1. Verizon bashes the iPhone so much and then it expects Apple to give them it
2. "we're still having an awful hard time picturing a CDMA-equipped version every happening", every should be ever]]>Oct 26th 2009 3:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/26/verizon-chief-says-offering-the-iphone-is-apples-call/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/26/verizon-chief-says-offering-the-iphone-is-apples-call/
B) Business bash each other all the time and still work together. They bash when they need to to compete, and they collaborate when it's in both their self-interests. The bottom line is money, and Apple is not going to say "We won't work with you because you made fun of us" if Apple can gain financially.]]>Oct 26th 2009 3:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/26/verizon-chief-says-offering-the-iphone-is-apples-call/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/26/verizon-chief-says-offering-the-iphone-is-apples-call/Oct 26th 2009 7:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/26/verizon-chief-says-offering-the-iphone-is-apples-call/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/26/verizon-chief-says-offering-the-iphone-is-apples-call/
Cause its not news, we already know about it everyday when the AT&T and Verizon and Apple fan boys remind us that its not on Verizon and "it will be soon". Its been 2.5 years, and its not happened, so "soon" cant be said anymore.

And its written like a commentary, simply because its telling us what again, we already know... nothing new here other then Verizon CEO hinting that they want it and its up to Apple to produce it. Apple doesnt want to produce a NON-GSM technology phone for ONE major carrier thats been pining after it. Hell Telus and Bell Canada went HSPA and carry it now...why didnt Verizon and Sprint team up and do something? Why didnt Verizon team up with AT&T and co-brand it?

Simply stating the obvious...yet again.]]>Oct 26th 2009 3:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/26/verizon-chief-says-offering-the-iphone-is-apples-call/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/26/verizon-chief-says-offering-the-iphone-is-apples-call/because it will never work or sell. apple should teach verizon a lesson and sign with sprint

Verizon should stick to their Network Services and leave everything else to the Phone Manufactures/Software Companies.

The number of new contract customers fell more than 50% from a year earlier, largely because Verizon lacked any new high-profile devices in the period."

As long as AT&T doesn't let its network go completely to pot, this will continue to be a huge advantage to them. Verizon can have a gold plated network, but as long as AT&T's network is good enough for their users, the fact that they continue to be the only carrier to have the iPhone will be the deciding factor.

I switched from Verizon to AT&T a year ago for the iPhone and have been very satisfied with it. If Verizon would carry a phone that I like as much as the iPhone, then I would consider switching again. Alas, the lack of multi-touch from their phones is a deal-breaker for me. It's also nice to be able to use voice and data at the same time, but maybe LTE will change that for Verizon.]]>Oct 26th 2009 5:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/26/verizon-chief-says-offering-the-iphone-is-apples-call/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/26/verizon-chief-says-offering-the-iphone-is-apples-call/Oct 26th 2009 5:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/26/verizon-chief-says-offering-the-iphone-is-apples-call/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/26/verizon-chief-says-offering-the-iphone-is-apples-call/Oct 26th 2009 5:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/26/verizon-chief-says-offering-the-iphone-is-apples-call/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/26/verizon-chief-says-offering-the-iphone-is-apples-call/Oct 26th 2009 5:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/26/verizon-chief-says-offering-the-iphone-is-apples-call/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/26/verizon-chief-says-offering-the-iphone-is-apples-call/Oct 26th 2009 7:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/26/verizon-chief-says-offering-the-iphone-is-apples-call/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/26/verizon-chief-says-offering-the-iphone-is-apples-call/
Even though apple is strictly apple.. they know what there doing and there software is great.

I highly doubt verizon will have the iphone, unless they go LTE soon or switch to HSPA. I know in canada, Bell and Telus, big CDMA companies are now switching to HSPA/GSM to carry the iphone. ]]>Oct 26th 2009 7:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/26/verizon-chief-says-offering-the-iphone-is-apples-call/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/26/verizon-chief-says-offering-the-iphone-is-apples-call/Oct 27th 2009 10:16AM
