AT&T Likely to be Exclusive Windows Phone 7 Carrier


A report by the Wall Street Journal reports that AT&T will be the exclusive carrier with Windows Phone 7. According to the article, AT&T will begin selling 3 new devices, the HTC Mondrian, the Samsung Cetus, and the LG Optimus 7, on November 8th. Official names and specifications of these devices are expected to be released October 11th.

AT&T is gearing up for a busy fall with many phones being released soon, including a Blackberry Curve 3G and Blackberry Pearl 3G, in addition to the Windows Phone 7 devices. By the end of November, AT&T will have released 12 new devices since June.

It may seem curious that Microsoft has decided to with AT&T as an exclusive carrier, but when you think about it, this may be just another opportunity to compete with Apple.
