I prefer a physical keypad, but I'm always willing to try something new.
Until the iPhone get Mass Storage Mode, AutoText, and the ability to run a Voice Navigation App I'll consider.06-29-10 04:59 PMLike 0 - yay, another rumor. I thought we would go a week withot one of these. You may want to stop posting links to different sites like it adds credibility. The source site says "unconfirmed source" and everyone else is preaching like its happening. The fact is these rumors are a dime a dozen and considering verizon has flat out said they have no interest in carrying the iphone 4 I'd say analysts need to stop predicting. I'm still trying to figure out what an analysts purpose is, to play a modern day Nostradamus? When it happens it happens, but not one of these "leaked" stories has had any truth to them.06-29-10 05:06 PMLike 0
- This rumor just doesn't die. Bloomberg heard this from "two people familiar with the plans". Give me a break. I hope it does come out but it just doesn't make sense.
Why would Apple release this AFTER the holiday season?
Why would they release a phone 5 months before the next iPhone revision is supposed to come out? It just doesn't make any sense.06-29-10 06:10 PMLike 0 -

Im sure many people will leave AT&T and maybe the download for entertainment will go up from 4.2 to who knows 5-6 because it would definitely open up the congestion that AT&T suffers. But again its a rumor i remember people spreading the rumors that the ipad would be on verizon and only on verizon.
I think Verizon is now on board with Android. Tey are pushing the **** out of the droid lineups. Releasing the Droid X and Droid 2 this summer. They have made it to a point to where they attack the non-open software that the ios is. I would of loved the incredible or even the droid on AT&T but alas its only on verizon. I get great service with both. I can probably see the iphone on T-mobile though..06-29-10 07:32 PMLike 0 - twitter.com/ceoSteveJobs
Check that out. i'm not sure if its the real steve jobs guy but if it is, I think it proves that the iphone is coming out soon.06-30-10 12:40 AMLike 0 -

Not to mention that if Ashton Kutcher got up to 5 million followers simply for making bad movies, I'd think Steve Jobs would have more than 100,000 for being the founder of Apple.Last edited by PolishLogic; 06-30-10 at 12:53 AM.

from Bloomberg: "Wolf estimates that Verizon accounts for about 50 percent of BlackBerry sales in the U.S."
And the US is still 45% of RIM's business currently while the US' population is only 8% of the world's population. "The U.S. now accounts for 45 percent of BlackBerry shipments" (same article as above).
So they rely on the US for nearly HALF of their total business, and VZW at that for about 25% of their total business by the math. An iphone on VZW could really hurt RIM more so then on any other one carrier out there.Last edited by stuaw11; 06-30-10 at 12:59 AM.

I've seen 2006 as the year when they agreed. I've read in multiple places the phone was pitched to Verizon as early as 2005, as a concept of course. I don't know why its hard to think that the contract could have started before June 2007. Also none of us know if that contract has been re-negotiated at some point. And corporate contracts have all sorts of clauses and outs so anything is possible really.06-30-10 07:06 AMLike 0
- No, but VZW does in fact account for 50% of RIM's US business.

- Yeah and this is coming from a guy whose on Sprint I for one have had AT&T/ Cingular my whole time of having a cell phone and have great service. The fact is it gets congested depending upon where you live such as NYC... Love all the people who talk **** on AT&T who arent even there just cause you had a bad experience or know someone who has doesn't mean all of us at AT&T have this issue. I love AT&T and I don't plan to be switching to any other carrier

Verizon Wireless will start selling Apple's iPhone next year, ending AT&T's U.S. exclusive on the phone, say two people familiar with the plans.06-30-10 12:39 PMLike 0 - not sure why that would matter. a contractual agreement is usually from launch and on. If the contract was signed in 06 but the phone didnt come out until 07 they don't lose a year during manufacturing, research and development or marketing. Its based on how long the carrier gets to sell and use the handset
In between the time the product was pitched and agreement was made all the way up to launch any number of things could happen because there was no prototype or anything to go on, so both sides could have signed the agreement with starting date then to avoid any issues.06-30-10 01:35 PMLike 0 - I'll believe it when I see it.
X-Files Fodder: the two sources familiar with the situation are actually plants from Verizon that have been put in place to thwart the momentum of the iPhone 4G launch. What better way to slow down the ATT/iPhone machine than to bait current Verizon customers with another rumor of an impending iPhone launch on Big Red.
Yeah right and the Russians (former Big Red) are our friends and would never spy on us either....
Back to our regularly scheduled programming....06-30-10 02:08 PMLike 0 - Apparently though you CAN email him and Ive heard he will answer, because they say he personally answers all of them. Which boggles the mind considering how many he probably gets. Good luck getting him to tell you anything about the iphone to Verizon though.06-30-10 02:26 PMLike 0
