Looks like Vodafone will have the Desire available on plans from 8th April (pickup) or 13th April for pre-orders. Not sure why pre-orders are running behind!

You're in luck, then! Windows Phone 7 appears to be coming to T-Mobile USA sometime in November, and it looks like the HD7 might be their premiere device:

Unless you're talking about T-Mobile UK, though. I'm not sure when they're getting WP7, but presumably soon.
The Device-Launch in Uk (Europe) ist the 21st october
Wanted to start this thread to compile all of the Nokia news regarding WP7.x Nokia has really sparked my interest and im waiting to see whats going to replace my DVP. From the loooks of it may be Nokia or Asus.
T-Mobile, Nokia tout 'something exciting' for next week

T-Mobile USA and Nokia have sent out invitations to an event that hypes up "something exciting in the works," likely the first Nokia Windows Phone to hit the United States.
The media event is scheduled for next Wednesday.
The event will likely mark Nokia's latest attempt to get back into the U.S. market. After years of languishing with phones on an aging operating system, Nokia is back with a bit more excitement around its Windows Phone-powered line of Lumia devices. While the phone has already launched elsewhere in the world, it has yet to find a home in the U.S.
T-Mobile, shut off from offering Apple's iPhone, struggling with regulators over a merger with AT&T and, as a result, in need of some positive buzz itself, is likely to take a chance on the Lumia.
Check back with CNET next week for the latest coverage.

Nokia Lumia 900 and Champagne Spotted Once More

Nokia Lumia 800

Nokia already made its first handsets running under Windows Phone available for purchase in various markets around the world, and info on new devices from the company has just started to emerge.
Among these, we can mention Nokia Lumia 900, the high-end device that emerged on the web a few times before, along with another handset from the company, codenamed Champagne.
Both smartphones were spotted in the stats of a news reader available for the Windows Phone platform, namely Times Of India, which clearly indicates that they are powered by Microsoft’s mobile OS.
What the app stats show is that Nokia Lumia 900 users have accessed the software, indicating that the device might be in field testing at the moment.
If so, then we might see the mobile phone going official in early 2012, maybe in January at CES, or next month at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
Rumored specs for the device would include a large 4.3-inch touchscreen display, along with a 1.4 GHz single-core application processor, an 8MP camera on the back 16GB of internal memory, and support for HSPA+ networks.
The handset was already rumored to be on its way to the market during the first quarter of the next year, and chances are that the rumor might actually pan out.
In Q1 2012, Microsoft also plans on making its Nokia Lumia 800 and Lumia 710 available in more markets around the world, and Latin America is a market that should receive them at that time.

Stephen Elop recently confirmed plans to have the two smartphones available in some of the South American markets in early 2012, including Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Mexico or Puerto Rico.
Nokia released these devices only in a few markets this year, and should bring them to more countries soon, including the aforementioned ones, and some others more, as it kicks off mass production of these smartphones.
Nokia Lumia 710 Rumors Target US, UK Releases
File under: News
By: Stephen Schenck | 3:40 PM 7-Dec-11 | 0 Comments
While the Nokia Lumia 800 has been stealing the spotlight, the manufacturer recently turned its attention to promoting the 710, in anticipation of its wide release. Just when will the phone be available where? The Windows Phone handset had been marked as "coming soon" on Nokia's US site, and while it was initially supposed to have its UK debut in November, those plans have been put on-hold. A couple of new finds may just shed some light on the 710's story.
In the UK, retailer Digital-phone.co.uk has updated its page for the Lumia 710 to show the phone's availability as beginning on January 6. We don't know when the site plans to actually start shipping the phone out to customers, but according to this, it will receive its stocks during that first week of January. So far, no other UK retailers have confirmed a date for the Lumia 710's arrival.
Last we heard, the Lumia 710 may come to the US as the Sword on T-Mobile, again in early 2012. While we don't even have a rumored release date just yet, we may be about to find out. Invitations being distributed for an event to be jointly hosted by T-Mobile and Nokia, set to take place on December 14. There are no specific clues to what might be featured, but we'd be surprised not to learn more about the carrier's plans for the 710. Check back with us in a week to see what's revealed.
looks like Tmobile gets the 710
T-Mobile US Nokia Lumia 710 confirmed by manual at FCC

We still don’t know exactly what Nokia and T-Mobile US is announcing on the 14th, but it seems the Nokia Lumia 710 is very likely, with TMoNews uncovering this picture from the Lumia 710 manual at FCC.
Does this handset excite anyone on the US carrier, who have been denied a number of high-end devices now, such as the HTC Titan, Samsung Focus S and possibly the Nokia Lumia 800 also now.
More pages can be seen at TMoNews here.
not to impressed on the 710, im looking for a high-end device from Nokia on Tmobile or unlocked maybe even ATT
I'm not terribly excited about the 710 coming to the US, but if you're not interested in a FFC it might be a better buy than the Radar 4G. Also, the Radar 4G was the 3rd best selling device at T-Mobile in November, so maybe there is a big market there for value priced devices.
I've kinda veered away from HTC from the many problems and the lack of design that they Implement. I'm going to hold out a little longer to see what else they are going to give us before I upgrade. Can't wait for Apollo

My Lumia 900 Was meant to be sent off tomorrow, Received this email today, What a shocker
Dear Customer ,
Thank you for your order for the amazing new Nokia Lumia 900 Windows phone from Phones4U, you are going to be one of the first people in the UK to experience the phone that has taken North America by storm since its launch earlier this month. When you placed your order with us, neither Nokia nor Phones4U were fully aware of how successful the Lumia 900 launch would be. Due to the current level of demand for the Nokia Lumia 900, we will not now be able to send you your device on the 27th April.
In the UK, the Nokia Lumia 900 will be available exclusively from Phones4U from the 14th of May. We apologise for what will be a short delay and we expect to be able to send you your new Nokia Lumia 900 on the 14th May.
We understand that you will be disappointed so, in addition to receiving your free Nokia Play 360 wireless speaker, we would like to inform you that, as you were among the first people in the UK to order your Lumia 900, you will also now receive a set of Nokia Purity by Monster in ear headphones (RRP £99.99). We know that this will not make your Lumia appear any faster, but we hope it will make the wait a little more bearable.
Kind regards
Phones4U & Nokia
There is too much demand for this phone in the US right now that's why it is delayed. They want to have enough stocks for AT&T.
Always amazes me how across the pond get everything first eh we normally get left with ****ty colour options and barrel scrapings, Then again at least it wont have AT&T branding
Hi! Anyone who has purchased the Lumia 900 or purchases it from now until April 21, Nokia will credit $100 to your Rogers bill.

Lol. As soon as I saw the announcement about the US $100 credit, I emailed the Nokia blog that announced it asking if we'd get it as well.
I wonder if that helped...
