Verizon iPhone to Launch in January 2011?
Verizon Wireless, the largest U.S. mobile-phone company, will start selling Apple Inc.'s iPhone next year, ending AT&T Inc.'s exclusive hold on the smartphone in the U.S., two people familiar with the plans said.
The device will be available to customers in January, according to the people, who declined to be named because the information isn't public.
Verizon has long been a popular topic for rumors regarding expanded iPhone partnerships in the United States. One recent report had suggested that a Verizon iPhone could make an appearance as soon as November, but most observers have been expecting a 2011 launch on the carrier.

Just heard on Bloomberg that Iphone on Verizon Jan 2011. I guess this is the reason AT&T was offering early upgrades.

Thank goodness, it can only improve the AT&T coverage as people move over to what they think will be an improvement.

Not really good news for the 1.7 million iPhone 4 buyers - they're locked in for a full two years.
You don't suppose AT&T knew this was coming and tried to get everyone locked up in a long term contract. :eek:
