There was a Bloomberg article that was released yesterday indicating that Apple will launch iPhones under Verizon Wireless in January, 2011. We all anticipated this move, whether it be soon or much later in 2012 when AT&T exclusive agreement runs out. One of the most common complaints iPhone users have now are the dropped calls and weak 3G signals. I am a current iPhone user and even stood in the line for 10 hours to get my iPhone 4 and I get dropped calls at least 1 time every day. Other friends have complained that they started experiencing dropped calls as soon as they switched over to the iPhone. It’s very frustrating. It’s also very frustrating when I have zero signal on my iPhone and my friend has full signal bars on his phone. When I ask him who his carrier is, he says Verizon and then starts laughing at me for having no signal on my phone.
Well, if the Bloomberg article holds true, Verizon users don’t have to wait that much longer to be part of the iPhone bandwagon. I previously wrote about best online brokerage firms and I would recommend signing up for one and suggest in buying Apple stock now in anticipation of the Verizon iPhone launch. When it does come out, will you switch over to the Verizon iPhone? If you’re a current AT&T iPhone user, will you switch to Verizon?

I saw this too…but also saw something to the effect that Verizon has been known to “leak” information in an effort to stave new users from flocking to AT&T. Guess we’ll have to say which holds true!
FinEngr,
Yes, whether it’s just a false rumor or not, I believe iPhones will eventually come to Verizon. Exclusive agreement with AT&T runs through 2012, we’ll see a different carrier by then at the latest. Apple is not going to stay with AT&T exclusively forever.
