According to a company spokesperson AT&T will be the Premier mobile operator partner for Windows Phone 7 in the US. This shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone given the recent leaks about the Windows Phone 7 retail material hitting AT&T’stores and the rumor that the mobile operator has already placed an order for 8 Million WP7 handsets. One thing to keep in mind is that AT&T won’t be the exclusive carrier, Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile will also have Windows Phone 7 devices (as seen in the leaked T-Mobile roadmap). AT&T will probably have more models and have a bigger / more expensive marketing campaign.
