I have issues, but you're ranting about a billion dollar company. . .
Go get some help my friend. You can go play in traffic while you wait for that Verizon iPhone.

The net effect would be the same. If Apple didn't offer the next-generation iPhone to its current carrier partners, it would basically be the same thing as telling them to take a hike.
You sound like you have not analyzed the situation fully, nor do you show any indication of understanding how Fortune 500 companies run profitable operations.
You should probably focus a bit more on such matters, since these are the factors that a large company like Apple Inc. considers when they release new products.
Verizon has already commited to LTE. No SV-DO
They have for a very long time. And for much cheaper. Don't know current price but used to be just $15/month IIRC. Or was that Verizon?
Apple does praise AT&T, it's in their keynotes, WATCH THEM! and i never said Apple was never gonna come out with an iPhone on Verizon(okay, maybe i did.) But i can actually see that happening by next year or later.
lmaooo you make me laugh.. you just picked the wrong guy tonight. first off im not a kid, second of all you can't day trade on an iphone, sure etrade and TOS provide that but, its IMPOSSIBLE to trade in and out of stocks on a phone give me a break..lmao
i have used both programs, so tell me you have a Crystal ball that tells you when to buy or sell or do you like to loose money? Because last time I checked a normal person who day trades uses a computer where they can track live charts using 10m or 15m, while also looking at RSI, stochastic, 200sma, 50sma, o yea and bollinger bands, along with researching all at the same time while still watching the stock, you are one pathetic specimen. The only trading a phone is gonna provide you that will make you any money is if you are already up 10%+ on a position and wish to sell, thats about as good as those apps are going to do for you as far as day trading is concerned, good luck using those to analyze charts with technical analysis.
you my friend provided me with the greatest laugh I had all day, thanks a lot for that!
Why is this such a big deal? Seriously, is surfing and talking THAT important? Drinking the commercial kool-aid
And on LTE, yes it will support it.
When the iPhone launches in June I am sure it will only be available for ATT and most people will just get it, then when it rolls out for Verizon everyone will kick themselves b/c they are paying a termination fee to go to Verizon. It's inevitable!
I bolded out the three words that just defeat your statement, I don't think I need to say anymore on that comment.
As far as trading goes most people use their phones to check stocks and look at the standings then they will go and use their laptops or desktops to do the rest. What I was getting at is it can be done for just checking, purchasing and selling even if you have to use the support of a computer. Glad I can make you laugh.
I think everyone likes a band-wagon, especially in this economy for Mac lovers out their it's something to look forward to, plus if you invest, Money in the Bank!
I'm guessing it will be announced several years from now, when the AT&T exclusivity contract expires.
are you in denial? i said they provided trading, those programs aren't meant for you to day trade, they are only good to watch positions and sell if you need to, by no means are they a day trading tool
Agreed not meant for day trading, I over exaggerated that statement, I figured most people would get where I was coming from. Obviously their is always 1...
Sim tray? Let's see...we have seen a grand total of what? Two prototypes? Wow. What a big sample you are using to base your opinions on. Plus, pretty much everyone agrees that a phone for another carrier would be released later in the year, not in June. Meaning there wouldn't be prototypes to be found on bar stools yet. They wouldn't be quite that far along yet.
Court doc? Contracts? Because that's what they started with. Doesn't mean there wasn't a new one drawn up later. Nor does it preclude certain targets of performance not being met giving Apple an out. There are MANY variables at play here. You need to think outside the little one-contract-last-forever box that you seem to have put yourself into.
Why iPad on AT&T? Could be many reasons. Best deal. Existing relationship. Or even an incentive to change the terms of the original contract and allow Apple to sell to other carriers. In other words...a negotiating tactic.
As for praise, I have never seen a huge amount of praise directed at AT&T. However, anytime you are in a business relationship with another company, you tend to try and make nice in public. What you may really think or say behind their back is another matter entirely! It's doubtful that Steve Jobs is totally happy with how AT&T has handled their end of things. I am sure he doesn't like his product becoming late night joke material because of another companies issues.
Your fears are unfounded. A lot of folk online here have Verizon for business or personal use and know its speed from experience.
EDGE tops out at ~230Kbps.
Verizon 3G usually gives 600Kbps to 2Mbps+.
True about LTE, however SVDO can be implemented on the device maker's side without any network changes.
all I know is that if the iPhone does indeed come to Verizon, I will gladly wait out upgrading my almost 4yr-old Razr rather than jumping on the Android bandwagon like I could have since the Droid was first released... *crosses fingers*
Well for people who had the original iphone it was a big deal at the time and it sucked. It was probably the biggest legitimate issue with the original iPhone.
So I know it will be a big issue if and when verizon gets an iPhone.
Although I suspect that will not happen until after LTE is fairly widely deployed.
So it will be a while, and this will not be an issue. If the phone came out this year it would be an issue.
Depends on the person and the application.
One perfectly plausible scenario is talking while driving and using your GPS-enabled smartphone as GPS device (e.g., turn-by-turn directions).
I don't own an iPhone, but I certainly use my computer a lot while I'm on the phone, so I could easily see plenty of opportunities for simultaneous voice and data use on smartphones.
Ha ha! Isn't that the truth.
One reason AT&T's network has issues is the bandwidth demands placed on it via the iPhone. I would imagine that Verizon will be no different.
"Thinner and with a faster processor." It doesn't exactly take clairvoyance to make that prediction.
I recently switched to Verizon. In my area at least, the difference is very noticeable in both data & voice. I thought the same thing but this report says otherwise.
I can see why people are very adamant about a VZW iPhone. The coverage is great for them. The only thing holding them back is the 3G service in their area, or the voice service is below par.
Seriously all the arguing about VZW vs. ATT recently has been RIDICULOUS.
APPLE WINS IF IT HAPPENS. Imagine how many iPhones will be purchased if Apple is with both VZW & ATT. Everyone claiming to know it won't happen are delusional, just like those who claim it will. Only a select few lucky individuals in all said companies know FOR SURE what will happen in 2010. For the unlucky ones (us) We'll all find out in time. And hopefully all benefit from whatever happens.
Nah....the lack of 3G and having to use the slower EDGE instead was the biggest complaint with the first one. Not voice and data at the same time.
