Without subject, AT&T’s wireless growth these past few years has been mostly based upon iPhone — as well as with apparently good reason, if you look atthe numbers. As far as other platforms go, however, it’s not been as flushed. Android’s relation with a conduit, for e.g., is a story woven with years of perplexity, a little questionable releases, and the rival that’sfully embraced it to notablesuccess (releases similar to the Captivate and Streak indicate the stronger future). So with all that in thoughts, what we’re conference from AT&T in a arise of Windows Phone 7 is decidedly more committal. Here’s what a orator told PERSONAL COMPUTER World this week: “We’ll be the premier carrier for Windows Phone 7″ (emphasis ours). Strong words, but you still haven’t listened concrete skeleton from anyone, together with Microsoft, on what’s starting upon with the recover. Whispers caring of our crony Michael Gartenberg suggest AT&T has “sealed up for 8 million” phones as well as the own eyes have espied some launch materials, but we’ll just have to see. Your move, Ma Bell. Assuage the doubts, k?

P.S. It’s additionally worth observant which, after the Kin disturbance, Microsoft as well as Verizon aren’t just BFF, meaning opposition AT&T’s “premier” explain isn’t likely to be contested by the a single conduit with some-more subscribers.
