@musicman247 Verizon is a valued partner and we look forward to seeing Windows Phone 7 devices in their stores in 2011. #windowsphone

So, in a nutshell, no one has a clue or just wont say anything...This year or next year... I wonder what one is BS...

thought I had read that a wp7 device might release before xmas for verizon.
Considering the minimum specs, I don't think there is a bad wp7 device, except for maybe the dell venue pro which can't seem to get anything right.

phone specs are amazing, 4" screen, portrait sliding keyboard.
Then it had wifi issues and devs and early adopters were asked to bring them back to switch with a new device.
With the new devices, only about 1 in 10 will read a sim card....
So, poor QC by dell I guess.

Just got off the phone with Verizon making acct changes, and asked about the release date for WP7. CSR said they "should" be coming out right about the time my 2nd line is eligible, which is Dec 23rd. Plus Microsoft employees can already pre-order WP7 thru Verizon, so it's def a possibility that we'll see them pre-Christmas.

Still nothing on their website, wondering if they will just wait till after CES (Jan 6-9 2011) before release ???

It's going to hard for a company to push a big marketing promotion and give only 5-10 days for the sale (X-mas is 10 days away).

Just like everything else, you can never trust a CSR at Verizon, when it comes to rumored devices or things comming, you can talk to 5 different reps and get 5 different stories. About the only people who MIGHT know something (and only a week or 2 before release) is the techs because of training to support but, with them, it's the same story.

Sprint better hurry up, I have 2 accounts to upgrade and I am waiting for them to carry a nice WP7 device.

Not to crash the party.... but I used WM7 at the AT&T store. All I can say is YUCK!

I went to VZ and picked up a Motorola Droid 2 Global (1.2Ghz processor and dedicated video processor) and I haven't looked back. This phone makes my Touch Pro look like the stone ages.
