Yesterday we pointed out an interview with Sprint Executives where they were quoted as saying Windows Phones did not sell well and there would be no new devices until at least the fall. While it is no mystery that Windows Phones are not flying off the shelves it was the another quote from the article that made Phone 7 fans upset. The statement was that they number one reason for returned Windows Phones was the experience even though The HTC Arrive is one of their top rated phones.

Sprint has added a direct carrier billing option when purchasing Android apps from the Market. Both AT&T and T-Mobile both already support direct carrier billing. It is likely the direct carrier billing option will be extended to Google’s coming music service. With Amazon currently offering the Amazon Android App Store and having the Amazon Cloud Player for Android I don’t know how valuable the direct carrier billing will be.

The time is coming for the first CDMA Windows Phone 7 device to hit the market. Instead of Verizon being first, it turns out that, Sprint will release Windows Phone 7. If you are planning to get the HTC Arrive from Sprint, you can actually pre-order the device from Wirefly.com for 50 dollars. Of course, a price like that requires a two-year contract but that is not a big deal. The actual release date on Sprint is expected to be on March 20th.
