I talked to a verizon store just the other day and they said in 2010 the iphone will be with them. so look sharp everyone, its coming. I have the blackberry storm and i absolutely hated it at first, but now they have a software update for it and i love it to death now. i actually like it better than the iphone in some ways. but yes i agree, verizon is the best and they need to have access to the most talked about phone. i have only had verizon for a short time (about 1 in a half yrs) and i have never had anything better.. yes it is very expensive but i will pay their price for the excellent service they have.

I used to be AT&T. Verizon is superior and I would like to stay but if they don't get the iphone I will be switching services in the near future. My husband and I are not getting new phone upgrades at this time and letting our verizon contracts expire. Right now Apple has lost selling phones to me so in the future either iphone or verizon will be the loser here. I hope they both get some smarts and I can have an iphone and verizon too!

ATT has an exclusive contract with apple until 2010. You will be seeing the iPhone at Verizon during that year. Verizon cant hurry up and get it. ATT has an exclusive contract with apple until 2010.

I use the Blackberry Storm and that phone sucks. I was hoping it would give me a Iphone type phone. I am not happy with the idea of switching to ATT I had them for home and internet service and there is no service. So listen Verizon.

I'd think they would if they could. My concern is that Verizon could place silly requirements/limitations in a contract that could 'water-down' the capabilities of the Verizon version of an iPhone. I'd hope Apple WOULD say "you either support Apple's current iPhone full capabilities or its no deal". There may be good news, however, for those wanting a Verizon iPhone and those currently with iPhone AT&T. According to the following article: http://www.marketwatch.com/story/att-verizon-plow-billions-into-mobile-2009-09-18 both companies are pumping billions into their networks, despite the economy. This could seem that AT&T is attempting to improve their yucky network/coverage in order to retain iPhone customers and that Verizon may be trying to boost theirs in order to gain future iPhone customers when the AT&T contract ends in December.

They would make twice the amount of money than they do now. Im not only saying this because I have a contract with verizon and would like the iphone for my next phone but apple has created an amazing invention. Apple deserves to make decisions on their own even though they are very close with at&t. If apple decides to bring the iphone to verizon I am very aware at&t will drop in sales but what companies haven't been perfect due to sales decisions. Apple is on a long road headed to success no matter what decisions they decide to make. I believe apple would make a wise choice giving verizon the iphone.
