i dont see them waiting until june its almost how verizon did with the touch pro 2 they waited a couple days after sprint released theres and then released it. im contemplating leaving verizon for sprint myself if they dont speed up this process with wp7. my touch pro 2 is cracked and not holding much of a charge

Verizon Windows Phone 7 support pages show up

While we have known for some months Verizon is planning to release a Windows Phone 7 handset, the giant US carrier has so far not made any official announcement. Leaks have been turning up however at increasing frequency, and the latest, noticed by Winrumors.com, is a variety of support documentation for Windows phone 7 showing up on the Verizon’s website, at the is stage mainly linking to Microsoft’s docs.
If the rumours we have been reading are true, we can expect the Verizon HTC 7 Trophy to show up in the next few weeks.

@deadwrong... actually I'm the one that sent the tip to winrumors... I've been watching the VZW support site for such things for a while.. I dont know if there is a correlation between the support docs and the actual release.. VZW is notorious for testing devices for LONG periods of time with its large customers.. before actually having a public release.. So.. IMO june could be the real date.

FWIW the docs showed up on Tuesday.. I have more confidence in WPCentral's source.. since winrumors source said they would announce the device on Monday 28th and well.. nothing..

I really do want to believe Winrumors.com. In their latest posting (yesterday, as posted above)

Verizon Windows Phone support articles go live as release draws closer | WinRumors

They still stand by an around March 20th (same time as the Sprint Arrive/Pro7) time frame.

WinRumors understands Verizon’s offering will arrive in late March around the same time as Sprint.

There is a lot of info about WP7 coming to Verizon out there, as we know, the posts, images, final rom and support docs but, if you talk to any Verizon person, most of them seem like they have never heard of Windows Phone 7 or the HTC Trophy. See my post from yesterday here when I called a bunch of stores to see what I can find out.

PPCGeeks.com » UPDATE: Verizon Wireless doesn’t need Windows Phone 7

Now as the dates go, If we go by Winroumors, it will be here in a few weeks, if we go by everyone else, it will be later, closer to June.

Just like a month ago, no one has a clue and no one is telling shit... All we really know is Verizon will get the Trophy and we might see it soon, nothing else, exactly what they want us to know....

What a pain in the a$$....

Second to last paragraph.. Paul states he can now reveal that VZW will announce its first WP7 device this month... Not sure if VZW would announce in March and release in June... seems like maybe release is closer to march than June to me.. dunno

For people who didn't want to read the whole thing... Just the part waycoolkennel was talking about. I just have not had a chance to check the 15+ sites I check every day yet....

So, it could come this moth or at least be annouced. I guess we still stand where we are, Sometime soon and nothing else.

Come on Verizon, Give us something ASAP

Edit again:

I renamed the thread "Verizon Wireless Windows Phone 7 status updates ! " I think it's more fitting. I'll just keep posting updates on this thread till there is an annoucement or release.

I think the rename was fitting, no ?

Verizon wireless thread on Windows Phone 7 on their fourms...

Windows 7 Phones - Verizon Wireless Community

Check out my user name's location on there

If your on Verizon, register and complain, it might not do much but, I am sure someone at Verizon reads it...

People, keep calling and posting about it to Verizon, Reps at Verizon have to make a note on phone requests (just like how they know the demand was so high for the iPhoney).

Dial *611 on your cell and talk to a customer service rep and ask for a release date on the "HTC Trophy with Windows Phone 7" maybe it will help a little.

Heh, check out the thread there...
