There are complaints about the iPhone on AT&T, many think that it would be better on Verizon, why? Could Verizon’s network handle an onslaught of data hungry iPhones? Verizon’s network may be the largest but is it really robust enough? From my understanding most Verizon customer use dumb phones or text phones.

Also, it is doubtful that Apple will go with Verizon. With LTE, Verizon would have to upgrade the entire network before it could take an iPhone on. This will take years. Why, because if you leave an LTE area, you would fall back to CDMA network, no CDMA iPhone will be built and who would want an iPhone that is limited to urban areas?

Verizon charges are way too pricy. Tons of hidden fees and such.

You’re so right about Verizon’s parsimonious, nickel n’ diming ways, but they’ve got the network. With AT&T finally building out 3G in my neighborhood, I’m taking a serious look at making a move, especially if they and Apple offer some sort of iPhone nano and / or junior service deal.

Verizon was offered the iPhone before Apple went to AT&T. They would not agree to Apple’s insistence on control over the user experience.

Verizon is accustomed to crippling the phones they carry, so their nickel-and-dime revenue stream will not be disrupted by the technological capabilities of the devices.

My last phone with Verizon was a Motorola V710. The hardware was capable of transferring photos to my hard drive via bluetooth and playing music or ring tones stored on its mini-SD card.

Verizon wouldn’t tolerate these features because it would mean they couldn’t charge me $2 to download a ring tone, or $1 to email my photos to myself.

The fact that Verizon missed out selling all those iPhones is no one’s fault but their own. We can only hope that missed opportunity has taught them a lesson that will lead to an improved focus on putting the customer’s needs ahead of their own.

The iPhone is one of the best cell phones made. This phone would not work the same with out ATT. Verizon’s fees and charges are crazy and way to high. If the iPhone was to come out with verizon then no one would buy it because of it’s high charges, and all there crazy hidden fees. This is just to big of a lose for apple. Verizon is know for there high prices, hidden fees, and low service around the world. ATT is the number one service previtor around the world and is also know for low costs and the highest quality. No wonder apple chose ATT since the begining.

Yes! End AT&T’s exclusive distribution. I have a 3G iPhone and I’ll want another new one. I’d like to see lower rates offered, which can only happen through old fashioned competition. Plus I suspect Apple will actually increase it’s market share, which I have to think they realize.
