Software giant Microsoft Corp is planning to unveil a new line of mobile phones early next

week, with social-networking capabilities, says a media report.

Attributing to people familiar with the plan, The Wall Street Journal reported Microsoft plans to introduce a new line of mobile phones next Monday.

The new devices, based on a Microsoft development project code-named 'Pink' would be sold by top mobile operator Verizon Wireless from later this month in the US, the report said.

Microsoft designed the software, online services and hardware for the Pink mobile phones, while Japan’s Sharp Corp is manufacturing the devices.
