Default Apple's Iphone and VZW?

Thats the problem!!! Cingular signed a muli-year contract without
seeing the phone! But they were right on top of it.

Verizon was more concerned crippling phones and their stupid UI than out
there working on being a first class innovating company..

Apple wasn't going to deal with VZW anyway. This way they only have to build 1 phone that they can sell world wide.

yeah but it would have been nice if they had gotten this phone for Sprint and Verizon...........however the phone wouldnt be nearly as good on the Verizon network because Verizon would put their UI on it and it would just kill the concept of an OS X phone

I don't think people will care much about the network after holding one of these phones... I had to put up with no BB Pearl, no Treo 700wx and now this. This fan boy just crashed and burned!

That's an idea -- maybe VZW should sell iPhone "as is" (you may never get a signal, but you'll have the coolest phone!)

At the current prices and with Apple's history of not lowering prices much I don't think we will, but if Apple decides to offer incentives thru Cingular, we may see them a lot more, but I still don't think to the extent of the Razr.

I'm not in the mood to cream my jeans everytime I see some one with one. This is my 10th year with Verizon/Airtouch. Yes Verizon is good but I need to get rid of my $650.00 Ipaq 4700 and get one device that does it all.

If there's ever such a thing, chances are it'll come out supporting the most wide-spread technology (which is GSM at the moment). By the time CDMA version appears, there will be something it doesn't do

and then they will start to kill it like Moto illed all of their RAZRS but simply making a new one that was capable of one more feature than all of the others
