AT&T on the other had was easy to get as they are desperate to fill in their line up...hence you saw them take like 3-4 WP7 devices and announcing a bunch of Android phones..

There is 0 advantage for Verizon to push WP7 at this point...carry it yes, push unlikely..they even carry WebOs phones if you think about it but they are not pushing it since they don't really need to...

i see where your going with this and i agree .. but this isn't at&t here bud .. and for vzw to say no man we don't want any part of nokia or wp7 that made no sense long run for them maybe i guess time will tell but it's kinda odd they said no to it but then in the same token they say YAY we are getting a wp7 device just not nokia and that they don't see what the point is to carry another phone developer where does it stop u can have people lined up around the corner and back waiting and wanting a wp7 device of any kind that works for a certain person or persons who to say htc is the phone for that one person or persons .. and to openly say no we don't think so how is that a reflection on what people want as to guessing what they want .. and back to the bloatware is bing being and vzw navi being considered as bloatware??
