So, what CDMA carrier will be first ???? (WP7)

Sometime in March ?

A quote from Engadget

Though he wouldn't give an exact date, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer whittled down the availability window for the company's first big update to Windows Phone 7 at his keynote address to the crowds gathered at Mobile World Congress today. The latest message is that it'll be available in "early March," which puts us precious few weeks away -- more or less on track with what we'd been anticipating -- bringing support for CDMA radios, copy and paste, and performance improvements. Hopefully that clears the way for the 7 Pro on Sprint, eh?

Eh, don't believe anything till I see an offical press release..

Edit: More updates but, with a "soon" more than a date...

And a quote from the section of interest here...

In addition, the phone will be available soon on U.S. networks such as Verizon and Sprint, he said. Also, with an expanded feature set, more capabilities, and new partnerships like the one just announced with Nokia, the Windows Phone 7 platform is positioned to scale up rapidly.

I did not see a quote in any other site about CDMA...

Take this all with a grain of salt...

I agree that their lack of CDMA info pushes me further down the iPhone 5 path. I actually like WP7 but if I can't get a good piece of hardware (i.e. NOT the WP7 pro) or on a carrier I can rely on (i.e. NOT ATT or Tmobile), my choice is pretty clear - Android or iPhone.

Their deal with Nokia isn't going to help me this year as both companies are too slow moving and I think in math terms that means you multiply their slowness, not add it.

nodo patch coming in March which offers CDMA support probably doesn't mean we'll see any WP7 phones in March on CDMA. And if I'm going to have to wait this long, I might as well wait for the iPhone5.

I don't think Jobs could have made such an impact on the market without the assistance of a doofus like Ballmer to make him look good.

My thread and also the fact that WMC is going on and I am watching those sites like a hawk (6 windows open refreshing every 20 min or so)!

Every site said "Soon" more than March...they also said January(right after the new year) for CDMA too before....

Here we are in Feb and still waiting for even news...

It's going to be a long week, this is day one, it goes till Friday.... As CDMA goes nothing solid yet..I hope something will pop up from one of the OEMs (who show CDMA models)

and when it comes down to it...After the annoucement of Verizon getting the Playstaion Phone, oh, the decisions... My love of Windows Phone/WIndows Moble/PocketPC or my love of video games....

Well, we all kind of knew that Microsoft would not get Playstation support due to MS's competeing Xbox live (unless WP7 was number 1), this is Sony we are talking about.

As long as it supports PSP2/NGP games, this would make my decision very hard. Because I will have a PSP2 on release or shortly after why not have them both in one ?

Lets not get too far off topic anyway...(yea I know it's my fault for starting it)...

Any other news that I missed ?
