Verzion Turned Down Apple's iPhone! Say It Ain't So!
When I read, USA Today's Verizon rejected Apple iPhone deal, I was begging the article was not true. I so want the iPhone, but I would not switch to it, unless two conditions be met.
(1) It runs on the Verizon Wireless network
and
(2) It has the high speed broadband network
Right now Cingular is the exclusive wireless provider for Apple's iPhone. Plus, it won't support the EVDO network.
But when I read that Verizon turned down Apple, "almost two years ago", because Apple "wanted a percentage of the monthly cellphone fees, say over how and where iPhones could be sold and control of the relationship with iPhone customers." It made me sad.
I honestly, would jump at this phone if it was on Verizon and used the high speed network. But I guess now I will have to wait probably two years to get it. Which is probably good anyway. Right now, I am very happy with my Treo, it does everything I need.
But as a Mac guy, this phone fits perfectly with my applications and style. It does not currently fit with my need for speed and wireless provider.
Why Verizon, it works best in my area here - plus it is solid where ever I travel. I am loyal.
