T-Mobile is JUST like this. I had a friend go in one of their brick-and-mortar retailers today to buy an HTC 8X and he stated that one of the reps told him to buy an S3, Note 2, or wait for an iPhone 5 or HTC One. I also remember last year when I went to T-Mobile to get my Lumia 920 set up on their network, one of the reps urged me to buy a Galaxy S3 and the other getting the 920 set up surely hesitated to get it working.



Honestly, I'm not surprised with this sort of behavior, but US carriers care more about Android and iOS simply because of revenue and commission. If they were to promote Windows Phone more, it would increase its popularity. Instead, we get extremely biased network operators who only market devices for the sole factor of overall popularity; anything else and they try to hide it from existence.
