Very true, but i doubt they can/will have Apple change the UI just for them... As it only has the home button, and they cant really change anything else.

That is the reason why Verizon rejected the iphone a few years ago. They wanted to put their own Verizon-ware on the iphone (and also their emblem). Apple refused and so Verizon walked.

Fast forward about 3 years and millions of iphones later... This time around, something tells me that Verizon is a bit more willing to listen... lol.

No kidding. We where just talking about that the other night.

Can you just imagine how many iphones would be out there now if they had been available on VZ from day one??

Hell, it seems like every third person that walks by lately has an iphone (the business I work for just bought 48 of them) & if you could buy one from VZ there would be 10 times as many out there.......

I would have bought one myself (I still would as a second phone)

ATT sucks here also, we have something like 48 iphones total now at the business where I work.

We are in a suburb of Rochester NY & VZ coverage here is rock solid. I laugh when our corporate users b!tch about the awful ATT service as we used to have everyone on VZ (the owners wife here wanted an iphone like all her friends so he switched the ENTIRE corporate plan to ATT).

Our company has two buildings, a main one & a secondary building maybe 50 yards behind the main one. None of the iphones can make/receive a call from the back building...........
