Much like Amazon is rumoured to be launching its Kindle smartphone in the wake of the Kindle Fire HD tablet release, Microsoft is planning to launch its own Windows 8 phone after the Microsoft Surface tablet unleashing. We’ve heard the rumour of a Microsoft Surface phone before and now more evidence has come to light.

A source of BGR has learned that Microsoft is not only making its own smartphone but is in the final stages with a launch planned in the coming months. This coupled with news from the China Times of a Surface branded smartphone landing in 2013 has us tingling.
