Verizon “excited” about Windows Phone 7; will offer devices as soon as Microsoft has them
Verizon didn't seem particularly bothered, back in October, to be left out of the Windows Phone 7 launch fun; CEO Lowell McAdam said Microsoft was no longer a major player in the smartphone OS market, and that the company was "not at the forefront of our mind." Now, while analysts can't agree on how many Windows Phone 7 devices were actually sold in the US, it seems the halo effect of the new platform has rubbed off on Verizon; the carrier is now apparently "excited" to offer the devices as soon as they can get them.

HTC 7 Pro for Sprint Preorder Date Begins December 8th, According to Rumor
At the launch of Windows Phone 7, when Microsoft took time out of their busy schedule to show off plenty of new handsets, and let carriers around the world announce when they'd be getting in on the Windows Phone goodness, it also became brutally clear that there wouldn't be a single CDMA-based Windows Phone 7 handset made available right away. But, that didn't stop HTC from showing off that they have a CDMA variant out there, and it's slated to land on the Sprint network early in 2011. According to MS_nerd via Twitter, it looks like preorders for the device will kick off in the first part of December.

Sprint CEO thanks iPad for hotspot sales; coy on Apple relationship
Neither Sprint 3G or 4G is inside the iPad, and - unlike AT&T and Verizon - the carrier doesn't even sell the Apple tablet in its stores, but that doesn't stop CEO Dan Hesse from being mighty thankful to the slate all the same. According to Hesse, brisk sales of the carrier's 3G/4G Overdrive mobile hotspot are for the large part down to WiFi-only iPad users wanting to get online via Sprint's CDMA/WiMAX network. However, he declined to talk to GigaOm about the iPhone and potential relationships with Apple.

Sprint pledge MeeGo support
A common criticism for Nokia in the US is that the company fails to collaborate sufficiently with the carriers, thus seeing its handsets marginalized in favor of rival phones. It seems Intel and Nokia aren't willing to let that be the fate of MeeGo, however; they've thrown in with Sprint at the carrier's annual developer conference, where the operator confirmed it would be looking to leverage the open-source OS "across an array of devices."

Sprint Q3 2010 finances out: subscribers up but still $911m net loss
Sprint is the latest US carrier to report its Q3 2010 financial results, and while they still lag behind Verizon and AT&T in terms of sheer numbers, it's a solid quarter for the CDMA network. That's solid in terms of previous years, of course; Sprint still managed a net loss of $911m on net operating revenues of almost $8.2 billion, but at least they added 644,000 subscribers (the biggest number since 2006).
