Iphone is for a typical consumer. People who don't give a crap about techy things. They just want a reliable smart phone that can reliably get email, pictures, etc. Iphone does it all with the most intuitive interface out there.

Techie nerds tend to prefer droid because they can do so much more with it that 95% of the public could care less about.

OK, I wasn't gonna get in on this one, but I can't resist... come on now Zod. I don't hate on the iPhone, it essentially started the super smart phone revolution, but I'm not buying what you're selling here. My wife has an X and she is without question the least techy person on this entire planet, and she loves it. Checks email, surfs the web, uses navigation all without problem... even set it up all by herself with some brief assistance from the Verizon tech when she got it.

I'm sure there are still a lot of people that will get iPhones when they come to Verizon... and a good bit of it IMO will be due to AT&T. In this area (southeast NC) AT&T sucks donkey ass... I know multiple people that have had it and hated it because the service is so bad.

I won't believe it. There have literally been hundreds of "unnamed sources confirming" the iPhone on Verizon since the first one was realized back in 2007. Untill I see Steve Jobs on stage in a black turtle neck with the Verizon logo behind him I just take it as another rumor

If this happens I'll probably pick one up and at least try it for a couple of weeks to see if I like it since I'm due for an annual upgrade on my account in January. I doubt I will end up keeping it for good though since I absolutely love the Android OS and it's "freedom"....

      Legette admits taking his catching for granted a little his rookie season

      By BlazeCarolina · Posted

      Trying to do anything I got to?  I don't like the way he says that. I want him to work out, but the more I learn about him, the more he seems to just not have that elite mindset.  Would love to be proven wrong. On the last highlights from camp I watched, he still wasn't tucking the ball correctly to run.  He adjusted, but I want that type of thing to be automatic, not something he has to think about.

      Legette admits taking his catching for granted a little his rookie season

      By TD alt · Posted

      The bad thing is that Xavier Legette kind of ignored the Jugs machine his rookie season. The good thing is that he's committed to it now. Catching is important to an NFL receiver (sarcasm), but, perhaps just as important is a receiver's---any player's---mindset.  "This offseason, the young wideout has gotten back to something in terms of preparation (Jugs machine). 'Oh man, it’s always been something I’ve done, and I don’t know why, but I felt like I could take a little breath,' explained Legette (via Darin Gantt of Panthers.com). 'And when you’re playing in this game, you can never do that. It’s always a way to get better, and that’s one of the ways to help with catching. For sure, for sure. In my mind, I’m thinking about ways, things I can do. What can I do to have less drops this coming season in Year 2? 'The whole mindset has changed, man,' added Legette. 'Trying to do anything I got to. I’m sacrificing a lot of things that I used to do outside of the building to put my work inside the building.'" https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/xavier-legette-focused-on-reducing-drops-that-plagued-rookie-year-with-panthers-01k1692c0tz9 So, yeah, it wasn't good coming in taking some things for granted, but Legette is young. His mentality appears to have changed and he appears to be maturing and he's been putting in a lot of work by all accounts.  I know some of you are down on him, but I still have faith. Last season was a disjointed mess in its entirety, but there were still some flashes, particularly with route running. With Legette's seemingly better fit as the WR2, mindset and focus---doing his actual job catching the ball---he should be able to improve. Lastly, I'd like to add, props to Legette for being so open about the need to improve and change his mindset. Some guys wouldn't necessarily admit that publicly. If nothing else, he's honest and down-to-earth.
