Perhaps Sprint has some exlusivity deal on the 7 Pro?  Carriers seem to be really into carrying models “exclusively” these days.  Its possible other carriers would have to wait a certain amount of time to pick it up, or have HTC create a variant.   Perhaps… it just seems strange that A&T would now let Sprint get the led on this line when previously AT&T has always carried the newest in this line of HTC devices before Sprint and T-Mobile….   All depends on the contracts that are signed between the providers and the manufacturer’s which dictate teh exclusive rights to particular devices. Bottom line is which provider is willing to bid the highest for the device and lay the money down early hoping the device is a winner rather then a flop, seems like sprint and tp-mpbile are willing to take more of a chance given their low market share
