I wonder if AT&T would skip this one since it would be a competitor specifically to the iPhone. It would be in the best interest of AT&T to add this phone to its lineup (more customers, more $30 data plans) but it would not be in the best interest of Apple.
Why would AT&T pick this up? It's identical to the iphone except it has a crappier operating system. That would be counter productive to their contract with Apple.
What are you talking about it? It has a crappier opperating system than the Iphone? I will admit that the WinMo isn't the greatest system but it's a very open system and has been improving greatly. It alows almost endless possibilities with additional programing and customization for each individual user. Iphone can not be altered or changed. You can't even swap out the battery! All you end up doing is paying more for the samething.
This opperating system isn't the greatest but the phone is amazing and it has a lot more to offer than the Iphone. Plus there is a possibility to convert to the android if it is good. And there may have been some discussions between apple and google but what's the point in running android ON TOP of apple's OS? Cuz that's all apple is going to allow.

This variant certainly won't be coming to AT&T since it doesn't have US-UMTS/HSDPA. Maybe further down the line.
