I'm sure it is. The Touch Pro 2 got announced at some sort of mobile conference last spring, so I'm sure there will be one this year too.
WM7 will probably be a heavy hitter then too, with its release scheduled for late this year and all.
I'm not too concerned about the HD2. I knew there was no way Sprint was announcing it. I'm totally shocked that sprint didn't announce ANYTHING though. I thought for sure they would at least announce a WM6.5 upgrade for the Touch Pro 2. But all of that aside, I knew there was virtually no chance Sprint was getting the HD2.
Oh well. I was never planning on getting the HD2 anyway. Now if that sucker had a keyboard and tilting screen, I'd be trying to preorder it the second they would let me. But a virtual keyboard won't do it for me.
Still, wow. Sprint hypes up this event, schedules it right after Ballmer's, watches while the entire tech blogosphere speculates about the joint Sprint/Microsoft press event, and then BAM- Ballmer announes a T-Mobile exclusive (that many Sprint customers were hoping for- it's the hottest topic on Sprint's own message boards) at said event and Sprint just brings a tv chef. Unfreakingbelievable. Has there ever been more incompetent leadership at any company than Sprint consistently displays?
Maybe T-Mobile really is about to buy sprint and that is why Sprint went all out to market getting bent over by them? Sprint's actions here just don't make any sense at all...
