Eric Slivka reports for MacRumors, “In a very brief response to a question from Beet.tv regarding the iPhone, Verizon spokesman John Johnson notes that the company is not planning to carry the iPhone in the “immediate future”, before quickly redirecting the conversation to tout Verizon’s new handset offerings.”

MacDailyNews Take: Imagine having to go to work all day to pimp fake iPhones because your management shortsightedly wanted too much control of their dumb pipes? John probably can’t wait to retire.

I don’t understand why people badmouth AT&T;so much. I’ve been using my 3G since December 08 and I really don’t have any complaints. I get service everywhere I go except my ex’s dwelling (I think AT&T;is trying to tell me to stay away) and I rarely drop calls. I don’t have any reason to complain.
I did read, ATT said their network was having so many problems due to high data traffic. They handle less than 2 others. Who care where the traffic came from, they can’t handle it while 2 other cell providers handle way more. But they have it rough because they have more phone data traffic. Big freaking deal. They have less traffic overall. Do you work for them? I would be freaking pissed if I had an iphone and the network sucked. I sure as hell wouldn’t be on this site saying they had more data usage from cell phone knowing full well they don’t have the traffic other companies have. Poor freaking ATT, I feel so bad for them. Maybe they should hire some guys from sprint to show them how it’s done. Spend some of the money.
