It appears that Motorola and Verizon are on my side of the fence.
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.
