iPhone

OK, this is way out there off topic, but hey... my friends here on TE seem to always "know all" lol, so here we go...

Does anyone know any truths to the rumor as to when Verizon might be getting the contract for the iPhone?

Short of long story, I don't really want to deal with switching services, but want-need the iPhone. And "yes" I do know the Droid is the Verizon wanna-be-iPhone, but certain things I hate about it. Thus, holding onto hope in this delusional phone fantasy rumor that Verizon will get the rights soon.

Bueller, Bueller, Bueller...

p.s. and "yes", I did also ask the phone company this... reply: dunno.

I know that AT&T's exclusivity contract w/ Apple will be ending soon. I think that just means that Verizon and other carriers will have the option of adding the iPhone to their mix.

That is my understanding as well. It would be interesting to see if Verizon would limit access to some of the iPhones more advanced features with additional pricing. I've never been with Verizon, but I've had friends with other smartphones with them that had that problem.

If you google iphone verizon, you'll find that it's a) still up in the air and b) most that think Verizon will get iPhone access think it will be a different, cheaper, iPhone with fewer features.
That said, I love love love my iPhone and am less than thrilled with AT&T, so I think it's worth waiting to find out.
the guess out there seems to be June for at worst and official announcement and at best actual Verizon iPhone availability.

I feel the same way. I would love to have my iPhone with Verizon.

I just hope it's before my next renewal window. I got a new phone ("new every 2") in Dec. and it would have been an iPhone, were that available at Verizon. I have a Samsung Alias 2...I like it, but DH got the HTC Eris/Droid...I really like it. Not as much as I would like an iPhone, but I am kind of kicking myself for not going the smartphone route, too.
