implements such agreements with other operators in the world.
