Verizon communications has a 55 percent share of Verizon Wireless (the other 45 going to a european partner) so I think it’s safe to say that what effects the wireless company effects Verizon communications also.

On February 3rd Verizon’s existing customers will have an opportunity to pre-order. On February 10th, everyone will be able to order online, in stores, or in Apple stores. The pricing (if you were to buy one) would be: $199 for the 16GB, $299 for 32GB – mobile hotspot include. Up to 5 devices can connect to the hotspot.

The verizon iPhone will not be able to talk on the phone and browse the web and/or text at the same time like the AT&T one does. CDMA is not capable of this.
Overall, I think this is a positive move but have no interest in ever leaving AT&T. I am a very happy and loyal customer.

If you’re an android user and you’re not rooted/reflashed I’m not surprised you’re bored.

Probably because Verizon realizes fanbois outnumber the amount of people who prefer the customization available with android. I know so many people who want an Iphone just because it is called an Iphone.

true i have no problem agreeing with you, i personally dont like the limmits of an iphone and what apple will allow, thats why ive always jail broken mine… i gave an old phone to a friends sister and shes used it for a few months, she came home from college and i ask her about it and she had no clue the possibilitys she was given, app store 99% free, total customization on the phone itself. , etc etc … she just wanted a iphone. i should of taken it back:facepalm
