I didn't get the feeling in the Podcast last night that they were going to kill it. It seems they are in it for the long haul. I too am frustrated that I cannot use one on my network and that my options are android or android.
Easily I can wait till June if 2-3 devices show up(not saying it is) but that would allow me choice and not just "here theres your damn 1 WP7(Hesse chucks it at my head), now leave us alone and let us sell android 4G."

I think we've all been waiting for a CDMA wp7 device...but it could be japan with the first CDMA device amazingly
CDMA Windows Phone 7 handset coming to Japan?

Too bad it would not work on Verizon's network....Oh, wait, it's the trophy, never mind, would not pay $500-600 for that phone.

The entry level WP7, only way I would get that phone myself is 1 year contract or Insurance replacement for another phone I broke.

i'd take that bet if u wasn't right about it. sprint ain't in no hurry to release a wp7 phone their more focused on android to care about anything else ...

If you were running a company and one phone alone.. which happened to be an android phone.. single handedly helped you stop churn and actually turn a profit.. wouldnt you put more priority on that too? Or would you put more focus on an OS that isnt selling well and is going to put you right back in the "taking a chance" category? Sprint is a business...

The EVO has been good for sprint - they chose a very good piece of hardware - large screen, slim design. Unfortunately - they are probably going to pick a much lower end piece of hardware for WP7 as their first phone and they'll brilliantly conclude WP7 isn't selling well because of the OS not because Sprint went and selected a half assed model. Sprint execs - can't take much more of their addled brain decisions.

aren't businesses normally founded on taken chances .. hence android took an chance and it's doing pretty good .. not saying android is better cause it ain't for everybody with that said wp7 is taken a chance like so many other's but then again like most have said wp7 is still getting started and only time will tell if it gets better or worse ..
