Why does every single thread about the iPhone have to come back to "iPhone on Verizon?"

Ahaa... Thanks, I simply could not figure it out. Looked like something from Lilo & Stitch...
Hmm, not just young users. At the age of 50 I went into the Apple Store in Bristol, saw the iPod Touch, spent two hours walking around town thinking "shoud I? shouldn't I?" then went back and bought it. A couple of weeks later I was regretting renewing my contract with Vodaphone and wishing I'd gone to O2 and got an iPhone. At least VF are getting iPhones early next year so I don't have to wait until Sept.
Anyone wanna buy an 8GB Touch 2G
My understanding is that a putative Verizon iPhone would use some ubiquitous 4G network that Verizon (and others) are supposed to be rolling out, not CDMA.
Funnily enough I was going to mention this as well, I can see what the article is saying but personally until the battery life of these devices gets better I would still like to keep my Phone and my PDA/Movie Player/MP3 player seperate so I dont end up stranded without a phone after watching a few films!
In the UK we are starting to get a few interesting options, one being the "MiFi" (or a protable wireless router that works on 3g) which I think is out in the US and sounds more or less what you are looking for!

Im going to go along with this. I got a 1st gen iPod Touch as soon as they had come out
it was a good trade off from the Original iPhone as the cost involved was much greater
and i was still tied up with a T-Mobile contract at the time
But after using the iPod for a few months my contract ended and i switched to O2 and my 3G and now i see a lot of kids with the iPod Touches either way Apple is raking money in so theyre happy!

I would consider the iTouch a gateway drug.
I bought my first iTouch a year ago and have been pining away for a Verizon iPhone ever since. ATT internet coverage in my area is spotty at best.
Anyway, I bought my first Mac this year, also, after my experiences with the iTouch.

Hmmm, I must be in the minority then. I have an iPod Touch and love it. I use it for listening to music, watching vids and playing games and apps. Even some light browsing. But I really have no intention of getting an iPhone.
I really prefer to have my media content and my phone in 2 separate devices. Maybe that's just me. I have an Android phone on contract and love it as a phone and communications device.
As I said I absolutely love my iPod Touch but I'd never want to get an iPhone, and all those suggesting it's a gateway to the iPhone or a kids starting block I think are wrong as I can't be the only one in this boat.

I totally believe this. I freaking love my iTouch and would kill to have it as a phone on a network that functions in my area.
The only thing my touch has done is make me want to get a touchscreen phone when it's time to renew my phone/contract.
A lot of people on here talk about reception/dropped bars with AT&T, but I never see any discussion about price. To get all the features for an iphone isn't it horribly expensive, like near $100 a month? I prefer Sprint because they're the cheapest and yet have great reception where I live. On top of that, if I'm roaming I can use the highly touted Verizon network, so I receive all the benefits and pay less. I think people are too quick to pick a side before looking into all their options.
