lol good one
Right company, wrong tech; Qualcomm 4G LTE iPhone this summer. Will work on Verizon 4G, AT&T;3G, and T-Mobile 3G.
@ R2: “The only thing Steve cares about is profit, not your ability to surf the web and talk on the phone at the same time”
Really!? That’s odd because for the last 2 years they’ve been selling one phone that covers only one network GSM.
If they were really only interested in money, That would’ve expanded onto other networks in other countries by now.
@ Michael,
“If they were really only interested in money, That would’ve expanded onto other networks in other countries by now.”
They have expanded everywhere except in the USA.
I’ve never believed that the iPhone would go to Verizon, but these rumors are starting to reach “critical mass”. The occassional stray rumor here and there can easily be dismissed as b.s., but when they start coming one after the other, with nothing heard from Apple, it usually means there’s some truth there.
The same thing happened when Apple moved to Intel. Us Mac-fans had pooh-pooh’ed that possibility for years, despite the occassional rumor that Apple would go that direction. But leading up to the announcement, the rumors and analyst’s predictions starting coming faster and faster.
So help me, I think Apple and Verizon really are doing something together.

More Qualcomm stuff

Moritz is a idiot. Don’t ever believe him. There is a ulterior motive in this.
Verizon was behind the iDon’t ads and also did an island of misfit toys ad about the iPhone which was probably more insulting. No Verizon iPhone and you need to get over the Verizon love. AT&T;sucks, but Verizon is actually worse.

All I know is that AT&T;BLOWS ASS where I live we laugh at AT&T;people at our equestrian center in Santa Cruz standing on fences walking around trying to get a signal to even GET a call..nevermind the call and web surf at once bwahaha…I’ll stick with Verizon of course I’m old (47) and like a phone that ACTUALY get’s a signal and I can use….(hugs his Blackberry) but if Verizon gets the iPhone, I’m their like stink on shit, until then buh byy AT&T;and sucky service…l8r
I signed up with AT&T;about a week ago because I really loved the iphone. Well so far I love my iphone, it let me run my business on the go (I own a small home theater firm in Central GA), I can process Credit card and do all kind of things when I can. And that’s a big when; so far I am not impressed at all with AT&T;, I have no coverage At my house or within a 2miles radius (Potential loss of revenue as I don’t use a landline). I have no 3g Coverage in most of the areas that I sereved. I guess it is great to have phone that you can talk and surf but what is the point if you are on a crappy network. I never had a problem with Verizon dropping calls, heck I had better cell coverage with MetroPcs. So I am forced to carry a secondary cell phone and use Google Voice.
I’d swap to Verizon in a heartbeat, I don’t even get reliable EDGE service at my house even after installing a $600 amplifier and antenna mast on the roof!! My iphone only works at home on my wireless network, reception is bad throughout Kershaw County in SC. ATT network sucks!! Apple iPhone is fantastic!
How can you guys say that Verizon won’t get the iPhone because they demand “too much control??” They are in the process of getting the Nexus One, a phone without VCast, sold directly by Google. If that’s not getting over there control issues, I don’t know what is.
As for the Verizon iPhone, Apple would be stupid not to tap into that market with the continued increase in smartphone desire by customers, couple with Verizon’s steller network. As for the Voice + Data concerns, LTE is around the corner (which as far as I know lets you do both) so it would be smart for them to get in the door early to perfect the Verizon iPhone for when it’s up and running.
