Rumor: Verizon Wireless prepares for the iPhone

Either way you look at it, AT&T is going down. They're going down sooner than you think. And I'll be sitting back pointing and laughing at Mr. de la Vega.

Bad business ethics will always bite you in the ass, just a matter of time.

My 2 cents...

I could care less if iPhone went to verizon, maybe all the delusional people that think verizon is actually a good company would defect from the horrible AT&T network and make it less crappy. Don't get me wrong i can't stand AT&T and the coverage in my house, (and my last house) is atrocious, but i had verizon for 6 years before that and i can honestly say that i had no coverage, not a SINGLE bar in 5 different houses in two different states, not middle of nowhere either. You think AT&T is going to charge more for tethering or unlimited? just WAIT till verizon gets a hold of it. If verizon had anything to say about it they'd probably disable bluetooth and WIFI as well. When they cant innovate or compete with companies (vonage) they try to sue them for dubious patent claims.

I think what they are working on is the upgrade from CDMA to LTE. Once the network is upgraded to LTE that is when I can see the iPhone coming to Verizon. I wouldn't expect to see it before then. From what I have read, that upgrade is not expected to be completed until the 3rd quarter of 2010.

I want to see iPhone working with Pay as you go... Come on! Even college students want to use it without over-paying the monthly charges for low usage!

i say apple should try all of the carriers and also offer an unlocked hybrid phone. sick and tired of people complaining about at&t...

Everyone says that Verizon's ads make it seem like they're against having the iPhone. But the "There's a map for that" make it seem like they think the iPhone would be great... on their network.
And you know what? It would.

The comments about CDMA radio battery life are pretty funny, since any GSM 3G phone uses a WCDMA radio already.

And I was snowmobiling in Michigan and my partner's Verizon phone had no service while my iPhone had service. This kind of anecdotal crap is useless.

It would be interesting to see maps of non coverage and coverage of one carrier versus another. The gaps are the interesting parts.

Produce them with 2G/3G/4G filters if you must but the educate public needs actionable data not data to support a marketing plan...

Dave.... If you're going to re-publish another org's article, don't distort and get us excited for no reason. And thank you for your personal annecdote about your coverage experience. That was really interesting (and probably the only accurate info from your waste-of-time post.) Sorry if this sound harsh but we want VZW, not hype...

Seriously suspsect this guy ran out of things to write and just recycles the dead story again and again.
