At least that's what Microsoft says about its WP7-based CDMA smartphone. This seems to be the last good news for Verizon and Sprint customers who crave smartphone with Windows Phone 7 operating system.
Mid-2011 (max July 2011) may not be so bad to wait for Sprint or Verizon's WP7-CDMA, which Microsoft itself may take longer to perfect its OS or may wait until the right time to launch it.
In mid 2011, WP7 smartphone is probably not the one from Nokia (Nokia-WP7), but HTC 7 Trophy () and HTC 7 Pro () those had already entered in the line first. While Nokia-WP7 has been confirmed officially by Nokia about the delay until 2012.
