I could not believe it yesterday when I was in the Verizon store contemplating the purchase of the droid (or waiting for the Ally). In walks a customer and they ask when the IPHONE is coming out. The verizon rep said JUNE! I was shocked! Could this be true!?!?!?

This is what happens when Verizon employees read whatever they see on the Internet like it's God's truth directly from his own mouth.
According to the Internet, we're also being poisoned by our own government, which owns a secret earthquake-making machine, but that's ok because machines and aliens all own us anyway. Aliens visit us all the time and leave their own unwanted alien fetuses in dumpsters. The corporation that owns that dumpster also owns the President and the rest of government. Tori Spelling is breaking up with her husband, which is in itself a conspiracy to cause people to ignore the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
Oh, and an iPhone is coming, too.
As I've said on many other threads, the people who will know LAST a...

Sarcasm. The wireless business is chock full of people who think they know what they're talking about. Myself included, I suppose, but at least I don't accept fantasy, conjecture, and rumor as total fact.
...
Well, a rep at a Verizon store told one of my superiors (miserably unhappy with his Tour) that it is coming out in June, and although I tried to tell him it was simply "rumor and speculation", that is like talking to a wall. A rep said it; therefore it must BE. Sigh. I HATE THE IPHONE.

I wish I could use the amazing speculative powers of a Verizon schlep to make a lot of money in the real world.
...
Yes, but the one time someone who does spout nonsense is correct, they can crow about it on this forum and win...absolutely nothing.
...
i would believe the first story about the government and aliens before the iphone in June.....
oh and the story about the earthquake machine is true.... they just tell Ruben Studdard where to sit down.

Hopefully on Clay Aiken's head.
Funny thing happened yesterday: I had someone ask me about the iPhone (as they do just about every hour now), and I told them the Verizon iPhone was like a unicorn from the World of Internet and Make Believe. They got agitated, claimed I had them hiding in the back room waiting for the green light to sell them, and stormed out.

F?

But we DO have stacks upon stacks of IPhones hiding in the back. Thousands of them ready to go as soon as we are told to sell them. They are in the back hiding behind the loch ness monster, bigfoot, and that earthquake machine.

We hide ours int he back with swamp gas harvested from Venus, which we obtained through the wormhole kept in the bathroom.
...
Of course, Apple denied that they were working on an iphone until the last as well.

Could be 2012, too. 🙂

Verizon finally getting the iphone... world ending.
I don't think even God would be that mean to Scott
...

What on earth will he and other have to look forward to once Verizon FINALLY has an Apple phone to sell? I worry that people have become so accustomed to the anticipation of that moment that they won't know what to do with their lives once it's come and passed.
...
That's is koo koo talk! 😉
It will be like jumping into a pool on a really HOT day EVERYDAY!
Ah REFRESHING i finally have my phone, the best phone in the world The IPHONE!!!

All we need new is the sound of a beverage being poured into a glass.
...
🤣 🤣 I love you Scott!
...
Be careful what you wish for...you just might get it.... 😲
...
That employee is right. A new iPhone is coming out in June. It's just still going to be an ATT exclusive phone. It will not be on Verizon (or Sprint or T-Mobile) for a long time yet. (Depending on what you think is a long time, of course)
...
...figured as much. I really didn't think he was telling any truth to be honest. Just couldn't believe he said it because all things point to the IPHONE not coming to verizon for some time.
PLUS, this is the same rep that when I once returned a phone, he left my number on the phone that I returned and started my new phone up with someone else's number. SO--I was sure he was incorrect, just wanted verification, I suppose!

So if verizon is getting it, that is when they are getting it.
So no, it's not true. no more true than someone telling you that the aliens are coming.
Is it possible? maybe. But NO ONE at a store level would know one way or another until Steve jobs opens his pie hole and spews his "magical" announcements.

Steve Jobs can part the Red Sea. Twice, with his hands tied behind his back.

Steve Jobs has the cure to cancer but is waiting for someone else to release a cure so he can release his redesigned cure

Sounds like that rep talked you out of buying a phone.
