iPhone gets announced for Verizon

The only company making money here is Apple

Good point, which is why a share runs over $340 now! I say it goes even higher after the iPad 2G comes out…

With the projected demand for people with iphones on verizons network they are going to run the current network too hard, data will be slow and congested, tons of problems ect. They should of waited another 1-2 years until the LTE network is at least covering 50% of their service area. Verizons current 3g network is a joke for any kind of “high” speed/bandwidth. ATT coverage is anything but spotty anymore, they just need to work on their high speed date coverage, which they have been, even locally!

Yeah I wouldn’t want to be the early adopter on this one. Maybe wait a few months to hear how things will work with the current Verizon 3G network. I’m glad the iPhone will be offered on Verizon though, it does appear to have the best overall coverage (though maybe not high speed as you said).

Yeah well they also started calling their network 4g before the standard was redfined to include LTE and HSPA+. AT&T is some shady shit…

What I’m curious about is why Verizon’s stock has dropped over two dollars in the last week. You’d think that it would be going up with and announcement like this. Unfortunately the drop tells me that they might be reconsidering their data plan structure and we might see a change in their billing. If that happens, I won’t be happy.

In the past couple months it peaked near $38 then came down to $36 level. If you believe the overall effect of VZ carrying the iPhone 4 will be a good one, maybe it’s a good time to pick up some stock for the (relatively) short term?
