I think it'll be sprint with the pro 7.

I agree, and I think Sprint will have the second handset(Samsung i pray) before Verizon has a second one. LTE phones are going to be their immediate propaganda it seems to me

I don't think you'll see Verizon putting a whole lot of effort into Windows Phone 7. They're selling droid enabled phones by the boatload but I would bet that Verizon is counting on a CDMA iphone to blow their sales through the roof. So far MS's advertising hasn't converted into a ton of Windows Phone 7 sales, they are sitting right now at about 5 percent of sales but if VZW gets an iphone in middle to late January or early February they will sell them by the hundreds of thousands and probably a few million of them.

Since Sprint and Tmobile will be left without an iphone we'll have to wait and see what phones they push. So far, both seem to be pushing android. Sprint with the EVO and with new droid phones that we'll be seeing in quarter 1 of 2011 and tmo with their own line up and pushing their new 4G rollout.

I know iphone haters will not like the above but cellular companies respond to what sells in the biggest numbers, and, like the iphone or Apple or hate them, the iphone sells, and that's the bottom line.
