They gained literally no marketshare last year so you cant be mad at a carrier for not wanting to take a risk and invest in a phone that's not gonna sell. That's just business...the same way Tmobile was the only one that really took a risk with Android. The difference is, WP7 won't blow up like Android did because of it's past OS reputation. People acted like I was trolling on here but I said this is how it was gonna go from the start.

WP7 is widely expected to be the solid "third choice" and first choice for business users, cannibalizing RIM's market share, in the next 12-18 months.
The marketing and cash payouts to sales people are just starting to happen this spring. Check back in the fall and see how your prediction looks then.
Sprint sucks all around handset-wise, anyway... they didn't believe in the iPhone, either. They nailed that one.
