From the article:

While Verizon's network is popularly perceived to be better than AT&T's, it has yet to be tested by the heavy volume of data use that accompanies the iPhone.

Gonna be interesting when the rush of new iphones start flexing Verizons network.
A T & T pays the bills in my house, so I'm kinda partial.

No, allegedly it will still be running on 3G which means no browsing while on a call. Additionally it would be a bad move for someone to buy now as traditionally apple releases a new model each June and I don't forsee this being any different if the verizon phone is going to be the same platform as the current iPhone 4

Nothing alleged about it, it's plain old 3g cdma.

I completely agree with everything else Andrew. WWDC is going to be June. If the past is any indication there will be a new iPhone unveiled. If I were in the market for a Verizon iPhone I would wait a few more months.


PS - LOVE my Chico State Mug!

Eh, there is a new phone every six months that makes your current one out of date no matter what you do. And if I'm not mistaken generally CDMA versions release later so who knows if they will be same date release or not.

I agree whole heartedly, but this is MID-product cycle. I buy a brand new to the market phone I expect it to be overtaken by something new. With this you are already half-way there.

They are going to see a metric a$s-load - it's freaking brilliant.

I get what you mean, I just have my doubts the cdma version of the next iphone will release at the same time. Given how fast phones advance already, I'm fine with taking the risk. Especially since I'm eligible for an upgrade already

Default Re: Verizon Finally Lands iPhone!

It makes me sad to think of how bad Verizon will screw up iphone.
The iphone OS doesn't lend itself to nickel and diming a person for everything, and that's their business model.
My other comment is "I'll believe it when I see it."

Still not an official announcement. WSJ has reported about 10 times that the iPhone is coming to Verizon. Eventually they will be right.

Like I said before, I'll believe it when Verizon AND Apple have both officially announced it and even then I'll really only believe it when they go on sale (see white iPhone 4g).
