Re:You'd think they'd take a hint... by avatar139 · 2010-10-02 13:28 · Score: 1 · on Microsoft To Charge Phone Makers a Licensing Fee

The reason that Verizon won't carry them is not because of Microsoft's place in the mobile market, but because none of the manufacturers will have cleared the FCC with CDMA phones until later in the year. Verizon has said they will have them in January. Way to spread the FUD.

Actually I did state in my post above that Verizon "announced they are not going to be carrying any Windows Mobile devices for the rest of this year." I'm curious to know the source for your claim regarding manufacturers not clearing the FCC, as most of my reading actually indicated that because Microsoft refused to support CDMA in Windows 7 Mobile (good summary here: http://goo.gl/i6rN). As the article notes, strangely enough though the lack of support was a decision that was supposedly made early this year, the announcement for that came out right after Verizon came out with their press release about dropping Windows Mobile 7 devices. Also, given that Android devices with CDMA have been announced for release this year clearly the handset makers haven't had any reported problems clearing FCC approval. So while I freely admit I may have not included as much detail as I should have regarding certain specifics I think my main point in the post above is perfectly valid; Microsoft needs to understand that they are an underdog in the market now and need to be less arrogant and be prepared to start bending to other companies needs.
