Wal-Mart to Carry Verizon iPhone in Nearly 600 Stores Tomorrow
"We're excited to bring iPhone 4 on the Verizon Wireless network, one the most anticipated mobile phone launches in recent history, to Walmart customers," said Gary Severson, senior vice president, Home Entertainment, Walmart U.S. "As customers continue to embrace smart phone technology, we've added nearly 20 smart phone models to our assortment, including the new Verizon Wireless iPhone 4."
Verizon had noted in its press release announcing record-breaking pre-sales for the iPhone that Wal-Mart would be carrying the device, but it had been unclear how many locations would be carrying it at launch. Still unknown is exactly which Wal-Mart stores will have the Verizon iPhone tomorrow, so customers should call their local stores to determine availability.Apple and Verizon have already opened their websites to the general public for iPhone orders, with availability set for tomorrow. Both companies are currently showing shipping estimates of February 18th for new orders, although orders may presumably ship sooner than that as availability allows.

Nice to know that you don't have to go to an Apple store to get their phone. The nearest Apple store near me is 1 hour. Nearest Walmart- 15 mins. Great way to increase sales.
Well, you could also go to the obvious... the Verizon store. Surely you have one of those close-by.

True, true. But walmart is 5 mins closer than the Verizon store. I don't care anyway, I have the iPhone on AT&T.
Genuine plea for help.... who/what are they and why is it such a big deal?
Will it be placed next to "real" cheese or plastic tomato?
Next to 2% milk actually

You mean whole milk. ;)
I don't know..but something about buying an iPhone 4 at Wal-Mart just doesn't seem right. At least around here, Wal-Mart is definitely the lower end of the food chain when it comes to shopping places. You might get mugged in the parking lot. Buy your iPhone 4 along with your Twinkies, then head on over to "WE BUY GOLD" to get your loan.
I'm from the UK. I'd never heard of Verizon until a few weeks ago.

You're in the UK. So you've heard of Vodaphone. Vodaphone owns a good deal of Verizon. Verizon is a CDMA carrier (different than the GSM tech you're used to in Britain and Europe). CDMA is a popular tech here in the States, and parts of Asia.
Verizon is the largest cell phone company in the US, and is well known for its extensive coverage area and overall quality of service. It's also known as one of the more expensive carriers in the US.
Until now AT&T has been the sole provider of iPhones in the US. Having an iPhone on Verizon opens up the door to about 100 million new potential customers for Apple.
Basically it's a big deal, because it looks like the iPhone is about to explode, again, in the US. For those people who love the phone, but have been stuck in poor coverage under AT&T, will now have an opportunity to try out a new carrier. There's also been an avalanche of hype about the iPhone coming to Verizon for years and now it's coming true.
