Although Apple and Verizon may have been working together for an Iphone light that is no longer the case. I just found out from my At&t rep that Apple and At&t will be releasing a mac netbook sometime in october. That’s just what the reps have been hearing. What is for sure though is with this deal the contract on all devices was renewed for another 10 years so not iphones on other carriers for the time being

Well hopefully I can give some assurance. Before I even read this stuff I was talking to my buddy who is a VZW manager about the Omnnia HD, well he was talking about the iPhone.

Things that were confirmed:

iPhone will be on Verizon 2010
We will be going LTE 2010
It will not be a watered down version (lite) They have to change the name or something about it to avoid breaking the contract with AT&T. But doesn’t mean it will be missing all types of features.

Think about it. Apples sales will double once they put it on Verizon. I don’t see why this is a shocker to some people. Its a guarantee to sell on Verizon and they won’t have to make it for a CDMA carrier since Verizon is going LTE. Simple, going to Verizon equals more money for Apple. Do you know how many people would leave AT&T just to get it on Verizon, thats even more money for Apple because you have people buying the same phone over again just on a different network.

Mark my words. If you want your iPhone you will have it in 2010. Right now they are in negotiations. Verizon wants to fix the insurance issue and the removable battery. I think they will settle for the insurance. But with Verizon you WILL be able to get insurance on it.

Fanboy, child, all-around douche…

Unless you are a network engineer or corporate product developer, I don’t know how much you know about what you are claiming. By the way you are writing about it, you are most likely neither.

You want me to tell you about the moto comming this summer? The 3 HTCs were getting, a new nokia, 4 moto phones, 3 Samsung, and a couple of LGs? The new enV touch, enV3 with a 3.0 cam. Our new netbooks, and the LTE devices for 10? I know about them. You all have no idea what I do at Verizon. Haha!

It’s funny how now even CS representatives will talk about the speculation that a CDMA iPhone is coming. Just tell them your contract with Ma Bell is up in July and the VZW hardware lineup sucks. He seemed pretty eager to discuss what is merely speculation at this point.

You little children need to grown up. Get off you phones in school now so you don’t get in trouble by the teacher. I will talk down to ANYONE who is stupid and has no idea what they are talking about.

What’s an iPhone? And why does it matter if it goes to Verizon or not?

And most importantly, why does VZW seem like a such a flagrant douchebag?

@ VZW

You don’t know anyone here in real life. You don’t know what people do here for a living. You however sound like a child. You probably sell fake leather cases to verizon customers in the mall from a cart. That doesn’t qualify you to talk down to people.

Ok fanboys or peopel that have monikers such as vzw, here’s the deal apple’s profit statement was released last week and it earnings were higher than expected and it was mainly due to the iphone. Yes a phone is that valuable to them, well if your apple and when you got ur statment and saw this the first thing to do is branch the phone onto Verizon and its large customer base. And for who has leaked this info i would say apple, get it into mainstream news to see the interest, not coming from tech websites or ninjas but usa today allows the avg customer to see this possiblity. Also AT&T contract is up starting 2010, is was actually already renewed in 09 and is out in 2010 and at&t is aware of the potential of a verizon iphone and is trying to get there contract renewed which hasnt been successful yet, this was written in the wall st journal about 2 months ago. Anyway the iphone will be on verizon is 2010 dont know when in the yr but it will be available.

No. I work for Verizon wireless. And I’m calling you a att fan not because you’re so stupid. I know more about this then you do. AT&T SUCKS! The ratings show it! You worthless just like your att. Haha! Verizon is the best. They offer service in more place then any other network. They offer the largest 3G network, and will have the first 4G LTE network. Suck on that bitch.

And Verizon has LTE up in many places and testing. We have the money and licens to put it up. Face it, Verizon has and will succeed.

The iPhone on Verizon? That’s ridiculous! I even heard someone say that Apple was going to switch to Intel processors! Silly people.

VZW — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 16:01:19 +0000

Ok att fan boys. If you were smart you would Verizon doesn’t touch smart phones. Shit, the new smart phones comming out this year have wifi. Att sucks and everyone is sick of atts horrible network.

Also about LTE….
It takes years and years for carriers to build a network. Even if LTE comes out next year, it will be very limited and flawed for at least like 2 years. I do not see how Apple will just jump on 4G iphone anytime soon. Most likely, there won’t be any 4G iphone until like 2011.

Blackberry Bold — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 15:50:24 +0000

Just as much as I respect Verizon’s network, they restrict their devices way too much. I am not sure why would apple interested in developing an CDMA iphone? A lot of people say, “Oh, apple can just release iphone on verizon and they will sell almost double amount of iphones they are selling right now!”

Well, it depends. Just because you sell a product that does not meet your will be always profitable. Verizon and apple failed to agree in finance two years ago. How will it be this time? Well….
Personally, I don’t think there is any iphone coming to VZ at least this year. After Tim said, they have no plans on coming to VZ. I would say you would see iphone coming to VZ in like 2011 or 2012.

Does anyone really want a dumbed down Iphone? You know Verizon will disable WIFI and I’m sure a few more things.

Verizon’s LTE will be data only for a while. Voice will still be carried by CDMA. So the answer to the question in the headline rumor mill pablum is:

No.

Intersting that the latest rumors regarding verizon comes from news org. Rather then ninjas.
We have the last 2 days business week, USAtoday. Not to mention CNBC’s piece on a qwerty-touch BB for verizon this year.
Does that mean that Exec’s started leaking stuff lately? (Instesd of the usual “lab/factory” leaks) Makes sense to me. Since gadgets is playing a vital role and is becoming more relavant by the day, that’s very different then say 2-3 years ago.
