"We're super-proud to have been the first operator to launch Windows Mobile back in 2003, and we're thrilled to be the premier partner for the launch of Windows Phone 7 Series in the U.S.," David Christopher, chief marketing officer for AT&T Mobility and Customer Markets, said at MWC.
AT&T is still claiming to be the premier carrier for Windows Phone 7, but it's not offering any insight as to what benefits this status entails. "We haven’t provided any details other than that we’ll be the premier carrier for Windows Phone 7," an AT&T spokesperson said Wednesday in an email.
I am sure Microsoft is thankful to have a partner that considers themselves to be the premier carrier, especially one that already has the iPhone in their stable. After the Kin fiasco, I am left wondering how much Verizon really cares about Windows Phone. They are also having enormous success with Android, so why invest heavily in another platform? I am not saying that Verizon won't be there at launch, but if they weren't, I'd certainly understand.
