“Multiple Verizon staffers and other sources claim the CDMA iPhone would not only be ready in the summer but that it could be a launch device for the availability of Verizon’s 4G network,” Electronista reports. “While questionable, the Engadget details are billed as ‘surprisingly specific.'”
Electronista reports, “It would most likely be a hybrid phone with both 4G as well as CDMA and 3G if real, as Verizon doesn’t plan to cover more than 25 to 30 cities with LTE on launch.”

This explains the markets reaction to Apple today completely!
Sounds like an Absolute™ rumor
Wow, that’s crazy – a rumor about the iPhone on VZW!
<rolls eyes>
I guess people figure if they say it enough times and long enough, eventually it will come true.
PS: I refuse to have a ratioanl conversation with anyone today. I’m very much a conformist and would feel uncomfortable rocking the boat.
Who cares about verizon?
Again? I’m tired of these stupid monthly Verizon rumors.
Yeah right. I’ll believe it when I see it.
PPS: I’m also dyslexic.
Has Verizon told it’s store employees not to take vacation during any given month this summer? No? Then no iPhone coming.
An iPhone on Verizon would pull the rug from the Android/Google phones for sure.
Perhaps there is logic to this.
In the age of rumor and innuendo the neanderthal is king.
I can’t see Apple making two different iPhone models, but one phone that works on either network feels right. Kind of like the new Boeing 797 airliner that is also a submarine.
Anybody that any stock in the continual flow of Verizon/iPhone rumors is a droid.
Not going to happen until Verizon’s LTE network covers more than “25 – 35” cities. Period.
Here we go again! Blah blah blah Verizon blah blah blah…
It continues to amaze me that people spout and even believe this stuff. Forte last time, ahem:
VERIZONS NETWORK DOESN’T SUPPORT VOICE AND DATA AT THE SAME TIME! THUS NEGATING ONE OF THE iPhone’s GREATEST FEATURES! IT IS A DIFFERENT AND INCOMPATIBLE CELLULAR TECHNOLOGY WITH ALL APPLE PHONES PRODUCED TO DATE. THIS WOULD REQUIRE APPLE TO MAUFACTURE TWO DIFFERENT PHONES FOR A VERY SMALL PERCENTAGE OF THE WORLD MARKET, WHICH MAKES. NO. SENSE! AT. ALL.
This has been a very loud PSA for the deaf and dumb who continue to spout and believe this garbage.
MDN word: had, as in: had Verizon given apple what they wanted in the first place, and not been morons, these rumors would not exist.
