At&t iPhone Exclusivity Rumored To End Wednesday
Update 4pm CST: According to BGR, Verizon Wireless store managers have been told that Wednesday will be a big day and it will be a "kick off" for the new quarter, with a live Webcast at 1pm EST. Since this is the same day as the Apple media event, we'll let your imagination run wild with this one.
The blog world is a flutter with the rumors from an "internal source" saying that At&t will lose its iPhone exclusivity this Wednesday, January 27th. HotHardware is the site that had the original leak, but there's been no confirmation on this.
Apple has scheduled a media event for Wednesday, and some believe its to announce this, while others think its to announce one of the biggest rumors ever of an iTablet. We'll have to wait until Wednesday to see what happens.

Nice write up
@pdappcgeek –
One recommendation would be to provide links
oops nevermind well done
this is old news to me…I worked for an AT&T call center, and when the iPhone came out they said that they had exclusive rights through 2009…so now as we are seeing apple will announce this soon.
I believe they extended their original contract until summer 2010, so this announcement would mean they’re ending that deal early.
ya, sure. http://www.sprint.cnnmoney.mlogic.mobi/money/latest_news/latest_news/detail/192681/full;jsessionid=32ECB4555F96BB872492413E8B9DE58F.liveapp18j#p1
@jpwhre –
jumped a lil ahead of myself, read something before seeing this here on ppc. was thinking of rumor that apple iphone to stop being pushed and sold, then read news of iphone getting record sales and put them together and read news here wrong as it wont be sold anymore. my bad.
if verizon gets the iphone you think they will gut it like they have with so many phones.
also i COST per phones and cost per contract at&t basically raped people on the phone and contract
Sprint plzz get iphone.. plz..plzz…plzzz…
