Old news...
And, Verizon and the other service providers will be supporting WM7, and via whatever smartphones do support WM7.
And, hey, did you forget the Nokia agreement to carry WM7 on it’s smartphones? That’s the largest cell-phone maker in the world.
So, it appears that you are wrong again, on all counts, especially when it comes to Verizon, which is still supporting WM7 and will have no choice but to continue doing so. One executive does not speak for the whole company.
I do want a strong third OS out there. It gives the carriers more flexibility and balances the interests of all the parties. But I still have doubts whether Microsoft will get the traction they are hoping for with Windows Phone 7.
I don't think Verizon needs the Nokia and Microsoft relationship. Right now the three OS players we see for our network are Android, Apple, and RIM
So, let's re-cap. The Chief Technology Officer of Verizon, Christy Wyatt, Corp. VP of Software and Services Product Management for Motorola and I have all pronounced Win7 Mobile DOA.
And YOU say I've got it wrong again? I like my hand, I'm not discarding any cards. Do you need another 5?
I never said that Verizon wouldn't carry any Win7 phones. You carry the turds so your good phones look even better. Win7 is going to be the reference turd that all are compared against. As for the "One executive .....". I didn't know that Verizon was a Democracy.
