That story links to an older story with more detail on the two Samsung's IIRC.
Then there's the HTC Titan and Radar....

And weird thing I've just read, is they're not even bring them to the US (Canada too?) till 2012.
Are they waiting till they have something more top-end to release with them?
Most TMO is missing the fact that there are people who in 10+ year history had only Nokia phones. They are not looking for developer device, don't care about userland, specs. All their phones were Nokia and will be. Samsung? HTC? This is what M$ wants in this deal. Brand affiliation is strong due to reliable phones produced so far. That is huge percentage of the market, even if smartphone fanboys cry and argue about specs
