Cellular South is a regional carrier based in the South East with about 900,000 customers, and they've just released their first smartphone based on WP7, the HTC 7 Pro. Not a bad start, though I'd quibble at the $199 price tag. But then to be fair I don't think they have the deep pockets to subsidise their phone offerings too deeply, especially expensive smartphone models.
