Looks like the Verizon iPhone is a Done Deal

[Woodcookedbbq]

It's about damn time. I'd love to have an iPhone, but I sure as hell ain't switching to crappy AT&T to get it.

This going to hurt AT&T

[Zod]

Still don't understand all the AT&T hate. Had it for years, never drops calls, reliable 3g everywhere I go.

Don't believe Zod, and I don't care anymore about the iPhone because it's < Droid X.

To late, I love the Android operating system. wouldn't want to have to deal with Iphone control and limitations

[Zod]

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.

And it makes phone calls.

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.

By the way, that article doesn't tell us anything new.. Until you hear it out of the words of Verizon (who are very tight lipped), nothing has been "confirmed"

Don't get your hopes up

[The_Cannon]

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"....
