While Sprint may not be in support of Windows Phone 8 yet, one of their regional carriers is on board. MetroPCS COO Tom Key spoke with FierceWireless and had some very positive things to say about their commitment to WP8.

Windows Phone 8 we think has a place in the portfolio. We’re actually working with a manufacturer right now on bringing Windows Phone 8 to marketplace.

He compared Windows Phone to what apple did with the iPhone. He said you have an iMac in the home, MacBook in the office, and iPad and iPhone for the couch. He points out that Microsoft has the same thing now, and they want in. This is great news for those on MetroPCS, and we’ll be anxious to hear the name of the manufacturer they are working with.
