The UK carriers don't want an unsupported OS, that's why they dropped Symbian as soon as Elop made his announcement in Feb 2011 and it's why they wont offer it now.

The way you try to turn it upside down is ridiculous, in January 2011 every UK carrier was offering Symbian phones.

I've read T-Mobile in Germany have now dropped WP7, I wouldn't be surprised to see UK carriers follow suit there too.
