Cellular South is gearing up to launch the HTC 7 Pro starting tomorrow, June 13th

Now that Verizon finally entered the mix by offering a Windows Phone 7 smartphone, it should more than likely boost sales of WP7 handsets in general. However, we’re now hearing that a newcomer is entering the fray by offering their very first WP7 smartphone starting tomorrow, June 13th.

Regional carrier Cellular South will be undertaking a huge start with Microsoft’s new platform, as customers anticipate the arrival of the HTC 7 Pro. The last time we heard about it, the handset was positioned to arrive sometime in late April, but it never came to fruition. However, it’s looking pretty clear at this point that we’ll see the CDMA regional carrier launching it tomorrow. Needless to say, it’s going to be a win for Microsoft as a whole – since their platform is increasingly being adopted by other carriers.

No word on its pricing, but we’d expect it to follow accordingly to other high-end devices. Moreover, it’s not known if Cellular South will retain its HTC 7 Pro name, or rather, change things up like Sprint’s version in the HTC Arrive.
