If you look at Verizon’s statement, it said “probably”, which was nowhere near firm.

That was before the current Verizon statements about Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7 not on Verizon’s mind.

Despite the hype, I believe Windows Phone 7 is in serious trouble. Probably only 3 handsets on one US wireless carrier. That’s not good.

Plus, the first Windows Phone7 handsets on the market will be missing functionality, with Copy/Paste being at the top of a long list of missing features.

I think it is best to hold back and wait until next year to see if those shortcomings are fixed or not.
