iPhone definitley not coming to Verizon

110% not true... First off... As much money as apple will bring to the company.. They will allow the iPhone software.. MAYBE a different theme at most.. Lastly look at all the windows phone.. Theirs not any special software on their.. Just a verizon covered theme that u can go in and change.. Now on the basic phones, flips.. Then yes they can't put their on software.

1. It's not talking about UI, instead about the app store.
2. Verizon is creating their very own app store, they will allow other stores be installed but not pre-loaded. Apple will be the one that won't allow that to happen.

Verizon will not allow any manufacturers to install their software-store on devices which will be distributed by Verizon. Instead they must ship it with verizon's own shop-software. :eek:

This will Apple definitely prevent from making business with Verizon.

Um, no ... it's by no means definite. The iPhone is an exclusive, proprietary device and would certainly not be held subject to Verizon's quaint "shop-software" requirements.

Verizon has been wooing Apple for months. Once the exclusivity contract is terminated and if Cupertino has decided to manufacture a CDMA iPhone, do you really think they would restrict the phone to Verizon's app store? :eek:
