Verizon CEO Says 4G IPhone Could Be on Verizon Soon!!!
Verizon CEO Ivan Seidenberg took advantage of a recent chat with the Wall Street Journal to talk a bit about Apple. Seidenberg said that Apple never wanted to make a version of the iPhone for Verizon's CDMA network, since it wouldn't be able to be as widely distributed as the GSM-based models it eventually produced. Uh, yeah, Ivan, thanks for joining the rest of us over here in the nation of Duh.
Mr. Seidenberg also addressed the notion of Apple Inc.'s iPhone ever coming to the Verizon Wireless network, saying it is more likely that Apple would be willing to work with the carrier under the fourth-generation, or 4G, network, which follows the same technology standard as AT&T Inc.'s 4G plans."

I could really not care if verizon did get the iphone !! I am sure by the time LTE is sucessful we will all be saying I what?!!
I would rather have my curve any day than the storm or the i-phone ! I have had both and really have to say the best one is the curve I would even take a pearl over the iphone !!
Touch Screen phones kill the battery way to quick which is crazy !

I agree... why even care about an Apple iPhone when Blackberry exists? BlackBerry will always dominate Apple. Always.
...
You seem to forget it's not what "you" or "I" want, it's what the people buying phones want. I say bring it! Hell, we sell the Glyde don't we...
...
Thank you. Any carrier which carriers the Motorola Q Silver or the Samung Glyde should be willing to carry the Iphone.

A new rumor suggests that largest US mobile carrier, Verizon, is in "high-level" talks with Apple to produce a CDMA-compatible iPhone for its network. However, this rumor flies in the face of recent comments from both Verizon CEO Ivan Seidenberg and Apple COO Tim Cook to the contrary.
USA Today cites "people familiar with the situation" that say the goal is to have the Verizon iPhone model ready to launch next year. As best as anyone outside of Apple and AT&T know, the exclusive contract that AT&T has with Apple does expire some time next year, though some believe that AT&T is looking to extend that deal to 2011

I have an IPOD touch and could care less if they came or not...Just my opinion. It would be better cause then I wouldnt have to use my WIFI which totally drains the battery...But seriously with all the technology the iPhone has they cannot develop a browser with Adobe Flash player support...Weird eh?
...
they made a conscious choice to not support flash because:
a: full flash support is a bloated, slow, bandwidth munching, insecure pig
b: "mobile" flash is garbage.
I am certain they were hoping to work with Adobe to make their mobile flash better, but Adobe seems incapable or uninterested, and so Apple has worked with most of the important websites to develop alternatives to flash.
a straight cross-compile of Flash for the ARM/iPhone platform has already been done, and it sucked so bad Apple refused to allow it on the phone.
Apple is not the problem here, Adobe is.

An LTE iphone would be awesome. But apple needs to allow the phone to run more than one app at a time. My friend has an iphone and if you runs google talk he can't do anything else on his phone. I can run gchat on any blackberry in the background.
Once they allow that, I would consider an iphone. But for now, Its all berry baby!

I have a BlackBerry Curve now.... What do you mean?? Run in background?? or what I am I already doing that I don't know I am doing??
...
It means that I could have 4 instant messenger programs running in the background with BB. With the iphone, if you run gchat, your phone is not usable except for gchat related functions (one app at a time, cant multitask)
