Verizon iPhone More Likely When 4G Networks Arrive in 2010

If ATT does not get an extension, maybe they will come up with a deal where they still use ATT but the iPhone can be on other networks as well.
It seems logical.

This would be awesome.

steve will invite him for dinner when it is time to talk

If the iPhone ever goes Verizon it's game over for the rest.

Yeah! Screw AT&T! I get no service where I live, and they overcharge a lot. Here's hoping Verison keeps it under $80/month ;)

I work for Verizon and that sounds like a good plan for them. It will provide for time to get the 4G network rolled out and tested... Then.... Bring on the iPhone to make USE of it.

Nice job Ivan we're all behind you!

I actually think they will offer the iphone to T-Mobile as well. They would not have to alter anything, just make the iPhone unlocked (GSM Version) which might potentially open up the flood gates but the way the iPhone is supposedly going to reach the china market (Where supposedly allot of unlocked iphones were floating around) and the iphone has already filtered in other countries, I actually think it will reduce allot of the need to unlock.

Making a move to Verizon,T-Mobile would be a nice move.
I have family that stay in places where Verizon is the only service that works, some were T-Mobile only works.

So maybe they have been waiting until Verizon gets their situation taken care of before making an initial leap or maybe we are all wrong and Apple sticks with ATT for another couple of years (If Apple is coming out with a netbook, maybe the opposed netbook will not be with ATT and that is why they are asking for an extension).... Questions and answers to what it could or could not be....Guess we all will have to wait for the final verdict

In a BIG way. I could join my family again!!!!

Well, we'll see whether ATT or VZW gets their LTE network up to snuff quicker. If VZW can deliver the network and decides to carry the iPhone without crippling it like they have done to every other half-decent handset they've had, then I would consider switching over. Nothing wrong with some healthy competition.

What 4G technology is T-Mobile going to be implementing? They currently provide 3G on a band that the iPhone doesn't support.

Oh that's good. That way the iPhone can sport a hindered version.

I seriously just got done with speaking to a Verizon rep not 20 minutes ago. My Storm had a host of issues, which they tried to direct me to their "tech" support.

They claimed (there were 4 idle employees) that their Storms worked. I said well it must be an exclusive employee version because half the time this phone has a mind of its own.

All I wanted originally was some earbuds as the ones that come with the Storm are the cheapest damn things i've ever seen. Mine broke in a way I cannot contemplate how.

Even walking in, I had to touch the screen of a computer about 4 times to create a *ding* to get a salesperson. From there, I knew they didn't want my business.

Granted this was not my usual location of store, I was at a different side of town. But where I'm from, just walking into the store you're greeted and fought over by at least 3 employees.

I was greeted to the image of a man's as*. An employee was, and I kid you now, crouching on a kiosk / computer desk deal, working on something. Apparently it was a slow day.

But, that's not the typical Verizon experience. I'm just ranting.

...

But I seriously don't want a CDMA iPhone. It provides healthy competition that other makers and other companies need to learn to match. Except the idea of an all iPhone world is appealing...*runs to Photoshop*
