Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I finally got a new laptop with a lone USB 3.0 port. I'm now looking at getting a USB 3.0 hub with a power adapter so I can use both of my USB 3.0 hard drives at faster speeds. I've read lots of horror stories where some hubs either don't come with power adapters -- and as a consequence the portable drives don't work with them properly -- or they are designed poorly which results in USB 2.0 speeds. Or, the hard drives keep getting disconnected. Do your readers have any suggestions or experience using USB 3.0 hubs? Thanks!"
So I guess no CDMA love in any of this. More likely early to mid 2011 before any Win Phone 7 on Sprint or VZW.

Conflipper is a regular in the underworld of HTC ROM cooking. So when he tweets about unreleased devices and their respective carrier support you really outta listen. First up is the HTC Scorpion (aka, Olympian) which he claims is going to Verizon and Bell Mobility -- a device previously rumored to be packing Froyo with WiMax and a 1.5GHz Snapdragon whipped topping. Conflipper also claims to have the inside scoop on a quartet of Windows Phone 7 devices and their respective North American launch partners: the HTC Spark_W (Bell Mobility and Verizon), HTC Gold_W (Sprint), HTC Shubert (Telus), and the HTC Mondrian (Telus, Rogers and AT&T). Note that the "_W" in those handsets signifies a worldphone device with dual-mode CDMA and GSM radios. And in the immortal words of Klaus Meine, "Time, it needs time." So true.
@merovingian
The way Verizon and Sprint are all about android these days are you truly surprised?
It wouldn't surprise me if MS is a little miffed at Verizon right now given the Kin catastrophe and the fact that verizon is all in with this whole "droid does" campaign.
People like to assume that Apple is running AT&T but I truly think AT&T is just waiting for Windows Phone 7 as it's other platform to truly push into consumer's minds. Sure they'll carry android phones but AT&T knows that it doesn't really need them persay. It's doing quite alright with just the iPhone alone and it probably want's to wait and take a chance on WP7 rather than jump into android at the moment...
Just my two cents...
@BrookLynnsFinest
I don't think AT&T like having their phones open to let consumers do what they want to do with them. Like how they butcher every android phone they've ever had and herald the iPhone because of its closed nature. They want to control you and bill you for everything they can. As with most networks.
@BrookLynnsFinest
Keep up the good commentong Brooklyn.
Just my two upranks
@merovingian Every carrier is getting WP7, don't worry. AT&T is the frontman here, the other US carriers will get devices soon after.
@BrookLynnsFinest I'm pretty sure it's the other way around. Verizon is the one pissed as MS for them delaying the release forever.
@Kleptomaniac That has not been my experience at all. When I call customer service regarding my phone(s) (I had a G1 just to see if I liked android... wasn't the OS for me) they just asked me for the iMEI number to associate with my phone, without any other questions asked about what I'm doing. They are very vocal about how proud they are that they allow customers to use unlocked phones on their network, and that's the reason I can't quit them. It's a winning formula for me.
@BrookLynnsFinest Well, it was really Microsoft's fault that Verizon treated the Kin like it did, and Microsoft should know that.
