That document said the 24th for the Trophy and it also said the 17th for the HTC Thunderbolt (Android VZW LTE) and they just released the press statement on the Thunderbolt for the release on the 17th.

That is the only think that is still telling me that it might actually show on the 24th.

Based on this, if it will be released on the 24th, we should hear a press statement next Monday.....17 is a Thursday and so is the 24th, they gave the press statement on Monday, so based on this, next Monday(the 21st) would be the date of a press release.

That is about the only thing right now that is holding me to that date. Sprint is getting theirs a few days before and we we know the Trophy is in testing (like the Thunderbolt was), so, it should be coming any day now and next week seems like a real date.

But, web sites have been wrong before but, everything just points to that.

We'll see next Monday...

Sprint users go away ! This is a thread for Verizon users with Windows phone 7....

I checked Sprint coverage in my area (about 45 min from Hartford,CT), and out of all carriers Sprint is the worst around here. Even T-mobile has better coverage (and that says a lot, as that is very spotty).

i just noticed that the farther east u go that sprint sucks in area like vt ,me,ma,and nh and verizon is doing major business in those parts hell when i got to vt i didn't even know vzw has like home internet services that was an even bigger shocker ..

I have been looking and I'm fine with finding a great deal if coverage is really good. I have checked everyone, AT&T, T-mobile, Sprint, etc.

Coverage in my area (lower eastern CT), goes Verizon then AT&T, 3rd party Verizon companies, 3rd party AT&T, then Sprint. Sprint is so spotty in my area. Verizon is still king in the area.

So, if I was to leave Verizon because they blow off Windows Phone 7 for a long time (and the Trophy is not released this month), I would lean towards AT&T, not just because their Coverage is almost as good as Verizon, is if I was going to leave a CDMA carrer, I would be going to a GSM carrer (GSM always gets newer phones first).

This is quite off topic here tho, so let's get back on topic.

There has been no new news on WP7 on VZW in the last few days...I've been watching...

They have to release soon...now the nodo update has had most of its kinks ironed out...they would look like bigger jerks for not releasing a phone that they had ready to go...just because its windows.
Its obvious that cdma comes second..especially without solid backing-no advertising whatsoever, and I guess with the whole kin debacle(nice hardeware shafted with a full data plan?????wtf);and then back to back release of the verizon iphone (cool when exclusive but not when available for 50 bucks @ wal mart on every carrier) /and the first 4g device on verizon-((badass fast android phone whose os has held the market against iphone exclusivity)- they have to value this phone as their premiere device).........verizon is going to be cannabalising its own WINNING (sorry) by even mentioning another platform especially one whom it seems to have a strained relationship with.
The upside of this is .. Probably means we get the phone for cheap..and dont forget these phones have only been avalable on gsm in us since nov 8th..so to us early adopting microsofties 4 months and 11 days may seen like an eternity..but its not really that long.We will be entering the winpho7 world like 10000 apps richer than everyone else did ..damn ours has copy and paste guys.. took the iphone at least 2updates to get there..
In all seriousness tho microsoft needs to fill the gap in marketing that verizon left when they sold their souls to apple and google..ms is in my mind gravely marketingly challenged when it comes to this...you couldnt sell touchhd's to verizon? or sell zunes to anyone...that zune client software alone trounces itunes in form and function(and dont even mention itunes performance on a pc) and unlimited music streaming...-come on ...pull your freaking socks up and SELL IT.
This is it too..the wp7 finally pulls all the ms ecosystem together...we have all been waiting for this for a long time...now all easily interconnected and interactive. pc,xbox,zune,phone,server,mc,and cloud.
Have faith because in spite of themselves i think microsoft are firing on all cylinders..its a big company and if they have just managed to pull all this stuff together then this is the beginning of my totally connected world...and its all gravy from here.
I am going to wait for a wp7 on vzw even if it doesnt come next week(which it will)
because I dont want any other phone,and verizon can only prolong the inevitable.I forecast the next wp7 on vzw will arrive with fanfare.(rant over)

I feel you guys on the WM7 phone. It seemed like an eternity for Sprint to get it. I have the WM6 HTC Touch, 4yrs now, waiting on this phone. Damn thing needs a hard reset bad, but I figure with just a couple days until my new phone it can wait until retirement.

I have to disagree with you guys on the coverage though, Sprint works fine for me. Wife's from Maryland so I am there a lot (Eastern Shore and Baltimore) and I don't have any problems. Frat Brother in NY, NY and I have no problems their either or during the drive. I am from Cleveland and I stream music when we drive to Maryland and NY and I don't have any problems. Don't know why you guys do, maybe it how you have your phones set up.
