TUAW Poll: What would you do if an iPhone 4G rolled out on Verizon?

Apparently yesterday's poll about the release date of Mac OS X 10.5.8's made some waves in the Apple swimming pool, since we've seen over 6,400 responses in about 15 hours. That poll also made TUAW reader Clinton hungry for a new poll. He wrote:

"Could you do a poll? There is so much speculation about Verizon and a 4G network and the possibility of iPhone going to that platform once it is up and running in 2010. I would like to see a poll to substantiate all the speculation that AT&T customer will leave for Verizon's network if iPhone is available on Verizon's new 4G."

Along with that explanation, Clinton also provided a question and several multiple choice answers. Since he had done most of the hard work, we couldn't help but run this poll. If none of the answers meet your needs, or if you have additional comments to make, please use the comments link below.

If an iPhone 4G was released for Verizon's 4G network in mid-2010, how would you respond?
My AT&T contract is up so I'll leave AT&T and buy a new Verizon iPhone 4G2630 (17.3%)
I'll wait until my contract with AT&T expires, then leave for Verizon.3846 (25.3%)
I'll pay the cancellation fee to AT&T and leave for Verizon.4067 (26.8%)
I'll stick with AT&T and my current iPhone. If everyone else leaves, my network speed might improve.2658 (17.5%)
I don't have or want an iPhone -- ever!355 (2.3%)
You fools! I don't live in the USA, so Verizon and AT&T are dead to me.1647 (10.8%)

I will NEVER leave AT&T.......verizon SUCKS!!!!!
ROLLOVER MINUTES IS THE BEST THING EVER CREATED!!!!!
I'm pretty sure that if verizon comes with an iphone 4G..........down the road AT&T would have one also - along with the other CRAPPY companies like sprint, t-mobile, etc.
In other words i love AT&T and have been a member for over 5 YEARS and never had a problem.
Reception is awsome, in the 5 years i've had AT&T i can HONESTLY say that i only had about 3 to 5 dropped calls......THAT'S IT!!!! PRETTY FUCKING AMAZING I'D SAY.

I, too, am sticking with Verizon until the IPhone comes. I am not interested in an IPhone clone. I am a serious MAC user and want a Apple product

I have a blackberry curve on verizon and if apple put out an iphone i would pay to get the iphone over my curve anyday. The Wifi issue I dont believe will be a big deal because they already have a smart phone with Wifi called the omnia by samsung and they dont charge for you to use it and there are several more phones coming out with Wifi as well. So i would defintely switch to an iphone but only if verizon gets the contract.

ROFL... "would you switch to Vz just for an iPhone". It's funny how 30% say they would...but in reality, it's implausible. All talk, no show.

Same thing was done when checking out marketing to see if ppl would switch to AT&T. Similar results from the poll..about 35% say they would switch to AT&T to get the iPhone, but in reality, it was more like 12%.

You missed a poll possibility - a big one - because AT&T doesn't serve my area of the USA, so I can't have an iPhone. If Verizon suddenly offered the iPhone, I'd bite, simply because then I *could* have an iPhone.

What do I owe AT&T? Just a huge resentment for making sure I couldn't use the iPhone, that's all.

What about us with Jailbroken iPhones? I'm sticking with T-Mobile and my Jailbroken iPhone

If and when the iPhone comes out on Verizon's 4G network, I hope they make the AT&T switchers wait in line behind us loyal Verizon customers.

You've already had your iPhone for years! :)

None of the above fit me... I'm stuck with AT&T, not because of contracts, but because of family. My fiancé's father works for them, and fairly high up, too. Of course, if I have network issues in places I shouldn't, I can report them to him and they get resolved.

a) don't have an iPhone
b) am already with Verizon

Therefore, if the iPhone became available on my network, I would jump for it. granted, I would wait and let others jump first in case there was a cliff there.

I would pick a different answer. I am an original iPhone owner who hasn't upgraded yet, am out of contract. I have been thinking about upgrading, but do not feel the larger monthly fee of 3G is really worth it for my usage. Wifi is available to me most places I use my iPhone. Reception is probably okay with both carriers for my area.

So I will choose based on price and whether Verizon or AT&T limits any iPhone features more than the other.
