SpaceGhost Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 http://www.macrumors.com/2010/10/08/ny-times-confirms-verizon-iphone-for-next-year/ The New York Times adds their confirmation that Apple is planning to launch a Verizon iPhone early next year. After more than three years of using only AT&T cellphone networks, Apple is now making a version of the iPhone 4 for Verizon's network, according to a person who is in direct contact with Apple. Apple and Verizon will begin selling the phone early next year, said the person, who agreed to speak on condition of anonymity because the plans were supposed to be confidential and he did not want to alienate his contacts at Apple. The report comes just days after the Wall Street Journal similarly reported that Apple was going to ramp up production of a Verizon iPhone later this year for an early 2011 launch. This is not the first time that we've seen rumors for a Verizon iPhone, though the combination of sources from both the New York Times and Wall Street Journal adds to the credibility of this round of rumors. Interesting to note is that Verizon CEO Ivan Seidenberg will be keynoting the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show on January 6th, 2011. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Believe it when I see it. Not that I even cared - I left Verizon for AT&T for the price anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceGhost Posted October 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Being confirmed by the WSJ and The NY Times is completely different. Joe I care, it will free up AT&T's network as many migrate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you get more off with a corporate discount? The plans on both sides mirror each other to a point that I question if they are somehow working together.

V8 Beast Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Apple should have found a way to do it before this last contract they signed. They will make money but millions of people are android fan boys now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin R. Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 All of the newest Droid phones on Verizon have Bing. Says so on their website. I don't have Bing on my droid either, hence the reluctance to upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are concerned about the way a android phone is setup before you actually get the phone (and root it) you are doing it wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhett Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 Where I am living right now in Pickerington My iPhone 3Gs gets no signal... I am not out in the Country I am about 3 miles from sr256 off of Diley Rd. So I called AT&T and asked about getting a discounted rate since I cant use my phone when I am home. They Told me there was nothing they could do except send me a new SIM card. So I played hard ball and said thats bull shit. They said sorry. I Said I had Verizon before them and not 1/2 the bs with them as I do with at&t so I said I'll just switch back. Then they pulled the iPhone card... God I hope Verizon does get the i4. I will be there the day it launches! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better corporate discount + they had a lower minute plan Verizon didn't offer us = a lot more money saved. why don't you get a microcell? Why don't you stop giving logical solutions to solvable problems? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8 Beast Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 Better corporate discount + they had a lower minute plan Verizon didn't offer us = a lot more money saved. Yeah, they dropped the ball if they didnt offer you the 300 share plan. Some of the people act like its a top secret plan or something.

Some of the people act like its a top secret plan or something. Yeah, but Verizon still doesn't offer rollover, which is what seals the deal for the low minute plans.
