- Yup, that is the buzz swirling around town. Apple will break for VZW to increase its iphone distribution. If anyone remembers Apple went to VZW first and pitched the Iphone however at the time Mr. Jobs wanted (almost total) control of the distribution (plus substantial royalties) and VZW did not think it was worth it and a deal was never made (in a nutshell). So enter ATT and you all know what happended there. Now it seems the big secret may be out and Apple in fact IS working on a CDMA Iphone for VZW to be released by years end. Listen up for some type of announcement to come out very soon. Now for the million dollar question, Would you scrap your Storm for an Iphone!02-24-09 08:02 PMLike 0
- I believe ATT has a 5 year exclusive contract with Apple. On top of that, I want to say (although not with 110% confidence) that ATT has made Apple assure them that during that time, they will not attempt to develop another device for anyone else.

- No. My girlfriend has an iphone, and while it is great, I like my
Storm better. And this is before its issues are fixed. I think in the
Long run people who swap will regret it. Like to d/l mp3's for
Ringtones? Can't do it. Like to send txt msgs with pictures
Attatched? Nope. Can't do it. The list goes on.

You can change them in itunes into ringtones for free, any song you have in there.02-24-09 08:17 PMLike 0 -
- verizon is already moving towards LTE and should have it released by 2010 so i dont think apple would make a cdma iphone especially since the technology will change. and i would stick with my storm, like mentioned before you can do more with the storm compared to the iphone. can an iphone user take a picture in a tunnel02-24-09 08:18 PMLike 0

VZW will be releasing 4G Blackberries and Winmo phones well before we see a Iphone.02-24-09 08:27 PMLike 0 - IT was all over apple site they were hiring CDMA developers about 6mths ago do a search. The terms with att are not public knowledge. So anything anyone says can not be proven.02-24-09 08:28 PMLike 0
- Anything now is just speculation and rumors. If I had to take a guess though I would say that Verizon is likely working on something with Apple, but it's probably not the iPhone...at least not the iPhone as we know it. Just because AT&T has exclusivity for the iPhone doesn't necessarily mean that they can't build a different phone for someone else. Also, if they are working on something now then it will be ready for when their contract with AT&T is up. They aren't going to wait for that to be up and THEN start working on something that may take a year or two to develop. And, FWIW, IF Apple builds a phone for Verizon AND it has the features I would want I will seriously consider it. There's no doubt the quality control for the iPhone is first rate, so all they need to do is give it the important features it's missing. Then they'll be virtually unstoppable. Of course I doubt RIM is just going to sit back and watch, so maybe I'll get another BB!02-24-09 08:40 PMLike 0
- If the Iphone coming to VZW holds true (and I am sure it will) I think Apple will make some changes based on the feedback from their current customer base. One thing I know about VZW...they will have MUCH input into what features the Iphone will need to have just as they did with the Storm...02-24-09 08:41 PMLike 0
- Talking about any iPhone for VzW at this time is really pointless. Just for argument's sake that Apple does have such plan, it will be AT LEAST 2 years away. And in the mobile device world, 2 years is a VERY LONG TIME! The whole mobile phone landscape can totally change in 2 years!02-24-09 08:51 PMLike 0
- Who cares. As an ALMOST Iphone purchaser I now after only 3 days could care less about it. I purchased the Sotrm which is awesome. I am a tech guy and would never switch. My wife has her Iphone and likes it. I'll stick with my Storm anyday.
This is only my opinion, so Iphone users don't get mad.02-24-09 08:55 PMLike 0
