		<description>&lt;p&gt;Have an iPod Touch and a Verizon LG phone.  Want the iPhone LOTS, but I won&#039;t become an AT&amp;T customer.  Maybe if Apple does a contract with Verizon, getting an incredible number of new customers, the iPhones will be further reduced in price.  We can only hope!  Fingers and toes crossed.......&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I heard from a Verizon insider that they are testing an iPhone already....  I, for one, will be soooo happy to transfer back to Verizon after putting up with the worst service I&#039;ve ever experienced with AT&amp;T.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;AT&amp;T might exclusively own its network but it does not own the customers. Bring iPhone to verizon immediately!&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Here&#039;s the bottom line...people are on here disputing customer service related issues and things of that nature. We&#039;ll get down to it, but first things first...I&#039;ve worked at Verizon and am now an employee with AT&amp;T. Customer service-wise, in ANY verizon store, you walk in and you are a number, not a name. And the reps treat you just like that. Furthermore, to the dimwit that said AT&amp;T&#039;s calling plans are more expensive...theyre exactly the same, so learn up before posting. 
Now onto the facts...Verizon is on CDMA which everyone should well be aware of by now. Currently they are running TESTS in select areas. And its not even in major cities. So do you really think that the first place Verizon is going to deploy LTE is in a rural outback in a no-name city in wisconsin?? They are running TESTS...can i reiterate that ONE more time?!? Also, somebody touched on it earlier and if I could I would reach through the computer and shake their hand because they clearly stated that VzW is CDMA based voice and they plan on doing LTE data. The upgrade to a 4G network for AT&amp;T is just that...an upgrade. It can be done just as quick as 3G was launched. For verizon to convert to LTE will take a LOOOOOOONG time. They have to re-construct the whole network and start from the ground up. Converting existing devices to LTE...and in the meantime, what is that going to do to their customer base? Customers will have to get different handsets once LTE is in full effect. In regard to the younger up to middle-aged group, that might not be that big of a deal as most would jump at a chance to get a new phone, BUT what is that saying about the customer base thats fine with their phone, that isn&#039;t always looking for the hottest thing, the ones that settle with what they have. They&#039;ll get rebellious customers and their so-called loyal customers will become customers to someone else. Its simple! Launching VzW on LTE is not around the corner...its not even down the street, so for those hoping to get it, you&#039;d be able to switch to AT&amp;T and complete your full 2 year contract, before VzW is coming close to running the iphone! 
And then I really wanted to point out the guy that said he didn&#039;t want to have to renew his contract to get a new iphone??? WHERE have YOU been? With EVERY carrier, you have to renew your contract to receive the discount on ANY new product, otherwise, youre buying it at full retail. IF you plan to post, please know your facts. If you have the 1st Gen iPhone, and you didn&#039;t know you had to renew your contract, then youre obviously a 1st Gen phone buyer period. Either that or you&#039;ve been the one getting FREE phones all your life. 
Anyway, I&#039;m done rambling. But to say VzW won&#039;t get the iphone would be far-fetched, but to say that it will be anytime soon would also be very far-fetched. Despite what their reps might tell you, its nowhere close. Not even remotely. And its not because I work at AT&amp;T or that I can&#039;t stand Verizon...its that I base it off of facts, and if you read up about it enough, you will come to the same consensus.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;verizon should get the iphone, otherwise, most of us switch side and go to ATT. Verizon does not a phone that can match the iphone. We expect Verizon will listen to its loyal customers and get Verizon as soon as possible!!!&lt;/p&gt;
