Verizon's CFO, Fran Shammo, shared that VZW plans to push hard into the market with Windows Phone later on in the year. He said, "we're really looking at the Windows Phone 8.0 platform because that's a differentiator. We're working with Microsoft on it." He further elaborated that Verizon might pour a huge marketing budget into WP like it did with Android in the past, which worked out pretty well for the little green Android. Between a big Verizon marketing campaign and the huge one that Microsoft and Nokia are already pushing, we could actually end up with a strong third smartphone platform competing in the market by the end of this year. Mr. Shammo shared that VZW plans to have WP phones in time for the holiday shopping season this year.
