T-Mobile to Sell Microsoft Windows Phone 7
The Wall Street Journal reported T-Mobile USA will join AT&T Inc. in selling Windows Phone 7. The main phone that is presumed to be sold is the HTC HD7 as shown here. T-Mobile told WSJ “T-Mobile has indicated support for Windows Phone 7 and will announce details of our Window Phone 7 offering on Oct. 11.” Microsoft sent out invitations to its unveiling next Monday, an event that features CEO Ballmer, as well as Ralph de la Vega, head of AT&T’s consumer and mobility businesses. T-Mobile USA is scheduled to be at a smaller afternoon meeting at the event. T-Mobile and HTC are holding their own separate event later that day. Also rumors are out that Windows Phone 7 will be on Verizon Wireless and Sprint Nextel Corp sometime next year.
A big question on everyone mind is will the 5.5% of smartphones having Microsoft’s OS increase or decrease with Windows Phone 7 and how it will hold up to the Android OS.
