My Predicition When Verizon Gets The iPhone
I'm already aggravated over their hypocrisy! 😡
The iPhone will open the floodgates of Verizon customer backlash against Verizon's upper-handed control. To Verizon's credit, their network performs so beautifully for the same reasons Macs reportedly perform so well; tight control over the hardware and user experience. When you control the handsets so tightly, you can make sure they work well with your network.
The iPhone runs contrary to that, and there will be customers who won't want an iPhone, but perhaps want something else that Verizon hasn't blessed. I don't see Verizon ceding control, because it has worked well for them. I also see Wall Street giving Verizon a bad time from changin...

I think we're all paying the price for having the iPhone on our network.

what are you talking about? don't you claim you use 2G only? If that's the case then you should not even be affected at all 🙄

AT&T doesn't have the spectrum assets to support the iPhone data demand and the growth that it's experiencing every day almost everywhere in the country. They won't be able to handle the increasing demand going forward, especially if VOIP gets mandated when the whole Google Voice thing shakes out or some other network-killing app shows up on the scene.
Upgrading their existing network to 7.2 Mbps or even LTE is not going to solve the problem because even though these technologies make huge improvements in theoretical end-user speeds, they are still hampered in the amount of data that can be transferred per MHz of clear spectrum....

I believe you are correct in that at some point, the iPhone will be on other carriers. Probably not CDMA, more like whatever the rest of the world decides is the next evolution.
The assumption that every other carrier told Apple to go fly a kite on the initial launch is ancient history.
Either way, we're in for an interesting series of events the next year or so.
Just an FYI my opinion is that the Iphone will still be a major player in years to come, but the next generation devices will be android.
The great thing that apple has going for them is there marketing, just to state I am a Verizon Wireless customer. Now with that being said, the Iphone just came out with copy and paster on the 3GS. The way Apple marketed it in there commercials was amazing!!!! I so wanted to use copy a...

And i would totally agree with you about apple, i own apple products already and they are really good. But i do have to give them koodos about there marketing, specially with the copy and paste. It's all about marketing and how they set it up. your right momma!! haha

I interpret those commercials a bit differently.
I find it hilarious that it's taken so long for such basic functionality to be added to the iphone - yet you can only get this functionality by buying yet another iphone.

Hence the reason why I don't buy into the iHype.

I have a feeling that if the iphone ever goes to verizon (or any other carrier) it's only because at&t has something else lined up that is better. They may not have the best network (though that's mostly just opinion) but there's never been a question that at&t has ALWAYS had the best phones.
Agree^^^ Verizon is about 5 years behind in cell phones... 🤣 🤣 They always get CRAP 🤣 🤣
Now for the second point: It is true that verizon Wireless does not have as good of equipment compared to GSM service providers. Now, with that being said, in the united states you have to pick your poison. CDMA technology is far the better network in the united states. The #1 reason why I have a cell phone is to make calls in the case of emergency and every other reason why I have a cell phone follows behind that.
So for me Verizon Wireless is a better choice. Other peoples opinions or us...
