Verizon is currently beta testing the new VERIZON IPHONE with its higher-up employees, my girlfriends bestfriends mother, Owns one, works for verizon(is a high up employee/mgmnt) , i went to her house, because i didnt believe it, and played with it, has the verizon logo, verizon network, and works like a regular iphone, but the verizon network powers it, and it screams……………. christmas of 2010,or if all works out right summer 2010, this is LEGIT, no joke, Im not a apple fanboy, or a verizon fanboy, just a guy with information. Chew on this. At&T is going to lose its rights to the phone. Thier network is not powerful enough and verizon’s inital beta testing with managment, revealed that the iphone is perfectly fitted to be on the verizon network. AMEN.

either Apple can make a whole new type of iPhone that supports a GSM network, or Verizon to change all their phones to support SIM cards. I doubt that either side will be willing to change.

Apple can redesign and try add CDMA chip to the iphone like on of the Blackberry phone offered by sprint that allow phone to be in either network, but not at the same time.

There are just as many Verizon subscribers unhappy with their signal quality. Another point is, there are tons of smartphones that can do everything the iPhone can.

AT&T, Verizon, or whoever gets a chance at the iPhone will likely follow AT&T’s 2007-08 business model, where everything is great for the first year and then it goes back to cronyism as usual.
I wish that Apple would just make this phone more accessible in terms of price and functionality. I think the time has come to end carrier exclusiveness and offer Americans an unlocked version for either GSM or CDMA.

Totally agree with Frank. While Verizon has the best coverage, the iPhone would have to be re-designed for just this 1 carrier. I wouldn’t want to buy a Verizon iPhone anyway since I would not be able to swap out sim chips when travelling abroad.

Everyone always raves about how great Verizon is, but for anyone who travels overseas, their phones don’t have SIM cards and aren’t compatible with everywhere else in the world, so it doesn’t make sense to use them. I’ve also heard from people who work at Verizon stores that the iPhone is coming, but they could just be saying that to keep their customers hoping and waiting. I guess we’ll see.
