An iPhone? No way! On Verizon? Where?!?

| There are several major different selling points of the iPhone. The biggest one in my opinion - IT JUST WORKS. No need to unlock and flash a custom ROM, no need to soft-reset, Just click your app and BOOM – it opens. Now I will admit that there are several major problems with the iPhone like the OS, the network, the battery being fixed, no hardware keyboard among others, and I would never get one. And yes, some of these problem can be fixed with aftermarket products. And I have several on my iTouch. But the one thing I have never seen a fix for was the network. Still leaning out of my window to get a 3G fix. Well, until now.  |
According to the iphoneblog, Apple is making a smaller, CDMA compatible “World Phone” for Verizon.
It is supposed to arrive Q3 of 2010, but may be later.
So the real question is, now that we are getting a phone that just works, on a network that just works, who is going to be switching? Leave your thoughts in the comments.

AT&T just works for me, so why should I switch. And if everyone else does, well, all I can say to existing Verizon customers is “there goes the neighborhood.”

The only nice thing i can say about the iPhone is that it has a big screen perfect for watching movies/videos, aside from that iv always hated it.. now that its gunna be on a verry reliable network they make a smaller version,why? who wants a smaller screen,i mean that was a huge selling point for apple and there gunna screw it up? if apple goes through with it i wouldnt be suprised if VZ backs outta the deal..
- waiting for the HD2

Believe or not we need AT&T being verizon customers. Competition keeps prices low and I want to be on the best network, chastise those who are on AT&T, however, at the end of the day I’m glad their there.

ugliest little thing lol. I’ll trade “just works” (the way we tell you it will) for just works the way I want it to any day. notice no quotes on just works the second time…iphone literally never had any selling points as far as I’m concerned so I won’t be one switching to hyped up “dumb”phone. especially if it’s that ugly and with recent security holes…

Where’s the earpiece and the mic?

To be quite honest, I’ve got my Moto Droid now, and I love it. It does everything that the iPhone can and can’t. Movies are fine, music is fine. I put in a 32Gig MicroSD card, and bam, I’m ahead of the game. No need for the iPhone IMO for Verizon, we have Droid

Verizon is “douching” up their service too much for me to switch to them. $15 charge to use Exchange Active Sync?! There’s a couple of other new wack-ass fees they are working on too.
Not to mention I would NEVER buy an iPhone. I hate Apple. Besides, the iPhone is the Scion xB of cell phones. I prefer Rolls Royce.

i am not an iphone fan but if i was this nano would not cut it for me if i was actually looking for an iphone on a reliable carrier. If i actually wanted an iphone and my carrier gave me this, i would be extremely mad.

Verizon doesnt charge for using an Exchange server, they only charge if you want Verizon to use their own exchange server to push out your emails. Ive been using Microsoft exchange through Verizon with out getting charged.

Weird that no one has corrected you on the use of “iTouch”
My “iFriends” always correct me on that… and I always intentionally say it, because I know how much it irks them, and I’m a winmo fanboy…

Actually kind of intriguing – I’ve been holding on to my HTC Vogue/xv6900 because of the small form factor – a true pocket-sized touch-screen iphone running on VZW network could be very cool -
