(Reuters) - T-Mobile USA, a unit of Deutsche Telekom (DTEGn.DE), said it will support Windows Phone 7 software and plans to reveal details of phones based on the Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O) software at an event on Oct 11.
AT&T Inc (T.N), the No. 2 U.S. mobile service, also plans to make an announcement about phones based on the Microsoft software at the event hosted by Microsoft.
New Windows 7 phones are expected in stores in time for the holiday shopping season.
At the event, T-Mobile USA, the U.S. No. 4 mobile network, is expected to announce a Windows Phone 7 device made by Taiwan's HTC Corp (2498.TW), according to a person close to the matter who asked not to be named.
HTC is a long-time Microsoft partner but has recently been heavily focused on making phones based on Google Inc's (GOOG.O) Android software. It said it would make new Microsoft phones, but declined to give any further details.
A T-Mobile USA official also declined to give details.
The launch of Microsoft's new phone software is being seen a test of the world's largest software company's ability to catch up with rivals Apple Inc (AAPL.O) and Google, which have vaulted past it in the fast-growing market for smartphones.
