I got all excited until I saw the article dated 29 September 2008. I'm with Alltel and would be ecstatic to get the iPhone.

Looks like Verizon is trying to make up for the mistake of rejecting the iphone the first time. Remember Apple went to Verizon first.. After they got rejected they went to ATT...

Also love Verizon's CEO's Ivan Seidenberg explanation at the time. "we don't believe it (the iPhone) changes the game plan that we put in place for how we segment the market and what we think will attract the wireless user."

I wonder what he thinks now....

Tim Cook and Peter Oppenheimer don't think so

Quote:

We view AT&T as a very good partner, the best wireless provider in the U.S. Very happy to do business with them. They have done a good job with the iPhone. We have no plans to change it. Technically, Verizon is on CDMA. We decided to focus on one phone for the entire world, which means you have to go down the GSM route. CDMA doesn't have a life after a certain point in time.
Regarding the Verizon- that is all about CDMA- rumors, he said that they ‘decided’ to focus the phone for the entire world and that “CDMA doesn't have a life after a certain point in time”.

Im wondering if Verizon will decide to cripple it like they do so many other handsets, or if Apple's license and contract agreements will force them not to. Interesting situation.
