Windows Phone 7 to be that special someone on AT&T
Share:
AT&T thrives in monogamous committed relationships – just look at what its love affair with Apple added to the bottom line last quarter. Both sweethearts know, however, that the tingling of excitement is poised to wear off, and the relationship is not without problems. Thus the carrier seems to be hedging its bets in matters of the heart by becoming a loving family for WP7 devices as well, and also adopting some nice Android handsets for that all-important portfolio diversification. Now all we can hope for is that its network equipment doesn't give up the ghost under the data load...

OK, that kills it for me. Since there is NO (ZERO) ATT service inside daughter's school, unless they bring some out with another carrier, it will be 2 years before I'll even be able to consider WP7.

I feel your pain on that except for the fact that im not interested in WP7 because i dont use all of microsofts programs. Basically they are saying at&t to WP7 as verizon is to android. I assume at&t will have tons of WP7 while other carriers get one every couple of months. Its a good thing WP7 has hardware requirements so the other carriers dont get shafted on the best that WP7 has to offer.

What does been a PREMIER carrier for WM7 even means? Arent WM7 phones going to be available under all other carriers as well anyways?

AT&T has a great assortment of phones now, and not just the iphone (thankfully). Let's hope the parts shortage does not affect them too much.

Premiere meant, ONLY ATT will be the only Carrier with Phones using WinMobile7 for next few years. Like what APPLE and ATT contracted. Till than, other carriers just need to wait till Contract Expires.

I would be really disappointed if WP7 only launched on AT&T. No way do I plan on leaving TMo and even if I did, I refuse to go to AT&T or VZW.
