Verizon Spokesman: No iPhone Plans in 'Immediate Future'
In a very brief response to a question from Beet.tv regarding the iPhone, Verizon spokesman John Johnson notes that the company is not planning to carry the iPhone in the "immediate future", before quickly redirecting the conversation to tout Verizon's new handset offerings.
Q: Let me ask you first of all about Verizon and the iPhone. What is happening, if anything? What is the status?

and of course anyone that has been saying it won't happen will be seeing this as a confirmation of what they want to hear when in reality there is no way that this guy would be giving a straight answer. :rolleyes:
