goto Droid from Verizon Wireless

do you think Verizon would go this route if they were getting the iPhone in a few months

Thank you! People need to stop thinking Verizon is getting an iPhone anytime soon. I've mentioned this in countless other threads but some just pay no attention. With this anti-iPhone stand Verizon is currently taking it may do or already have done damage to the relationship between the two companies.

It's not happening folks.

Maybe all of these threads should just be closed now.

Gotta agree with JFSikora..

There is no way Verizon would be doing this unless their relationship with Apple once again has went south. All these ads should be tell-tale signs that the iPhone will not be on Verizon annnnnnnytime soon.

No, actually Verizon coverage is terrific, at least in my area. As a Verizon customer, I rarely have a dropped call and I rarely can't get a signal.

I just wanted to say that as a BB user who wants to get an iphone, I haven't because of the coverage issue in my area.The Verizon iphone stories keep popping up, because there are so many people who want the iphone to be on the Verizon network. Verizon customers would be flocking to the iphone in huge numbers. I know many VZ customers who have told me they would move to the iphone if it comes to VZ. We can hope and rumors fuel the hope.

Verizon sucked when i had it!! Their reception sucks and their customer service sucks...I have no issues with att's 3G network, its terrific!! Sry to shyt on your parade jc01108 ;-)

As someone who uses MacPros and is typing on a Macbook Pro right now, I would like to be able to use the iphone in my area. It is a great device. They need to make it more available. It is my understanding that in France, where the iphone is on more than one carrier, that they have 40% of the market for smart phones. That is an incredible number.

The FCC has to approve any new phone model (LTE or CDMA). This means public paperwork
Apple has to purchase the parts and make the phone. This means leaks.

Verizon reps hear about new models AFTER the public announcement. It's in the style of big businesses.

Verizon is switching to LTE from 2010-2014. That's right, 5 years to do it. Not only in 2010.

The major reason I don't see a CDMA iphone EVER coming to Verizon is precisely because they're moving away from the technology.

The first LTE phone will be dual 2G/3G GSM and LTE. Why? Because the LTE network will not have 100% coverage for years. 3G still doesn't have 100% coverage 10 years after being created.

Yup and Verizon is trying to compete with the iPhone which has been ahead of every other smartphone. It remains #1 and Verizon is acting like a whiny little kid who can't get its way. I've seen pictures of the Droid and I'm not impressed. I did want the iPhone on Verizon.. not anymore. The iPhone should go to a carrier that really deserves it. I'm thinking T-Mobile yeah yeah I hear a bunch of boos on this one but hey they have to pump up there network and increase there 3G coverage.

First of all, I read not too long ago that Verizon said that they are not going to carry the Palm Pre. And it was from an official source - what source that was from, I don't remember, but if I do find it I'll post a link.

Second of all, if Verizon really was going to get the iPhone, why on earth would they make a commercial bashing it? Makes no sense at all. From the way the commercial looked, Apple denied Verizon of getting the iPhone, thus Verizon making the commercial. Then again, I could be completely wrong.

We'll see how it goes.
