- SevereDeceitSDThey are teaming up with their sister company, Vodafone, which uses GSM. On future VZW devices you will be able to choose GSM or CDMA. As a side note, if Verizon does indeed carry the Iphone, they will dominate over every carrier out there...12-29-09 12:03 PMLike 0
- Not going to happen in the next few years.. sorry guys. Keep slamming the iPhone Verizon, I see a new contract develop between AT&T and Apple until 2014 when LTE will be mainstream.. in the meantime keep guessing.12-29-09 02:20 PMLike 0
- I dont think so. Apple will not be upping the contract with ATT. They will almost assuredly open up to new carrier(s). Even if they dont go with Verizon they will atleast be on T-Mo.12-29-09 05:02 PMLike 0

- VZW can say they are ready all they want but if the iPhone were to ever come to them they would be sweating with all the traffic.. And I highly doubt they would be able to support it.
Simply put they would simply turn into AT&T.. aka not being able to handle it.12-29-09 08:13 PMLike 0 - I don't understand why Verizon laughs at ATT and uses the iphone as an example as poor 3G they provide, but now they are goind to start selling the phone?12-30-09 10:25 AMLike 0
- Not really. Verizon would do a much better job at handling the iPhone traffic than ATT. The issue with ATT is backhaul capability. It just isnt/wasnt there. Verizon has already had more backhaul built into its network and has been keeping ahead of its traffic. ATT really sat around and did who knows what with all the money they were bringing in instead of preparing their network like they should have.12-30-09 04:38 PMLike 0
- hmmm you must know steve jobs huh? that would just be a stupid decision by a company considering verizon has so much better service and more subscribers in the US.12-30-09 07:30 PMLike 0

and more subscribers in the US.
The whole point of the iphone now is that its ONE phone across carriers- GSM. They dont have to build multiple versions, there are just different bands of GSM/HSPA. This keeps costs low so they can actually afford to sell them for <$200 pricing- buy massive bulk parts and chips in one flavor.
Also, if you think the 3G iphone is bad battery life on HSPA, youre in for a trip putting it on the more power-hungry CDMA. Youre battery will be dead in 3 hours usage.
You, along with others here, seem to think because it benefits your or other VZW subscribers' personal agendas that its all of the sudden truth/fact, or that Apple all of the sudden should and will instantly come to terms with VZW over control of the phone and app store.
Put it this way, Apple wants the cut of the hardware, service, and control over their platform, and if the carrier wont give it to them, bye bye! they have PLENTY of influence in the market now to shun off any carrier who wont play ball and still sell tens of millions of units without them- like they are now even without VZW. JUST like the first time Apple approached VZW for the first iphone. From recent history I dont see VZW bending to Apple anytime soon.Last edited by stuaw11; 12-30-09 at 08:21 PM.

Those who jumped ship for a iphone has already jumped. That leaves us Americans who would like a iphone but refuses to go to AT&T.
I honestly see Apple going with a Wimax iphone as it could be sold to 260 carriers worldwide.12-30-09 09:33 PMLike 0 -
The point of the iPhone is to be the best cell phone and capture the most market share. They do have to build a different version if they want to go to T-Mo as there is not a feasible chip that can capture all of the GSM/3G bands across ATT and T-Mo's spectrum. Its either or.
Wrong and misinformed again. Compare how long batterys last between the Bold 9700 on ATT with a 1500mah battery with talk time of 6 hours on GSM and the Tour on Verizon with a 1400mah battery and talk time on 1x at 5 hours but which is actually tested at 6 hours.
Take a look at the a non-RIM phone like the Touch Pro 2/Tilt 2. Same phone same battery, ATT 3G 390 min, VZW 318 min (from HTC themselves), 1 hour 12 min more talktime on the SAME battery and SAME exact phone except the radios.
Fact is people complain about the iphone battery life as is, probably the most out of anything about it. If you lost an hour and few minutes of use, imagine the amount of complaints.
You think that you know what Apple is doing behind closed doors and the details of their business plan. No one here is stating that its will/should come to Verizon as fact. Youre the one getting super defensive and stating all these reasons why its not coming to xxxx carrier like its fact.
Until someone provides a STITCH of evidence of VZW getting it threads like this are baseless and useless.
Really? More proof youre misinformed. Verizon gave Google/Motorola a completely open and free platform with the Droid. They didnt change the market or restrict it in any way. They left the device 100% open and are not controlling anything with it. Also one of Verizon's executives would not release a public statement saying they are open to the iPhone and would welcome it if they were not interested in being open to dealing with Apple.Last edited by stuaw11; 12-30-09 at 11:15 PM.

Now if it were VZW that had the iPhone exclusively and not AT&T it would be like a little girl cry'n for her momma as bad or worse than AT&T.
Verizon.. get your LTE available to 50% of the country then you will see an iPhone and by all means stop your jealous whiny iPhone commercial attacks. Apple will tear you up in the commercial realm.. you don't want any.
For now just keep making love to your hemorrhoid until the far future.
I say Apple just buy Verizon, AT&T and RIM and put us all out of our misery.Last edited by Entertainment72; 01-03-10 at 04:56 PM.

- Boy you sure sound like VZW cannot do any wrong.. fanboi much? If and that is a huge BIG if..the iPhone goes to VZW it will probably not crumble as bad as AT&T only because the iPhone is already available on AT&T thus alleviating the burden they would normally have.
I am willing to bet that when the iPhone does land on Verizon, from that point forward iPhones will sell more on Verizon than ATT on a quarterly basis. And that sir is something I will put money on.01-03-10 07:03 PMLike 0 - Verizon and Apples relationship is not how you are making it out to be. Is it peachy, no. Will they do business together, yes. Because money and the bottom line is what matters most.01-03-10 07:05 PMLike 0
